Adjusting the density, texture, and thickness of the brush strokes, you can not only enhance the volume and get impressive effects, but also find your own painting style.

My Review
I love this program ! Being an Art Major, it really appeals to me as at times I don’t have time to spend on painting a real painting. I can see many uses for this program, even for those doing desktop publishing and those who might want to make their own cards, scrapbooking and other projects. It works well for a blogger/reviewer also. You will love this program and If you have photoshop it works as a plugin also. This is one awesome program !

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Looks like a really interesting program! I can see how it would be fun for scrapbooking, or for a picture you wanted to hang up in your home.
