## What it does

Watercolor Portrait repaints your photo as a loose watercolor on textured paper, with soft washes, blooms and bare paper at the edges.

## From our test

I used an older woman in a straw hat in a flower garden. My first attempt only softened the photo, so I moved it to the stronger engine. The second was clearly a painting: loose flower washes, white paper around the edges, her hat and face kept, in 72 seconds.

## Tips

- Portraits in natural light paint most beautifully.
- Flowers and greenery give the loosest, prettiest washes.
- Print it on textured paper for the most convincing look.

- A framed gift for a parent or grandparent.
- Wedding or anniversary keepsakes.
- Illustrated invitations.
