Topaz "Impression 2" is here and it is on SALE for 40% off!!!

Topaz just released their newest version of my favorite editing plug-in/stand-alone program called Impression 2. This update is free if you already own Impression, but if you don't it is 40% ($59.99, originally $99.99) until July 7th with the coupon code: 2IMPRESS.

I use the Impression filter in Photoshop all of the time. It easily loads into your Filter menubar and you can use it like any other filter in Photoshop/PSE. It really blows away all of the artistic filters that come with Photoshop/PSE. I use Impression to design custom artistic textures that I add to my images, or I apply it to my photos to get painterly effects.

You can use Impression very subtly to add a bit of texture to your photos or completely change your photos into artistic works of art. You can also use Topaz Impression to design  beautiful custom papers and textures that you can use on your own work or sell commercially!

I just downloaded this new version and I will write a review as soon as I finish playing with it. :-)

Read all about it below!

----------------

Topaz Impression generates natural painterly effects by painting brushstrokes one at a time. (It just does this very fast!) Impression can paint over 10,000 brushstrokes in less than a second, all while completely following your artistic direction, making truly personal art that you can call your own.
