How to turn a photo into an OIL PAINTING in PHOTOSHOP

[@cirqueacrobat]

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!!!

[@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.

[@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?

[@kimborgozwidephotography6856]

Thanks Colin great tutorial .. easy to understand the detailed process.

[@TrentYoung]

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

[@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.

[@wiccanchannel6434]

i just want to thank you for this video - it was explained so clearly - you actually are the reason why i did not give up on learning photshop you are very appreciated and once again I thank you

[@diane5814]

Hello! This video might be 6 years old, but it's also 6 years young! The basics are STILL the basics! I use oil paint, but it's always too "phoney." This video was just perfect! Thank you!

[@photoshopcafe]

That is awesome!

[@romiemiller7876]

I'll have to try this!

[@chatisawasteoftime]

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

[@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??

[@ajb6643]

This one tutorial gave me so much more confidence with Photoshop. Thank you so much!!

[@revoltoff]

You're an inspiration and great mentor sir.

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks!

[@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?

[@sarahmitchell7390]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@graemetavendale3335]

Great communicator and tutor... Thanks so much.

[@ShyamSingh-tg1ic]

Excellent. Short and beautiful

[@galesaunders4120]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@ponymoore6140]

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

[@loris45]

This really helped me, I had a sunrise with a rock beach and shoreline and this technique was perfect to have it really stand out!

[@vicentecanonserrano886]

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

[@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

[@sunnyboateng180]

Well done

[@AlanMorrisGooner]

Loved this video, very easy to understand & very instructional.

[@viv10549]

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

[@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

[@denniscater4914]

Thanks Colin A great Video again.

[@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)

[@sandeeppatel1580]

Great tutorial

[@erinmeyers-t9w]

youre an actual legend

[@willeastburn5881]

Thank you. Very easy to follow and provided a powerful effect

[@BrianGilliganSelect]

Excellent video! Easy to understand, 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.

[@KamenKunchev]

Really simple and very well explained! Thank you!

[@tsvetinagrigorova1198]

Thanks!

[@photoshopcafe]

Welcome!

[@parveenbawa9877]

Thank you, it was very clear

[@pollplace1]

great job

[@mengzaa55]

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

[@Soulkreed]

This designs brilliant! Can't wait around to discover more like this. Great job.

[@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😊

[@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???

[@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.

[@DeltadronesBr]

Awesome!

[@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!

[@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 👍

[@michaelhegemeyer2827]

Great video, please do more along this line.

[@longnguyen-qg1sm]

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

[@chorvath8]

I loved this tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@videoman4424]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@rodgerschultz5159]

Another winner...Thank you!!

[@luals3775]

Thank you! Great tutorial 🙂🎨📷This is a wonderful step by step🏞 so happy with the results 🤗

[@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.

[@hodatara5464]

It was very useful! Thank you so much!

[@BoriquahAfrikanah]

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

[@chicoribeirodovale]

Great video, I enjoyed very much! Thanks

[@GamersNebula]

Amazing tutorial!! Thank you so much 😊😊

[@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?

[@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

[@chilly1956]

Brill video ...many thanks for posting

[@jimhamilton8775]

Really enjoyed this video.

[@photoshopcafe]

thanks

[@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 :)

[@tafelbergfotografieklub8589]

brilliant tutorial, that really helped me a lot

[@Maebooncuisine456]

Thank you so much for this knowledge.

[@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.

[@hollygoode-smith4474]

I have all the power.

[@jenhouse7926]

This was an awesome tutorial, thank you!!

[@danielzrihen4476]

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

[@photoshopcafe]

cheers

[@suz8785]

Excellent thank you

[@ritaophelia]

Thanks so much

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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)

[@jasminejassergeant5052]

Really help. Thank you.
