Alien Skin announces Snap Art. How does it compare to our Comic Art Effect?

315394206 017bde457d m Alien Skin announces Snap Art. How does it compare to our Comic Art Effect?Alien Skin Software today released Snap Art, an all new plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and other image editors. Snap Art quickly creates convincing, one-click natural effects with no laborious hand editing. Artists, photographers, and designers can now give a hand-crafted look to any digital image.

Snap Art introduces several effects never seen before in a plug-in. Convincing line drawings, both pen and pencil, are now possible in moments. These can be combined with shading and crosshatching for a more realistic image. Snap Art can also recreate an image with a comic book look, complete with shading and half-toning. How does it measure up to our own Comic Art Effect? Well, it i certainly faster, easier and offers all kinds of experimentation before you commit to the effect. And you don’t even really have to commit to the effect because Snap Art offers you the option to have the effect applied on a layer independent of the one you are affecting. But as far as how the results compare, see for yourself…

I, for one, am suitably impressed. I admit I was unable to exactly duplicate our effect with Snap Art, but it brought the image closer to the goal in one step than our tutorial could in 5 pages of the 9 page tutorial. Pretty slick and it comes only three years after I suggested that Alien Skin make such a filter!

Snap Art also a wide variety of traditional effects. Digital artists can render a still life with pointillism as a Neo-impressionist might with more control than Photoshop’s built-in Pointalize filter. There are also dry brushed watercolor, thickly textured impasto, colored pencil, charcoal and oil pastel effects to chose from.

Snap Art sells for an estimated street price of USD$149. Registered users of other Alien Skin products can purchase Snap Art for USD$99 when ordering direct. Snap Art is a plug-in; it must be used with one of the following: Adobe Photoshop CS or later, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 or later, it also requires 512 MB RAM and 1024×768 or greater monitor resolution and a G4 or G5 PowerPC processor and Mac OS X 10.3.9 (according to the press release… runs fine on Intel based Macs too).
