Creating an impressionist effect
•
Blend Over Original
Use this to blend the brush strokes with your
original image. This is useful when you are using smaller brush strokes and
want to reduce any semi-transparent areas around the brush strokes.
•
Texture Map Method
Use the menu on the right to choose how your
brush stroke colors will be processed.
$
Preprocess
The brush stroke colors are based on the underlying pixels
of the original image. When you move the brush strokes, they retain their
original color.
$
Postprocess
The brush stroke colors change with the underlying colors
of the clip. For example, if your brush strokes are mostly blue and then they
are moved to an area of the clip that contains red, they will turn red.
• Random Seed
Adjust this setting to change the placement of brush
strokes in your clip. The brush strokes are randomly affected based on the
value you select. For example, if you notice the brush strokes in your clip are
always in the same place, you can use this setting to move them.
•
Crop
Allows you to crop the edges of your clip. For more information, see
