Cant find anything on google,  please can someone point me in the right direction I have the following version of Corel Painter Essentials 6, I have selected a photo I would like to add an auto paint filter to,  however,  I have uploaded the photo  (has a white background)  it is a (png file) everytime I select the preset style in auto paint and press start, I see the ticking watch, but once all is complete,  I see absoloutely no changes whatsoever,  trying to give it a water color paint effect (the option I selected and have tried others, restarted the program  - 'detailed watercolor' option ,  which is one of the options, but the image does not change at all after pressing start and waiting for the change to happen...what am I doing wrong?
