Beyond faux-paint filters there are other effects that sometimes serves to make a photo more immediately compelling by eliminating distracting detail while retaining the basic shapes, fields and contours that give the eye something fundamental to capture. Clearly, these effects do not work with every photo and some might argue they have no creditability at all. I guess you need to have a more playful and exuberant temperament to appreciate this when it works at all. It certainly has purchase when the image has strong geometric shape or broad fields.
