But that does not mean I do not want to create something new using some of my photographs as the starting point. That’s, I believe, one of the most interesting aspects of the program.ĭo you want to transform all your photographs into something else? I know I don’t. Furthermore, it allows you to edit these effects and create your own, meaning you can express yourself in infinite ways. Yes, it does transform your photos – or whatever image you feed it – into something else, from a collection of 143 curated pre-made effects covering every imaginable technique. I do believe, though, that the program opens an immense playground of possibilities, and that it should be explored with that in mind. I do not think Impression 2 needs to be sold supported by the idea that it transforms your photographs into paintings, or works of art or whatever some people want to call them.
Let me add one more note here: I think that one of the worst comments photographers get about their work is: “it looks like a painting”. I know it gets confusing here, but I wanted to mention this, as I think it is crucial: you’re not painting as the masters, you’re using an automatic program and do not have the same degree of control they had. Furthermore, it suggests that if painters could do it the same way, they would not do it as Topaz Labs says they did to create art: painting brushstrokes one at a time. Well, this contradicts the info given: that the program can paint over 10,000 brushstrokes in less than a second. But Topaz sells the idea that Impression 2, “helps make your photos more expressive by authentically turning them into art, the way a real painter would: painting brushstrokes one at a time.” I am sure Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne and all the others would envy me if they had a chance to see me working on my photographs. The program can paint over 10,000 brushstrokes in less than a second. I love what Topaz Labs Impression 2 does. But is it the aim of every photographer to be a painter?ĭon’t get me wrong. Topaz Impression 2 aims to relate its users to names as Monet, Van Gogh, and Cezanne, by giving them the tools to create different expressions of their photographs.
