Photoshop CS5 preview by Thomas Hawk
Photographers painting? What has this world come to?
"I’ve wanted to paint for years, but have never had the talent with a physical paint brush. I’ve tried various software solutions to paint digitally and never have they done what I want. Usually painting effects in digital imaging software come out more as cheesy filters, routinely and uniformly
applied over an entire image, resulting in something that feels more like a faux painting than a painting. But with Photoshop CS5’s new painting module, you have a new unprecedented amount of control over painting and brushes and can manually now paint over a photograph and turn it into the most realistic version of an actual painting I’ve ever seen."
