Visit the blog at: sagelighteditor.wordpress.com This tutorial shows how to use Sagelight Image Editor to blend the Oil Paint and Circle Paint with the original image to get a more ‘Thomas Kinkade’-type paintings in Sagelight. I also show a more watercolor-type painting at the end of the video. The Circle Paint and Oil Paint make interesting images on their own. But, when you combine them, you can make an even different style of painting. You can use many different settings to control how the painting looks. In this tutorial, I show two examples. One that is a nice Christmas Scene and has a very nice oil painting effect (a different type of oil painting than the Oil Paint Effect in Sagelight), with lots of sharp detail. The other one is more like a watercolor lanscape scene.
