"Digital Paintings" Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 - Corel PSP Pro X3

Adobe Building

Fishing Wharf

"Adobe Building," this is a Photo-Manip and Auto Painting. I used Corel PhotoPaint and applied the Local Equalization tool, then adjusted the Tone Curves for depth and increased the saturation. I saved the large file and opened it with Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 and selected Modern Painting, with a Dry Sumi brush, and Pavement for the texture. I then Auto Painted the image you see here (resampled for display.) 

"Fishing Wharf," I opened this photo in Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4. I Auto Painted using the Watercolor Sketch with a Dry Brush selected. I then saved the file and opened it with Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 and added Vibrancy to the hues and saturation. I used the Picture Frame feature to add the edge and small mat and border/frame.

I used the Visible Watermark for my signature and saved the large file then resized it for sharing here.

It's not "hand" painted, but I enjoyed playing with the image!Both images are from a Challenge at Painter Talk Forum, that I belong to. They could be painted by hand in Watercolor or other media could be used. I was really busy today so I chose Photo-Manip and Auto Painting with these great programs from Corel.
