Snap Art was previously reviewed by DigitalDingus, and a much more elaborate review can be seen on the DigitalDingus Snap Art Review page. However, the following is more of an overview of what Snap Art can do. Alien Skin is generous in providing Snap Art with the Eye Candy Effects Collection. Snap Art has a clever name, and it really is how it sounds: complex art renditions are completed in a snap.

Original Image
Below is the Impasto filter applied to the image above. Just imagine a nice large print on your wall. You could start making your own Impressionist creations, call them your own because they are, and spend considerably less.
Using The Impasto Filter
One of my favorite filters in Snap Art is Oil Paint. Below is an example of a few simple tweaks which give a realistic look, revealing more detail than the standard Oil Paint settings, but yet still leaving an overall impression of the Oil Paint effect.

Using The Oil Paint Filter
Snap Art is a special set of filters from Alien Skin which let you conduct in-depth and realistic artistic presentations of your images. It is simply invaluable for photographers and graphics artists who want to add their own creativity and interpretation to their images.
