Have used Elements for 20 years, but like turning pictures into art. Have used Tpoaz and Snap 4 as add ons, or Plug-ins, but can no longer do so. Can anyone recommend any additional programmes that can be a Plug-in, I want artistic modes and frames if possible like Studio 2 Topaz, and perhpas even the dreaded Ai. If not, can you recommend any programmes as stand-alones, I particlarly likevArt Deco made from my photos? Thank you.

You might want to give the Painterly Effect Guided Edit a try. It provides a fully customizable painterly effect to an image.

In addition to the filters in Advanced mode, there are several artistic filters plus classic and color match, in the Quick Mode under the fx tab. These are mostly one-click but many have an intensity slider allowing you to tweak the effects to your own liking.

Why are the many artistic filters, frames and options available in Elements not good enough for you? And I don't understand what you mean by making Art Deco from your photos. Are you talking about frames or other graphics? Can you show us an example. Elements 2026, which I believe you have, has introduced many new frames and graphics. Have you looked at them?

I have used Plug-ins such as Studio 2 Topaz for 20 years. They have superior frames, and hundreds of arty possibilities. I am semi-pro, and have used these for weddings etc. So, brides get prints and slideshows of both arty and plain pictures, but also full copies of all the origanals, but they invariably prefer the painterly effects. So, am now looking for new plug-ins, or even AI for enhancements.

IArt deco pictures have apways been popular here in the UK. The seasi9de, railway, atlantic liners of the thirties, and pictures of New York etc are bright and cheering. I use various techniques - https://natureandpictures.com/ but am always up for new interpretations. which can add to my Elements which will always be my principal programme.
