CTRL+R resets the Detail Mask so you can create new ones. F5 still resets the Background to some default settings, but I am not quite sure how this is determined. Also the Background and Detail Masking Panels can be seen at the same time which is very helpful. The biggest change is that thumbnails are note created of your image showing all painting style variations in each artistic group – this makes it easy to choose a particular filter or effect for the image. To be honest, I do not see a whole lot of difference between the two versions except for the new interface, which looks more like Lightroom’s interface. It is definitely worth a second look if you love the painterly effects like I do.

SNAP ART REVIEW WINDOWS 10
Like the 50/50 layout above, this Snap layout is currently available in Windows 10 without the need for any special utilities. Each window takes up one-quarter of the screen.

With this layout, you can have four equal-sized windows positioned in a grid. This might be ideal for when you’re working on a primary app and you need to consult two windows for reference. With this layout, you can have one primary window taking up the left half of the screen and two smaller apps taking up equal quarters on the right side. This might be good for when you’re using three apps of equal importance on your screen at the same time. Here we see three windows taking up the maximum vertical space but divided into equal thirds horizontally. If you’re working on a primary app on the left (that takes up two-thirds of the screen) while referring to information in another window on the right (in the remaining one-third of the vertical space), this layout might come in handy.
