johnhattan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Over on humblebundle.com this week, they've got a couple of interesting software deals. One of them is "Corel Photo Brush - ParticleShop", which looks quite impressive. http://www.painterartist.com/en/product/particleshop/ The tech specs say that it'll interact with. . . Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS6, or CC 2014+ Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® CS5, CS6, or CC 2014+ Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and 14 CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X6+ CorelDRAW® Technical Suite X7+ Corel® PaintShop® Pro X6+ Corel® AfterShot 3 and Corel AfterShot Pro 3** That's a pretty big list, so I assume it's just a standard Photoshop plugin. Anyone have any experience using this gizmo with AP? It's currently bundled with a bunch of other stuff for nine bucks, so I'm not gonna be too broken up if it doesn't work. Just wondering if anyone's ever tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted June 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have purchased this bundle and the ParticleShop works with Affinity Photo running on Windows as a plugin but it will not run as a plugin on the Mac version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhattan Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Terrific.Thanks for trying it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmstraker Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've got it too and works fine. When exiting Particleshop it offers returning a whole image or just changes. Accepting changes results in these appearing on a layer with white background. I use filters/colours/erase white paper to leave only the particle adjustment as opaque.

johnhattan Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Two other hints. 1. The Humble Bundle "How to install this" page says you must install AfterShot before you install this. You don't. 2. In the opening dialog box that tries to sell you more brushes, scroll down to the bottom of the list and there's a free one.

paristo Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Just found that deal and just in sake of curiosity I bought it (well, it was 8,40€ after all) even when it would end-up to be a one try (like a one beer!) and I must say that I have no remorse how Corel has destroyed their product line with all the "Pay us more to get these and these!" and all other "shady" things.

Adobe do this too. If you use Elements, there's lots of 'get better stuff in Photoshop. pshaw.

ambiroa Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Ahhh thank you for mentioning ParticleShop, was actually looking for a trial to see if it works with other hosts other than the ones listed. Now I know it does with AP. Has anyone tried it with AD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixx Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 bummer Though you can open AD file in AP and apply there. THAT should be tested as I have not tried that and have no idea of the limitations if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
