I've come across this beautiful sketch preset but I can't get it to go down the entire 4800px canvas, it just stops and is driving me nuts. I know I should probably know how to set it, but I confess - I don't. I usually always paint with Cintiq.
Many people who come to the forum are very interested in the photo mosaic work created by Studio Artist artist Charis Tsevis, which is generated using Studio Artist's movie brush painting features.

There has been a lot of discussion on the user forum about different approaches to creating paint effects that look like they are painted on textured surfaces (like paper textures or canvas textures). A very similar topic is generating raised or impa
Liveart said that I might have used Fractured Light on one of my images and I was wanting to use Fractured Light and couldn't find it. Is it a recent preset or maybe just for Macs? Thanks.
If only I didn't have such short term memory! It seems that when I get a very cool effect, I keep wanting to experiment some more. And then I forget what the devil I was doing. On this unfinished work, I found a way to make the canvas change on ju
The interactive warp operation mode allows you to dynamically warp the current layer, source image, or selection based on the movement of your mouse or pen cursor.
To generate an interactive warp, you just mouse down in the canvas. Then as you move t
Someone recently asked about how to program the paint synthesizer to build a tiling pattern based on an image brush where the image brush rotates 180 degrees for each successive application of an image brush paint nib (like the tiling pattern seen ab
