It's been fun playing with the Olympus editing program...I really like it, but it is a little slow...

With your painting or artwork , to ensure you won't have any damage to the actual print or any color bleed or color fade, I would suggest you put a protective seal over the artwork first; dry thoroughly and then do your clear crackle size and finish. I use Color Seal. It has very low co-solvents that won't harm the art piece. good luck.

Thanks for the pics lafonda_ranch and michelle. Our entire LR was paneled also, looking at the before pictures,.. . .am wondering why I was even remotely interested in buying this house, deep down I must have known it had potential. Told DH this room was going to get painted, he decided to tear down the panelling, drywall, add mouldings, tear up the 'lovely' green sculptured rug, install hardwood. I do believe this large project almost did him in...for some reason he seems reluctant to start renovating our 70's bathroom lol. before after to be done (70's bathroom) (note the gold veined mirrors & hanging angel lamps...I've kinda gotten fond of them, great lighting for doing makeup.

Try the watercolor feature, too. It works especially nice on flower photos.

Thank you all for your comments...
Konrad, easiest painting I've ever done and 'no mess'...
Solstice, I've tried all three, cartoon, watercolor and the oil painting art...Fun!
Trailrunner, this program came with the Olympus camera...The steps include a 'slider' for how much art to apply and a choice of 5 thicknesses to choose from...from extra thick to extra fine...I've tried 'painting' before with Vicman's & the one from Paint.net and never really understood how to do it...For one thing I'm not that good at the seemingly more complicated stuff...and this one I just choose how ever much effect and click whatever thickness...Of course you find the best results by trying the differing settings to get what you like, but it is so easy!
