Important Note: Impression 2 requires Windows 7+, Mac OSX 10.9+, and a GPU with OpenGL 3.3 or higher. I don’t think I will be using on all of my photos because I still like the natural look, but on certain photos I know I will be running them through Topaz Impression and seeing what kinds of effects I can get. I absolutely adore what the Van Gogh preset did to my Icelandic waterfall, and the bluebonnet just above turned out amazing in my opinion. I have to say, I’m extremely impressed with Topaz Impression! Every time I try a new Topaz product I think I’m not going to like it as much as Clarity, Adjust, or ReStyle.

I then opened each of the photos in Topaz Impression and then chose the preset I liked the most for that particular image. Examplesįor these example images, I selected a variety of images at random including animals, flowers, and landscapes. I actually didn’t customize any of them in my examples below, I just picked presets and used them just as they are out of the box. Making these customizations is totally optional. If you want to customize a preset, you just click the slider icon and all the sliders will pop up allowing you to made all sorts of adjustments.
When you are finished playing around with the presets and have your photo just the way you want it, you click “ok” and your photo is rendered into a painting. You can then customize it if you want, or choose a different one. You simply click a thumbnail and the preset will be applied to the preview on the left.
This is a very quick and easy way to see how each of the presets are going to look on your photo.
On the right side, you pick one of the collections from a drop box at the top, and then all the presets within that collection are shown as thumbnails below it. In the example below, I have split the left side so it shows the before and after versions of the image. On the left side you will see your photo with the preset applied to it. You can adjust a variety of settings such as the brush stroke, brush size, and the number of strokes, as well as other aspects of the preset such as colour hues, lighting effects, and textures. You can simply pick one, as I did in all the examples below, or you can further customize the preset using sliders. There are over 140 painting presets in 7 collection to choose from. Topaz Impression uses intelligent drawing technology to add painting effects to your photos. I had a blast seeing what kinds of effects looked good on different types of images. I didn’t get a chance to review this product the first time around, so I was delighted to be able to check it out this time and play with all the presets on some of my photos. My friends over at Topaz Labs have done it again with the latest release of Topaz Impression, their plugin for adding artistic effects to photos.
