Best tutorial on KZbin I just wasted an hour on all these KZbin videos and I could’ve clicked on this one first and finish so fast!! My school project done because of you thank you!!!

[@suz8785]

Excellent thank you

[@ishitaswaroop8779]

youre an actual legend

[@sandeeppatel1580]

Great tutorial

[@DeltadronesBr]

Awesome!

[@sunnyboateng180]

Well done

[@MrJeffinLodi]

This is kind of a back-handed compliment. I really like what you did, but the photo already looked so much like a painting, there wasn't much of a change, or dramatic affect. Thanks for the information.

[@vicentecanonserrano886]

Me ha gustado mucho. Tanto que he hecho una acción. Saludos desde España, y muchas gracias.

[@pollplace1]

[@TrentYoung]

I understand it is over 2 years old... however, brilliant. I thank you for all the efforts you put out for us!

[@mengzaa55]

thank you. great tutorial. Do you have a tutorial for water painting?

[@EDDIEGARAGE]

Hi, you guys always recomend us to use kyeboard short cuts which is very easy CMD + J to copy a new layer drag and drop is more difult, cheers

[@sadhubhaktinandandas3145]

Dear friend, thank you so much for providing such a wonderful tutorial. I'll really appreciate if you could share a portrait photo into an oil painting effect tutorial.

[@alanm.6096]

Question Colin: in order to get to the Filter Gallery, you have to ensure the image is RGB 8 bit. Does that mean the quality would be diminished if you change from 16 to 8 bit and wish to print the image?

[@janetnirenberg427]

Very good tutorial. A question. Is there any type of printing that will give more of the look of a paimting (e.g. inkjet vs.lazer)

[@MsMonica1957]

Awesome! Do you know if there’s equivalent software for photoshop on iPad? I have it on my PC, but it’s such a pain firing up the laptop😜. Thanks for your video😊

[@tsvetinagrigorova1198]

Thanks!

[@photoshopcafe]

Welcome!

[@danielzrihen4476]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@photoshopcafe]

cheers

[@armee260]

A real informative video, Can you please let me know which Photoshop version are you using in this video. I am not getting oil paint filter in my CS5. Please advise.

[@viv10549]

great presentation, thank you. However, I have PS Element 2021. How can I achieve that effect, I love it. thank you

[@georgecook6279]

Great vid thanks! I often use the various on canvas printing services for my pictures. If you have tried printing on canvas would you still add the canvas texture in the print or would you skip that step and just give the painting modifications?

[@photoshopcafe]

If I were printing on canvas, I wouldn't add the canvas texture in Photoshop.

[@bes4802]

Nice technique. I dont knw y all this while i dint try by uncheckin light. Thank u for the tip. Pls do one tutorial for watercolor also (with splashes n smudges)

[@photoshopcafe]

noted

[@RazvanCosti]

same here. I believe the unchecking was due to the nature of photoshop buttons and icons: while fabulous ideas for design purposes, really poor (often) inspiration on how to name/represent different functions so they are more intuitive for the user

[@nealjorgensen1612]

I enjoyed your video, however I have one problem when I tried to add the oil paint filter to the first copy layer it seemed to have no effect. The filter worked on the second copy, but not the first. everything else seemed to go well.

[@robcandis3228]

Help! All was going, as I worked on my image, until 7:37 and my "Filter Gallery" button was grayed out. I couldn't continue giving my image the canvas look. Any ideas???

[@chatisawasteoftime]

Will this work if the original image is pixelated due to transformation/resampling?

[@jannafil5120]

Thank you for the tutorial. What paper would you advice to print this type of stylised picture on? Glossy, matt ...?

[@timphillips3873]

I'd skip the canvas layer step and print right on canvas.

[@imprintedmind4487]

Why in mt PS 2022, filter gallery not active while covering an image in oil paint on canvas? But in a few occasions, I found active filter gallery. I shall appreciate for your tips.

[@Towl35]

I would have added a mask on the texture layer as when I paint using traditional media, the canvas doesn't show uniformly across the work.

[@longnguyen-qg1sm]

Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$

[@galesaunders4120]

my filter gallery is greyed out and says currently unavailable....any ideas why? do you group the layers together when you finish?

[@charlesdup6803]

Hi Colin, enjoyed the tutorial. My oil paint remains grayed out after performing the preferences change that you indicated. Any other changes I might need to make to have it gray out?

