Although Painter is primarily a painting application, it does provide you with a variety of different effects you can apply to your photos. Painter might not have the hundreds of different effects you'll find in other applications, but the quality of some of these effects is unmatched even by the fanciest, most expensive programs. As with the other tools I've mentioned so far in this chapter, these effects are not reserved only for photos; you can apply them to any type of image you have created. You will find almost all of the photo effects in the Effects menu.
