A Digital Portrait Painted

Interesting effect. I have never used Corel. How does it compare against PS or LR.

It’s a similar interface with many types of brushes. Check out http://karensperling.com/ and http://www.heatherthepainter.com/384270/digital-paintings/ for some serious photographs painted. I think it’s worth trying the demo to see what you think. I have spent a good 20hours trying to learn just a few brushes and their uses. The thing I like about the software is, you could take a so so photo and create something better.

lol this says it all :) i think it’s easier and more fun to learn and take a better picture in the first time
What an ignorant response Clami, the software by Corel is a great resource, which allows creative manipulation. No one disputes getting an image right in the camera, if your every actuation is perfect and if you never use LR or PS etc to post process then you are magic. But I bet you use a post processing technique to get an image to look better. Come down of your high horse.

i never made any comments on the software and i never said that every actuation needs to be perfect. i also never said that i don’t use software to edit images.i just made a remark on your idea of spending hours editing a picture to create a look so unrealistic that might help savin a picture from going to the recicling bin. i see that as time wasting and i would just dump it. no matter how much you process the picture above, it will still be a not so great picture.
also i wouldn’t confuse the normal image processing required when shooting in Raw (contrast, sharpness, white balance etc..) with the extreme processing used above.
don’t worry.. i take plenty of crap shots too… but i delete them..
I don’t see painting portraits as extreme, just another art form medium of post processing. Actually, painting isn’t about sharp, contrastsy, well balanced images, it’s about one persons interpretation of a visualised imaged. So even if a photo isn’t perfect, the basis for a digital painting is still effectively captured. So rather than just binning all images, I would argue, if an individual likes the medium of regular oil/water based painting, don’t be so quick to auto bin not so perfect images.
If you don’t like digital painting from photos, fine, others may.
I bin plenty of images too.
