Instant Artist effects<br />

Instant Artist will bring your artistic side out—creating your own masterpieces by<br />

picking from a variety of classic painting styles (with no paint splashes!). The tool<br />

will transform your image in a single-click. Classic styles include Expressionist,<br />

Impressionist, Oil, Old Master, and many others. More abstract styles are available<br />

such as Munchist and Van Gogh.<br />

Whichever style you choose, you can take advantage of Instant Artist's powerful<br />

studio environment. This provides a resizable dialog with large scale preview<br />

window, a thumbnail gallery showing each effect (for visual clues), and a<br />

comprehensive range of context-sensitive effect settings. Instant Artist's<br />

interruptible redraw also means that you can make changes to your settings<br />

without waiting for your image to refresh; the effect will be redrawn immediately.<br />

To launch Instant Artist:<br />

1. Click the button on the Photo Studio toolbar (or select the<br />

option from the Effects menu).<br />

2. Select an effect's thumbnail from the thumbnail pane. You'll see your image<br />

update to reflect the new effect.<br />

3. To see a different part of the image, drag it with the hand cursor. Click the<br />

Zoom buttons to zoom in or out.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
