App Profile: Painteresque

PamPrints

Rating: 5/5

This is my favorite photo filter by far and I have them all. I would give this app 10 stars if I could! Used on the right pictures and with judicious restraint it makes textures really pop. I particularly love Painteresque for stone, wood, foliage and fur. Simply stunning on most textured objects. It does not look good on smooth surfaces such as skin or sky. Props to Simon Funk for making such a fantastic filter app. Please consider making Painteresque available for as an app for the Mac. I would love to be able to easily use in in conjunction with Photoshop. Right now I’m doing this but it is cumbersome to have to import the photos between the iPad and Mac

This was my first photo effects app when it came out in version 1. I loved its simplicity - turning me from a so-so snap shooter into a creator of art works I loved. I still go back to my earliest edits with appreciation, and some of my friends like them best. With version 2 I have more control thanks to the fine tuning option. Today I use Painteresque mostly as one stage of my effects as there is nothing else quite like it. Thank you for an inspiring app that has more flexibility than first appears and does what it does with no fuss and beautifully. It's worth every penny. Well done.

Hands down my most favorite processing app now for several years in a row!! Absolutely stunning and amazing with nature portraiture, landscapes and architecture!! Great fine-tuning options too! No other app has this level of aesthetics in the resulting image!
