Create Painted Effects
in ParticleShop
One of the most interesting Photoshop plug-ins avail-
able is ParticleShop from Corel, which allows you
to “paint with particles” and add vibrant, energetic
effects to your images. Corel recently upped the ante
by not only adding more particle effects, but also
increasing the core capabilities of the plug-in with
Dynamic Speckles and F-X Effects brushes. These
latest brushes work directly with the image pixels in a
way that’s reminiscent of the Liquify filter in Photoshop,
but with a lot more options and capabilities.
