ParticleShop will display a warning dialog advising you not to run it on a background layer. Choose one of the Edit a Copy options and click Edit. You’ll get the standard Edit Photo dialog. To run the plug-in, select it from the Photo>Edit In menu. In other words, it’s better to buy via the plug-in. You’ll get a warning that these brushes won’t appear in the content section of the Corel Welcome screen, and to be careful not to buy the same brushes twice.

If you’ve bought brush packs directly from the shop rather than through the plug-in, install them as well. As part of the installation, the plug-in is automatically installed for all available hosts. That still doesn’t mean that I can’t have fun with my photos! ParticleShop is a great tool for just that. In fact, coming from an engineering background, you could say I’m probably exactly the opposite. Let me start by saying that I’m not an artist in the drawing or painting sense. The range of looks in these brush packs means that once you get hooked, you’ll need to get them all. Other brush packs can be purchased from within the program or directly from Corel. The app ships with a Core Pack that has a set of 11 brushes to get you going. Based on Painter, you get a pressure-sensitive experience that changes the brush under your cursor as you push harder, or even tilt your pen. This brush-based plug-in will jumpstart your interest in adding a little fantasy to your photos, as well as injecting some fun into your postprocessing. ParticleShop from Corel is a fantastic plug-in that allows you to easily create illustrative elements to blend into your photos.
