    Dear Dave,
    as a hobby photographer, I have so far simply optimized my photos, no matter with which software. I have never been interested in painting. Your videos, and especially this one, opened my eyes and broadened my horizon. It's really great what Topaz Studio 2 has to offer. It's also a lot of fun to try such a filter on different photos. Just the right thing for a rainy autumn evening.
    So thank you very, very much for your excellent video series!

    Excellent demo! I'd been curious what the Impression filter could do, and yours was the first video that demo'd it well.

    Thank you so much Dave! ❤️ This is a fantastic video tutorial. I appreciate the time you take in each of your videos. The painter that always comes to mind with Pointillism is Georges Seurat. His work, I believe, is the most famous of everyone who used it. He and Paul Signac created the style.

    By 100 miles Impression is my favorite program. My issues have resulted less from the controls themselves, but with achieving the appropriate printed output. I liked and agree with your comment about matte papers, but I usually prefer canvas. The trouble with that is getting it to run thru a printer with a profile that produces the appropriate level of color saturation and a pallet that approximates the kind of colors painters actually use.

    This video is amazing. I am an Electronic Engineer with zero ability to paint. After watching this video I can not wait to convert one of my Cattle Roundup photos into a painting. I just purchased this program yesterday and can not wait to try it out.

    Thanks for this informative video! I was using Topaz Studio for a year and just installed the Version 2. Free upgrade since I had purchased Topaz Impressions in Studio last year! I took lessons from a Bob Ross instructor back in the mid , late 90's! Nice that we have the ability to achieve similar effects with software such as this ! Subscribed to your channel.

    I've been using Topaz Impression as a stand-alone for a few years but (as usual) you've covered some things I never knew. What I think is extra inventive about Impression is that the smaller the details in the image, the less they're affected by the effects one applies - so the details aren't 'drowned out' (in this case, the weave of the burlap and the stripes on the melons). Those Topaz techs are sooo clever! Cheers from DownUnder.

    Thanks Dave, so well done as usual. In terms of the smaller number of Impression presets in 2 versus 1, I think there are some more under Looks Artistic. And of course you can “favorite” any of the other TS1 presets, I.e., Georgia O’Keefe, that are missing in TS2 & then migrate these favorites into your looks in TS2

    Dave, I took a second look at your excellent Impression Filter video. You stated that you thought that Topaz would add more presets. Did they, in fact? I have the legacy Topaz Impression 2 program that has many more presets, e.g. from Cezanne, Van Gogh, Renoir, etc., not found in TS2.

    Hi Dave - I get a black checkered pattern when using the impression filter. About 1/4 of the bottom gets this defect (especially on more rigorous presets. Have you had this anomaly?

    Dave awesome video have a question are you able to blend different brush styles, mixed media, in the same image? Like say on the watermelon different to the carrots and so on. Would this require layers and then blended?

    • @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly
      @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly  5 лет назад

      Ren if you are in TS2 you can use different brushes only if you add an additional Impression filter. You would also have to use layer masking to blend in. I like to do it that way. The other approach would be to use Photoshop and go to TS2, add an Impression filter and bring it back to Photoshop and use layer masking if needed and then stamp the layer and take back into TS2 and then use different brushes in Impression and continue layer masking and blending the results as many times as needed. I like the way you are thinking and it keeps you from getting a more signature look. I hope this makes sense. I will get around to do some full edit TS2 Impression tutorials in the future.

    How do you pop-up the size of the panel at the right - the effect layers. When you work - somehow you make the working panel bigger and I can't figure that out. Thanks.

      Good question Jan. I make the panel bigger with my video editing software. Topaz Studio 2 doesn't allow you to make it bigger. I enlarge it so it is easier for my viewers to see. Thanks for watching.

    Dave can you make your own brushes and add them?

    • @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly
      @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly  5 лет назад +2

      Hi Lynn. Great question. But I have to say you can't. You have to use the brushes Impression gives you. That would be a great feature, however. There is a lot of tweaking you can do to the brushes, as you saw in the video, so you can get many different painterly type looks. What I sometimes do is bring the painting back to Photoshop and then apply Photoshop artistic brushes on a new layer adding to the Impression result to take the painting even further. I will do a video on this technique at some point.
