This is another STUNNING Jixipix product.

It produces first class results from almost ANY photo and the brush textures are superb.
And, you don't need to be an expert to use it.

Thanks GAOTD team and Jixipix!

Thanks link worked ok this time.
This looks like a terrific program, defo a keeper
thanks again.

1st off, to activate you first fill in name & email address on a GOTD site using a URL in the readme.txt file. I had downloaded the GOTD ZIP file, closed the browser, & later copy/pasted that URL into Firefox, & it did not work -- I didn't get the needed form page. SO I started over, didn't close the browser after downloading, but opened a new tab & copy/pasted the URL from the readme.txt file -- that worked. I got the email right away, which contained another URL, this time to the page where you'd purchase Impresso Pro showing $0 cost. After filling in all the blanks [there's no verification of whatever data you fill in -- the form is just hard coded to require that data] the order # & key were displayed. Entering the key in the app [under the Help menu] works this time -- there have been glitches in the past with JixiPix apps -- and the menu item to enter the key goes away.

Impresso Pro 1.8.15 follows the same basic design principles as the other JixiPix apps they've been generous enough to give away, though this one is less toy-like than their Happy Holidaze for example. It works in Win11, the included plugin works in the P/Shop CC Beta, & a Lightroom template is also included. Impresso Pro uses layers -- the 2 rectangular boxes in the upper right that appear when you 1st start the app & import an image. You can turn them on/off clicking the circles [radio buttons], add/delete layers using the + & -, reset or set a new default clicking the documents icon, & adjust the sliders until you're satisfied. Unfortunately the options for saving your work are a bit sparse -- since there are no jpg quality options available you might want to save your image as a .tif file, then open that & save it to jpg in another app. That doesn't matter of course if you're using Impresso Pro as a plugin.

JixiPix apps seem to all be a bit unusual when it comes to their installation. Impresso Pro includes both 32-bit & 64-bit versions -- which one is installed depends on whether you're running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, though the 64-bit version includes both 32-bit & 64-bit plugins. Those plugins are added to C:\Program Files (x86)\ Common Files\ Adobe\ Plug-Ins\ CC\ & C:\Program Files\ Common Files\ Adobe\ Plug-Ins\ CC\ -- nowhere else. Installing Impresso Pro adds the program's folder, along with a separate folder for uninstall, and 3 folders are added to Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Roaming\. Of those 3 folders, JixiPixCommon includes a JixiPixCommon.plist file [which is editable in Notepad] -- you might want to save a copy before activating a new JixiPix app, since I've had things go a bit haywire once or twice. The other 2 are the Adobe folder that holds the Lightroom template, & the Impresso Pro folder that contains the presets. The registry gets one new key that stores whether or not you want to check for updates when 1st prompted by the app.

OK, I found I needed to complete the order and I got a new code which was accepted.

The link eventually worked.
Very good results. Even a boring photo of washing drying on a line took on a new dimension with this.
I like it and it came with photoshop plugins too.

The registration is not working for me. I would assume the license code is the 16 characters at the end of the coupon offer link. However even trying to type it in to the "Registration number" window manually doesn't work as the window won't accept a letter G. Pasting the 16 characters just results in D4B being displayed and if submitted just responds with 16 characters needed. This does not inspire one with confidence. System: Alienware M17 R3 win 10 Home.

Unlike other programs & PS plugins it's pretty fast, and with nice results. Checked with 36 Mpx photos .Definitely a keeper. Thanks!

Thanks to authors, giveawayoftheday and everybody (who has relation to receiving by us a gift) for work and getting a very creative program. May God bless with financial support too.

I love JixiPix software. I purchased the bundles a long time ago, and use them daily. Thanks JixiPix

Nice program. I will test it for a while but will probably uninstall it, as you cannot choose which hard drive you want to install it on. I hate installing anything other than my OS on my C: SSD drive

I think it's the best simple software to turn photos into paintings.

Wow, great app!
