Alien Skin Snap Art 1.0 for Adobe Photoshop




Snap Art creates beautiful, natural media artwork in a single step. Render any image in an unlimited variety of real-world art styles including oil paint, pencil sketch, pen & ink, comics, and more. Great for stylizing photos or graphics, Snap Art works without laborious hand editing and is more versatile than Actions or brushes.

Conventional artists often use an underdrawing to outline key objects within a composition. This lightly drawn sketch serves as a guide and is usually painted or drawn over in the final composition. Similarly, Snap Art uses edge detection to discern the objects, edges, lines, and shapes of an original image. Then, using this outline, an advanced paint engine strokes and fills this outline using the brushes and colors you specify. This allows realistic reproduction of detail, but balances that realism with convincing artistry.

Loaded with hundreds of settings, Snap Art distills this complicated process down to a single step. Simply find the factory setting that works for your image. And for the advanced user, detailed controls are available to fine tune a composition for the desired effect.





 






A: Menus
Command menus are accessible when you launch any filter. Macintosh users will see the menus in place of their usual menu bar. Windows users will see the menus at the top of the filter preview window.

B: Tabs

Sliders, color swatches, check boxes, and radio buttons appear along the left side of the window. These controls are grouped on tabs according to function. Click on a tab name to switch to that related subset of controls.

C: Settings
Settings are collections of slider values that can be recalled with a single click. Snap Art ships with hundreds of factory settings, which allow for one click effects. Users can also create settings to define their signature look.

D: Thumbnail Navigation
The thumbnail image above the preview window allows you to move the preview anywhere in your image with a single click. The movable red box displays the area of your image visible in the preview window.

E: Show Original, Move, Zoom
The Show Original, Move (hand) and Zoom (magnifying glass) tools are found above the preview window. The Show Original button enables you to toggle between the filtered and unfiltered versions of your image. Just click and hold the button to view the unaffected image. Release the button when you want to view your image with the effect.

Click the hand to enable the Move Tool. Then click and drag to move around in the preview image.

Click the magnifying glass to enable the Zoom Tool. Click to zoom into your image, or Option-click to zoom out (Alt-click for Windows users). Double-clicking the Zoom Tool at any time resets the preview window to 100% magnification.

F: UpToDate Message Indicator
When you see this visual cue, you have a new message from Alien Skin Software.

G: Preview Background
Choose to fill transparent backgrounds with the standard Photoshop-style grid, custom colored grids, or even solid colors.

H: Split Screen Preview
New in Exposure, this menu gives the option to divide the preview in half, showing the filtered image in one half and the original image in the other.

I: OK and Cancel Controls
Clicking the "OK" button applies the filter with the current settings. Clicking "Cancel" closes the filter window without applying the effect.

J: Preview Window Area
Preview the effect on your image here. The preview area can be resized by clicking and dragging the bottom right-hand corner of the filter window. Windows users can also click and drag the bottom of the window.

K: Mouseover Help String Area
All elements in each filter window have mouseover help text associated with them. This help text appears at the bottom left of the filter window whenever you move your cursor over a user interface element.

L: Render Status Bar
The rectangle to the left of the magnification indicator is the Render Status bar. As an effect is being rendered in the preview, this rectangle displays the amount of rendering that has been completed.

M: Magnification Indicator

The current level of magnification is shown to the right of the render status bar at the lower right corner of the filter window.
