Create a Watercolor Painting

Snagit Editors color transparency option allows you to create watercolor-style paintings by washing colors over the canvas in layers, working from very light to dark – just as you would if you were actually painting.

Stacked
Create an Image with a Layered or Stacked Look

Creating an image that appears to have a series of layered or stacked images in it is a good way to showcase a Web site, an application, photos, or a series of screens within a process.

Mirrored image

A mirrored or reflective image is a great way to display a Web site page, the user interface of an application, or a photograph.

Lomo Style Graphic
Create a Dramatic, Lomo Style Graphic

Lomography images are characterized by surreal, dramatic saturations of color and a slightly blurry feel. A Lomo style graphic creates visually interesting works of art from otherwise common or ordinary photographs. This tutorial will teach you how to use Snagit Editor to create a lomography-style image from a photograph.

Black and White Line Art
Create Black and White Line Art from a Photograph

Creating line art from a photograph removes all of the color and some of the details from the image leaving just a pen and ink style outline of the image. Why would you want to do that? Well, you can use line art images for watermarks, logos, Snagit stamps, and more. Below you will see a photo changed into a line art image along with some examples of how you might use line art.
