PostWorkShop Turns Images Into Art

Press Release
PostworkShop transforms your photos into works of art. In its most basic form, you can roll the dice and have PostworkShop apply random artistic styles to your image. Otherwise choose one or layer several of the 350+ styles experimenting to see what looks best with your photo.
PostWorkShop, by Xycod, creates artistic effects for your images that transform pictures into works of art.
Natural looking artistic filters
Transform your photo or render into an oil painting or watercolor, pastel drawing or pencil sketch, abstract artwork or old-time photograph.
Work fast, save time
Achieve quick results with the 350+ built-in styles. You can blend and chain them in a familiar layered compositing user interface.
Create your own styles
Build new styles easily with the node-based filter graph editor. Or just blend and tweak a few existing styles and save your layered composition as a new style.
Reuse and adapt your styles
You need the same effect as last time? Just apply your saved style and adapt it to the new image. You don’t have to restart anything, you can always tweak all the parameters.
Take your Art to the next level
Unleash your creativity, leave behind the usual look, show something different. Photo, fractal or 3D render, everything looks better with an adapted artistic style.

Fits into your work environment
Exchange data with your graphic applications through industry-standard file formats including layered Adobe® Photoshop® PSD images. You can also use these brushes in your paintings.
Combine the built-in filters with your own styles to create new artistic effects in the Style Editor.
