It will be possible to change entire segments of materials &#8211; for example, to make a winter field with snow instead of a summer field covered with grass. Various stylistic filters will also be available. The finished picture can be saved in PSD format for later editing in Photoshop.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container rmp-wp-plugin rmp-main-container js-rmp-widgets-container js-rmp-widgets-container--133060 \"        data-post-id=\"133060\">        <!-- Rating widget -->    <div class=\"rmp-rating-widget js-rmp-rating-widget\" role=\"group\" aria-labelledby=\"rmp-title-133060\">                    <p class=\"rmp-heading rmp-heading--title\" id=\"rmp-title-133060\">                Rate this product            <\/p>                        <div class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons\">            <ul class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list js-rmp-rating-icons-list\" role=\"radiogroup\" aria-label=\"Rating from 1 to 5\">                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Not at all useful\"                            data-value=\"1\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"1 out of 5: Not at all useful\"                            tabindex=\"0\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Somewhat useful\"                            data-value=\"2\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"2 out of 5: Somewhat useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Useful\"                            data-value=\"3\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"3 out of 5: Useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Fairly useful\"                            data-value=\"4\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"4 out of 5: Fairly useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Very useful\"                            data-value=\"5\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"5 out of 5: Very useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                            <\/ul>        <\/div>        <p class=\"rmp-rating-widget__hover-text js-rmp-hover-text\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>                <button class=\"rmp-rating-widget__submit-btn rmp-btn js-submit-rating-btn\">            Submit Rating        <\/button>        <div aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\">            <p class=\"rmp-rating-widget__results js-rmp-results rmp-rating-widget__results--hidden\">                Average rating <span class=\"rmp-rating-widget__results__rating js-rmp-avg-rating\">0<\/span> \/ 5.
