#CGG: Corel Paint It! Review and Giveaway

One of my passions is taking photographs. I will be the first to admit that my cheap camera rarely takes remarkable pictures, but I always enjoy capturing life's precious moments. The majority of the photos I take are placed in photo albums and stored on our bookshelf. Now, with Corel Paint It!, I can transform my pictures into unique paintings to be displayed proudly.

Paint It! by Corel takes your favorite photo memories and magically transforms them into unique paintings in just a matter of seconds! This photo painting software includes multiple painting styles, brushes and realistic effects that let you add a personal touch to any creative project. With the random brushstrokes of Corel Paint It, you will be able to produce distinct artwork every time. No two pieces will be exactly alike. The result is always a unique, hand-painted portrait that’s sure to wow your family and friends.

Installation only takes a few minutes before you’re ready to begin. Paint It! is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I had so much fun playing around with my old photos and experimenting with the painting styles such as oil painting, watercolor sketch, pastel painting and more. There are 15 brushes which include: pencil, felt pen, sponge, airspray, spray paint, smudge, furry brush (a personal favorite) fire brush, fairy dust, neon pen, wave brush and dissolver brush.

Other features include pan, crop, rotate, zoom and more. Corel Paint It! comes with a quick start guide which walks you through the features step by step. I have had so much fun using this program and look forward to using it for future projects. This would be a great holiday gift for adults and would be easy enough and tons of fun for kids too!

Corel Paint It is sold for $39.99 at www.corel.com.
