Making a Photo Look Like an Oil Painting
No one’s proposing you start cranking out fake Rembrandts, but there’s something about brushstrokes on canvas that says high class. Try this with the family portrait and pretend you sat for a Dutch master.
- With the Editor in Full Edit mode and an image open, choose Filter, Brush Strokes, Angled Strokes.
- Adjust the Direction Balance, Stroke Length, and Sharpness sliders until you achieve a combination of settings you like.
- When you see the desired effect in the Preview window, click OK.
Choose Filter, Texture, Texturizer.
- From the Texture pop-up menu, choose Canvas.
Click OK.
