Art is the expression of feelings, the way it is expressed has changed dramatically with the lapse of time. It has came into existance way back in primitive era. We can still find the traces of it in ancient caves. From caves it made it's way to canvas and from canvas to desktop, in this age of rapid communication, it has served as a basic tool for design, apart from a hobby art has wide scope and applications. The way it has made the way from different medium, tools used for expressing them have also changed from stones, brush to paint application. I still remembers the way i used to create the drawing on simple paint application which comes preinstalled on my OS. Oh God how horrible it was. Totally digital, it doesn't look like a real art at all. A perfect art application should promise a digital representation of a real picture, so the success totally depends how intelligent the application is. Hope postworkshop will go long way as far as new demands and expectations are concerned.

When you need an easy application to get stunning and unique effects plus the most artistic manipulations for your graphical needs, PostworkShop will help you to appear like an art´s master.
Outstanding results at your fingertips.

I'm using Basic version and want Artist Edition - please, count me in

G'Day,

As an amateur traditional artist and sometime digital artist (mainly working with photographs and Photoshop) i was intrigued to see this giveaway offered and found it to be a nice drag and drop way of working to apply effects to images.

Postworkshop is available in 3 levels, free, Artist and Pro, we are being offered the Artist edition, which differs from the Pro edition in the following;
- limited to 2000px X 2000px image size,
- no plugin mode,
- 32 bit only,
- no video/animation batch processing.
The above not-withstanding the Artist edition is chock full of digital manipulation goodness, that should keep anyone busy with their images.

The website for the Postworkshop is very well designed, imho, with lots of tutorials in both video and text options and it is very comprehensive, covering most aspects of the program and what can be achieved with it, by the way the in program help takes you to the website, not much good for those not on-line, but the tutorials are available for download, so that is nice.

The program, in my case had to be downloaded via Regnow (Digital River) download manager, which worked fine although i find having to do the extra steps to get the software annoying, but that is just me.

The program itself is presented with a default view of "advanced" however you can change this in the "options" menu to either "simple" or "classic", which really only changes the work area view in minor ways, the bottom work area shows or doesn't depending on the chosen option.

The program uses layers with your selected images that you can then drag and drop various preset effects onto. These effects are presented on the right of the workspace in tabbed form, these tabs, "Drawing","Painting","Photo","Graphic Arts","Antique Photo","Special Effects" and"Building Blocks" in turn open up a plethora of filters that can be dragged onto the image in the workspace to be then rendered onto said image, with many of the effects having various adjustment options, when selected, under the "Properties and Preview" tab.

Unfortunately i cannot comment on the speed of the rendering, as i test these programs within virtual machines, which tend to have lesser graphic abilities and are somewhat slower than the guest system and therefore the rendering was somewhat slow for me, however the effects were quite good and you can vary transparency and blending modes for each layer which adds to the variety of finished effects when flattened to combine all into 1 final image.

Postworkshop Artist Edition is a nice piece of software that will not replace Photoshop in the hands of a digital maestro, but for the rest of us it is a quick and easy way to create nice digital effects without the headaches of learning a high end manipulation software.

Pros;
A easy to use way of applying digital effects to images.
Excellent website with plenty of resources.
Available for Windows and Mac.
3 parallel installs allowed per license.

Cons;
Online help only.
Fussy download method.

Note: The above comments are purely personal and subjective and other users experiences may differ.

Please count me in for this excellent giveaway thankyou.

I know your wonderful art program from free version and it is really crazy comfortable and creative thing, as to me. I am going to start and make new photo art project in the local Ukrainian art gallery in my town and will be glad to declare you as a tech sponsor in it, if you will present me a legal copy of your great program. It is an honest offer.

Hi!
Never tried it before but,to be honest it sounds really good!!
Thanks for the great giveaway I humbly try my luck! :)

Please give me this software

Hi Ionut Ilascu, thanks for this review & many thanks to the hungarian engineers of Xycod. I've actually tested free Basic edition the other day and this nice offer did not go unnoticed, PostworkShop is nice & pleasant & definitely very easy using and the interface is easy to understand. I'm not perfectly skilled with Photoshop and the alikes and certanly out of my financial range. Therefore this is just perfect and best of all.. PostworkShop is much fun to use for postprocessing.

I need a drawing program badly, since i finally have a pc that can run it. This is probably not a very crafty or creative comment, but i swear.. i am.. rather creative when it comes to anything else than typing! Anyway i'm a poor student, the 60 quid i have a month is spent on food :( Oh also.. that alice madness game, is there a pc version of it?
Love meee

thanks for organizing this wonderful giveaway....its my passion to paint, design... to fulfill this potoworkship artist edition can be my good partner..i would be glad if you will provide me one license key....thanks once again..
best regrades,

Looks great! I want it!

