Corel today introduced a new version of their ParticleShop plugin, which gives professional photo editors and compositors the ability to create images that were previously too time consuming or even impossible to achieve - right within Photoshop and Lightroom. ParticleShop uses the power of the Corel Painter Particle brush technology to create specific, photo-realistic effects. Whether users want to add hair, fabric, fire, smoke, fur, dust or lighting to their photos, ParticleShop brushes can create these life-like effects with a simple brushstroke. Built to perform with a pressure-sensitive tablet, touchscreen or mouse, ParticleShop brushes enable users to add their unique artistic enhancements to any image. The updated version adds support for Dynamic Speckles and F-X Effects, as well as more than 100 new brushes allowing users to create looks that are more realistic than ever. ParticleShop is available for $49.99 or as a free update for all registered owners.

New ParticleShop Delivers the Next Gen of Expressive and Realistic Photo Effects to Photoshop Users

With more than 100 new grab-and-go brushes available, ParticleShopTM plugin adds to the power of ParticleTM Brushes with new brush technologies for truly transformative photo effects

OTTAWA, CANADA — January 17, 2017

Introducing new ParticleShopTM, the brush plugin that gives professional photo editors and compositors the ability to create incredible images that were previously too time consuming or even impossible to achieve - right within Photoshop. ParticleShop builds on its renowned ParticleTM Brushes with new support for Dynamic Speckles and F-X Effects, powerful brush technologies never available before outside of the industry's digital art standard, Corel® Painter®. Photoshop and Lightroom users can now instantly access more than 100 new brushes to create looks that are more realistic, organic and fantastic than ever.

New ParticleShop brushes take advantage of Particle, Dynamic Speckle and F-X Effects technologies to deliver a fast and responsive photo editing experience with truly unique and personalized results. In just minutes, users can achieve more natural, hand-painted effects with thick pronounced strokes, luscious smears and pointillist looks that expressively distribute color within the speckles. Use one brush to create photo-realistic effects that spring, flow, gravitate or glow based on your unique expression; then grab another to experiment with strokes that bulge, diffuse, pull and twirl.

“Every creative professional knows the feeling of settling for good enough when the look they wanted to achieve alludes them. Maybe the deadline was too tight or you simply didn’t have the right tools to get to your vision. The new ParticleShop gives you access to hundreds of unique brushes to apply virtually any effect you can imagine in a more responsive, expressive and organic way,” said Chris Pierce, Global Product Manager for Corel Digital Arts.

The new ParticleShop is free to current users and includes a Core Pack with 11 new brushes. Users can also choose from 6 new brush packs leveraging the new Dynamic Speckles and F-X Effects brush technologies: Impression Pack, Blenders Pack, Expressive Pack, Grunge Pack, Nature Pack, and Creepers Pack. ParticleShop now gives users access to more than 350 unique brushes for realizing their creative vision.
