Create Painted Effects 44 in ParticleShop
One of the most interesting Photoshop plug-ins avail- able is ParticleShop from Corel, which allows you to “paint with particles” and add vibrant, energetic effects to your images. Corel recently upped the ante by not only adding more particle effects, but also increasing the core capabilities of the plug-in with Dynamic Speckles and F-X Effects brushes. These latest brushes work directly with the image pixels in a way that’s reminiscent of the Liquify filter in Photoshop, but with a lot more options and capabilities.
