Painting styles
The Photo Painting panel is located on the right side of the workspace and provides several preset painting styles. All of the painting presets pick up color, intensity and lightness from the original photo, then apply brushstrokes in the style that you choose.
Oil – applies a combination of short dabs and longer brushstrokes to produce the color and texture of oil paint
Impressionist – applies short and very visible brushstrokes to create the illusion of movement and light
Modern – applies bold brushstrokes and adds vibrance to colors to produce an abstract reinterpretation of a photo
Illustration – applies a wide variety of brushstrokes to produce an illustration-style painting
Detailed Watercolor – applies a translucent wash to produce the smooth, soft effect of watercolor paint on your photo
Watercolor Sketch – applies a combination of drawn lines and watercolor brushstrokes that add depth, texture and contrast
Colored Pencil – applies fine-tipped colored pencil strokes
Pencil – applies graphite pencil strokes that appear to be drawn by hand
Pen and Ink – applies sketchy strokes with a pen and black ink that appear to be drawn by hand
Pastel – applies colored pastel strokes that appear to be drawn by hand

Review
We live in a fast moving world, so we want to achieve so many things in a short span of time and yet we expect to achieve the best results. Digital Photography is part of our life to share our events and so on, of course with some fun touch-ups. This is where COREl Paint It! comes to our life as it helps to have fun way of transforming our photographs into something artistic-looking, and yet we are not willing to invest too much time into learning complicated digital photo manipulation techniques, this would be an ideal software package for us. I tried installing it on both Windows XP and 7 computers and the installation process went smoothly and without a hitch. The user interface is very clean and straightforward, with only a very few controls so it’s very easy to get used to it even without the instruction manual. The included help support is indeed helpful if you have any questions about any of the features. The tools that are included are really fun. The learning curve is simple and fun. The final images did in fact look very realistically painted and definitely qualitatively different than what we would have gotten by applying filters in Photoshop. However, the rendering of each image can take a while, and if we have many images that you want to “articize” it would serve us well to be patient with the whole process. So if you are a person who shares your pictures with special effects to your friends then you must have COREL Paint It!