[@Towl35]

Exit PS then restart. That should make any preference changes take effect.

[@videoman4424]

Now can you show this in a normal Photoshop program, like CS5 are CS6 ?

[@ThorinOakenshieldGSD2023]

What are the issues if the intent is to convert a photo to oil paint, and then print it on canvas? Should effects be left out?

[@loris45]

could you do a tutorial on Image, size, and what is best for resolution and pixel vs. inches? so as to not to loose integrity of photo

[@deceptionz187]

Try always working in 300dpi :)

[@BoriquahAfrikanah]

It's not letting me change the Graphics Processor Settings so that I can do the oil paint feature

[@delosreyesjj]

Hi Colin! I was wondering: if I'm planning on printing my photo on a canvas, is the the canvas filter step necessary?

[@photoshopcafe]

No, I wouldn’t use the filter

[@ponymoore6140]

My "Use Graphics Processor" is greyed out. So too, the advanced box underneath. Help!

[@tonycampbell6529]

Great tutorial but I would also like to see the way to apply these settings to another photo without having to go through all the steps again.

[@Kevieb0y]

Trying to figure out your accent - are you half Aussie half American, or an Aussie that's been living in the US for a long time? Love your videos by the way!

[@photoshopcafe]

Kiwi in LA :)

[@Kevieb0y]

photoshopCAFE Cool mate. I especially enjoy your drone videos, being a Mavic Pro owner myself with a budding Drone Service business. Keep up the good work mate 👍

[@alanm.6096]

I have enjoyed the oil paint application, but the use of multiple layers increases the creativity. One thing to watch is the use of this with people. When you do use it, try using a layer mask as a means of removing/reducing the effect from eyes and lips & teeth. Could Colin provide a portrait application??

[@JakeWalksAmerica]

Very cool, but what is the point of this? Is this for creating mock-ups or do you actually print it like this? Would like to see what this would like like printed on a canvas lol

[@mr.fawkes5015]

Nice one Shrek

[@hollygoode-smith4474]

I have all the power.

[@BenjaminRound]

Then convert to cmyk.

[@josecolon8143]

Why is the filter gallery grey. (9:58) I’ve already did the preferences step

[@jedsithor]

You need to be working in 8 bit mode. You're probably working in 16 bit. Go to Image > Mode and change it to 8. Filter gallery should be visible then.

[@joejoe570]

How to make Medieval buildings?

[@jackreckitt5162]

Ditto on the last comment, Watercolor.

[@markdemarte6744]

Great Tutorial. But I mostly shoot beautiful young women's portraits. Can you please do another tutorial focusing on turning a portrait of a young woman onto an oil painting?

[@briannarveson7574]

This was great. However, real oil painters use their fingers and some sort of spatula to smear the paint to create effects. I would be great if you could show us how to do that in PS. The technique is used a lot on skies.

[@DecodingDoom]

You are clearly using an image with the color/style/resolution that works with the oil paint filter, but not all images are like that. It would be nice if you broke down how you selected an example image.

[@john-bjorn]

What if the "Filter Gallery" is gray-marked?

[@john-bjorn]

Found the solution, the image had to be in 8-bit/channel (found under the "Image" meny).

[@egritzmacher1]

@@john-bjorn Thank you for this!

[@markybichony557]

I knew that good old Georges W Bush was somewhere busy being an artist with a KZbin channe to top it off. The guys is better off that setting useless wars ! Just kidding, love your tutorials. Thank you.

[@epicesp9204]

YOUR INTRO CUT YOU OFF SO BAD XD

[@hollypotts721]

EpicESP Your loss

[@stepbystepguide7817]

YOU FAILED TO INDICATE WHAT VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP YOU ARE USING!! HOPEFULLY YOU STILL FOLLOW COMMENTS UNLIKE MOST OTHERS WHO STOP AFTER A FEW WEEKS OR NOT AT ALL.

[@photoshopcafe]

I try to keep up with comments. All my tutorials are Photoshop CC. At the time of publishing they are always the newest version of PS available. Often if they can be done on earlier versions I mention that, if not on the video, on the written component. *Yes, most of my videos also have written instructions at PhotoshopCAFE.com)

[@koaoi9172]

he looks like george bush
