I'm going to post a recent painting followed by a series of posts with variations done using some Topaz user created effects. First time I have used Topaz and there are some interesting possibilities. Looks like the program is aimed at photographers looking to enhance/manipulate photos, but using an artistic image to start and then applying various artsy effects brings up some new looks. I'd say about 1 in 30 of the effects produces "believable" artistic results, but a few show promise.