This program appears to be just what I need to get to the next level in my digital artwork. The emphasis on blending layers makes me think they will provide more creative ways to do that. I'm currently using Photo Plus 9 from Serif, like it a lot, but its system of layers and masks is sometimes difficult for me to grasp and control. Please count me in for the contest; I'm looking forward to using PostworkShop Artist Edition!

With one simple click you can transform your photo, 2D image or 3D Render into an oil painting or watercolor, pastel drawing or pencil sketch, abstract or old-time photograph. Each PostworkShop edition includes all the built-in styles. More than 300 different results with a single click...
Choose a first style from the Style browser and apply it to your image. Then, insert as many other styles as you want! Mix styles and bLend them to create complex Artistic Effects that you can save as new styles for future use or share with others!


Great software!!

What a wonderful software for designing and also imaging pictures.

I use PostworkShop Basic and I must say that I really impress. I already at ease with some function in editing photos. Although some function is available in Artist Edition, I really count on PostworkShop and its been great if I win one to robust my task in editing for my personal site.

To begin with, what with the weight of a 61 MB installation program was literally a few seconds. Immediately creates a good impression of a well-written code. At the first start the program offers you a very comfortable, easily adjustable and very nice interface. You do not need to be a designer with great experience, that to understand the scheme of the program. All well and very clear.
Uploaded a picture, find and apply the desired effect. In the properties adjust all the settings as you would like.
That is, we bring your masterpiece to the graphic works of art. The program is able to perfectly mix the layers.
Experimentation with several styles may lead to the creation of your own style. This gives you an almost endless potential possibilities of the program, always ready to fulfill your graphic fantasies into reality. Very entertaining and useful program. For all its power the program uses only 141 MB of RAM. This once again confirms that the code is really well written. It is clearly seen that the program is written with love for their work, not just for that would make money.
I regret that earlier had not heard about this amazing and talented program.
Thanks Softpedia for another really great giveaway and thanks Xycod Informatikai Kft for really great software!!! THANKS!

Thank you Softpedia and Postworkshop for the Postworkshop Artist Edition licenses giveaway.

I always wanted a to try my hands on a simple photo painting software and Postworkshop seems to have all the requirements as it offers plenty of drawing and painting styles as per our needs.I really love the Digital Photo Manipulation feature which can get my creative side flowing to make something look even more artistic and appealing.
Overall Postworkshop Artist Edition looks good and easy to use for home users like me to make unique art styles and images with specific and specialized effects that can be used anywhere and shared with anyone.

i have basic version now, but i want to try what's the different b/t artist &basic

Excelente software, para los amantes de la manipulacion digital de fotografias.

I always wonder.. why I always fail in getting lucky draws LOL... I dont have any problem in trying agan.. b/w I did like to have the license.. :)

Thank you for the Giveaway Sir. Please count me in too.

Please count me in,I've had a look at this software and it's wonderful.

This is a wonderful program that I really want to embrace for I've done the research and found it to be awesome. Please count me in the giveaway.

User-friendly and know a lot about,like practical! Thank you Softpedia, good program!

PostworkShop does a good job replicating real artistic looks, such as watercolor, pen and ink, etching, and painting. The program follow the contours of objects in the photo and takes it into consideration. combine different styles in layers and use the same type of blending and layer opacity options that you find in Photoshop. PostworkShop's Batch Processing is great and this will show the same effect will work on other similar images. You can save and reuse your custom styles with the Artist Edition. PostworkShop is also a lot more capable particularly as regards masks and a painting-by-hand feature. Take your vision to the next level.

i like to try this .....maybe i will use it as new art on my desktop

A simple, yet very useful tool for creating professional artistic images. I really liked the demo and I'm looking forward to win one of this licenses :). There are many other similar programs available on the internet but this one looks much simplier than other freely available tools, it also has more advanced features. Besides, you don't need photoshop anymore (at least I do not) if I use this program.

Digital photos and editing really makes our life simpler, we just have to get the right tools for it, and we can let our imaginations fly...

Softpedia, I really like your giveaway campaign.

Very good program. Recommend.

WoW PostworkShop Is Excellent

I have heard only the best about this program and I want to take part. Thank you and regards.

