They are labeled as upgraded in the All Preset category. I have to admit it is taking some "getting used to." If you have created presets in Snap Art 3, you can bring them into Snap Art 4. The appearance of Snap Art 4 is very different than that of Snap Art 3.
Since these new features refer to improvements over past versions, I am going to compare some screenshots of Snap Art 3 with Snap Art 4.
SNAP ART PS SKIN
The new features in Snap Art 4 according to Alien Skin are basically three: thumbnails of presets so you can see the effect on your image a darker and redefined interface for less distraction and under the hood faster rendering of an image.
I will be testing it using Photoshop CC and Windows 7, 64-bit. In Photoshop, I use Snap Art to soften the lines, add a texture, and give the image a particular "feel." Thus, I hope you can see that Snap Art 4 has many possibilities. My personal workflow is usually conceiving an image mentally, creating it and rendering it in e-on software's Vue, and then bringing it into Photoshop for refining. In this review I will give examples of the Alien Skin presets using them directly on photographs as well as 3D rendered images. Now I use them for special purposes to soften and make more life-like 3D renders. They can be used very successfully to imitate an oil painting, printed on canvas, or they can be used to add an interesting "painterly"effect to an image.
I liked to use these media presets and ones I created for my own effects. However, I never desired to imitate an oil painting or a watercolor. When I did mainly photography, I used Snap Art to give my images effects similar to natural media painting. Snap Art 4 by Alien Skin Software is a plug-in as well as a standalone program to turn photographs into "natural media paintings." Snap Art has been my favorite plug-in for creating "painterly" images.
