The good folks at Topaz Labs have just released a new version of their Impression application.  Impression applies painterly and artistic looks to images.  It operates as a standalone or as a plugin.  Owners of version one, can get version two at no cost.  New customers can take advantage of a promotion providing a $40 USD savings here.

I very much like what Topaz Impression can do.  I don't use the tool a great deal but when I want it, it always delivers
