Applying AI styles

---

Corel Painter offers styles and presets that use artificial intelligence to create a stylized painting from a photo. The AI styles simulate the textures, color, visual patterns, and aesthetics of the reference photo. The table below lists the styles available in the application.

 

Original	Smooth Acrylic	Linocut
Post Impressionist	Aged Print	Bold Strokes
Lava Lamp	Medium Charcoal	Gilded
Soft Pastels	Warm Mosaic	Sunset
Pastel Mosaic

For more creative freedom and experimentation, you can apply a style and then fine-tune your painting by using the settings in the A.I. Style panel. You can vary the intensity of a style by adjusting its strength, level of detail, and color matching. You can also soften the appearance of the resulting painting by smoothing out the colors and sharp details.

In addition to the default styles, Corel Painter provides a selection of presets which have been carefully curated to offer optimal results for specific image types. Depending on your image and the effect you want to achieve, you can choose one of the presets listed in the following table.

You can apply the changes to the current document or to a clone document.
