AFAIK most casinos do not allow photography. Mohegan Sun does,
within limits. You may not go on the casino floor, but must stand
behind a low rail. The restriction doesn't seem to unduly hinder
photo ops.

Homage to Vincent?


My thoughts too. I liked it.

So did I. I'm quite fond of the impressionists. Northern renaissance too,
not so much the southern.

I have used these programs from time to time to get impressionist effects.

Topaz Impressions: Very slow, and not as much control or variety of
preset as the Corel products. Company support is decent.

Corel Painter Essentials: It is very fast compared to the other two
products. You can paint over the photograph either automatically, or by
hand using a Wacom tablet, or do some in automatic mode and finish by
hand. I have not needed support groups, as the help files are adequate
for my needs. I have not yet run into things that I wanted to do that I
needed Painter for.

Corel Painter: Same as above, but far more flexible. I use an older
version of Painter, which is almost as slow as Topaz Impressions.
Company support sucks, but there are some neat and cooperative user
support groups. See, e.g. Painter Factory.