Great software thanks,

If you have liked what you have seen some 'professional' do with photos - artistic effects and the like - and have wondered how cool it would be to do that kind of thing, you have probably thought about Adobe Photoshop. Great program, but Adobe expects two things: too much money and too much knowledge! While powerful, Photoshop is a beast to really get good at.
Enter PostWorkShop. This simple, but very powerful software brings you literally hundreds of cool, artistic, weird and even ugly effects, if that's your fancy. Not only can you instantly apply any of these effect in just a few mouse clicks, but if you don't find what you like, you can create your own! How cool is that?
The interface is very pleasant-looking and nicely laid out. Help is available to get you started (although it's online, a trend I wish would stop), and in very little time you get get some of the most professional looking effects I have ever seen from something costing far less than half your mortgage payment!
Creating your own effects is both easy and fun, and it's just a matter of dragging and dropping modules to combine effect types.
The great thing is, if you happen to be ugly (like I am), you can do some artsy stuff to photos of yourself and come off as being very cool!
Awsome, fun and very useful program.

PostworkShop gives you very impressive results very quickly.
even novice amateurs will be able to use the software to create stunning, eye-catching images from a simple guided interface, also offers several options for saving the actual image files – including standard JPEG and PNG formats as well as the Photoshop native PSD option.PostworkShop Pro is a good value for the money, especially considering its high compatibility factor.
The Pro Edition allows you to create your own styles from scratch and even publish them commercially.

i would like this program because i am interesting to known all the world of photoshop and it sounds very good the editor s pick and i believe that softpedia doesnt lie i am sure of that so give me a try of this great product and later i am recomending to all my friends!
thanks a lot.

No se escribir en inglés y lo siento pero si sé de este progrma y me haria tanta falta tenerlo para realizar mi trabajo. Gracias.

try it this new software for me.

simply best... a low cost and better performance it can beat adobe photo shop for sure... thanks please give to me one license.. i am crazy about this image editing software.

When i was kid i was very fascinated by art and painting, I try to participate in every art competition. I dont know why art, painting fascinate me. But i love it. when i grow to collage age. I try to find various painting on internet, Try my brush stroke like that, i made some painting, my friends appreciate it. I tried my best to keep my fascination though i was in commerce education. At present i am doing a Accounting Job, and i find artist in me left my hand somewhere in my job life race.

I find your giveaway and something just blink in me, honestly i never used the Postworkshop. I read about its features on your site, it have features like 2d, 3d effects, oil painting, pencil sketch, various styles. it is useful for any artist.

Thanks Softpedia.

A PHOTO-ARTIST / PHOTO-LOVER CANNOT SATISFY HIMSELF MERELY BY REPRODUCING THE CAMERA IMAGES AND TOUCHING THEM HERE AND THERE WITH PHOTOSHOP.
AS THE TITLE GOES, SOFTWARE POSTWORK SHOP ARTIST EDITION PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK DEEPER IN TO PHOTO-ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO ENHANCE AND ENRICH THEM FURTHER TO THE PERFACTNESS.

I'm a avid drawer and painter who used to draw and paint many pictures from wherever I get inspired from.With PostworkShop I can sure practice a lot of painting style options according to my free will and use it as many times as possible.PostworkShop's 400+ built-in art styles can bring me ease to paint different kinds of amateur masterpieces with different graphics,layers and effects without any complexity and I could feel myself like a artist.

Thanks a lot Softpedia and PostworkShop for bringing this nice giveaway for us users.

hello Team Softpedia, thanks for organizing this wonderful giveaway....

I am not a professional artist, but i spend my most of the free time in experimenting and creating new stuff ... Photoshop is one of my Favorited software... i used PostworkShop Artist demo for 3 days.. not very impressive... very restrictive use... but i like its bitmap editor... most of the fictions are easy to use and very productive... the thing that impressed me the most is the huge range of styles... style thumbnail feature is also very impressive and helpful... watermark and signature options makes it more easy and time saver....

last words: Yes, i overall like PostworkShop Artist and want a free full version licence...

Thank you Team Softpedia and team Xycod...for giving a chance to all Softpedia users to win a free licence of PostworkShop Artist...

best wishes for future developments....

Sahil Waste

Looks like very nice software!
I would really like to get one of the licenses :-)

I work with pictures a lot so this would work well!!

A fantastic program from the softpedia giveaway.

I am very much impressed with this program as no other program which i have seen offers 400+ styles plus additional downloadable ones, plus we can also create our own using the editor. Their webpage below shows their awesome collection of styles which they offer for postworkshop.
http://www.postworkshop.net/style-samples

It is simply mind blending and perfect. The styles really make our photos look like a painting. It is not surprising that this program is #2 in the painting software review. It offers all the features for a reasonable price.

It offers features to auto paint, manual paint, customize brushes, layering, and offers an arsenal of brush types to truly be artistic. We can also add watermarks.

Their support is also equivalently good. They offer a separate webpage for tutorial.
http://postworkshop.net/tutorial.

So this program is very easy to use, and can be used even by beginners.

So another marvelous program from softpedia as usual. Sure be happy if i were one of those lucky winners.

Looks cool. Don't have any image editors so this would be a nice gift

happy birth day
