Frequently Asked Questions

What intensity should I use?

Start at 5 for balanced effect. Lower for subtle, higher for strong painting style.

Does this work on all photos?

Yes, works on any photo. Results vary by image content and detail.

Can I use for commercial art?

Commercial-use rights depend on the rights and license attached to the source image and any other material used in your project.

What's the output quality?

The processed result is exported as JPEG. The effect intentionally smooths and changes image detail, and JPEG encoding can introduce additional compression changes.
