It’s been a busy time here at Corel! In addition to
Painter 2016, we also released
ParticleShop,
a new brush plugin that works with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Corel
PaintShop Pro, PHOTO-PAINT and more. Using the power of Painter’s brush
technology, ParticleShop allows you to create fantastic, photo-realistic
effects with a few simple brush strokes.
Painter users may already be familiar with our
Particle brush
technology and rest assured, these Particle brushes are still
available, and better than ever in the new Painter 2016! But for other
users who may be looking to add these incredible effects right within
their photo editing application, ParticleShop opens new possibilities
with brushes that spring, flow, gravitate and glow based on your unique
expression.
With just one brush stroke, you can create realistic hair, fire, fur,
light or other effects that previously would have been too time
consuming to attempt with a standard photo editor. No brilliant idea
will ever be left behind now!
We’re not the only one’s excited about this. The folks at KelbyOne recently shared their thoughts on ParticleShop:
“When I first saw ParticleShop in action, I was blown away by the
effects that could be created in a matter of minutes,” said Corey
Barker, Education and Curriculum Developer, KelbyOne. “The atmospheric
enhancements that can be added to photos are unlike anything I’ve seen
before. Without ParticleShop, a designer on a tight deadline or budget
might not even attempt to bring these effects to life, but now it’s
virtually effortless. ParticleShop will change the way users realize
their creative vision.”
But of course, you have to see these effects to believe them. Check out some of our before and after photos below, or
download the plugin and take it for a spin.
