[@nishi730]

Hi. Loved this video. Quick question - I am unable to test with different photographs. Do I have to do this process with every file or can I have a master file and only change the base picture as needed.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

@@nishi730 In this specific technique, you have to use this process with every file.

[@martinburgess8243]

I would thoroughly recommend Marty for all your Photoshop tutorials. He's very clear, precise and the finished article is exactly what he has achieved. Thank you.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks for that!

[@jackieconnell1954]

as a person who is new to both photoshop and watercolour painting this tutorial is brilliant, It worked perfectly, producing exactly the type of watercolor image I wanted with my photo.and i imagine i will be doing alot more over the coming weeks. Marty You are amazing! cheers.

[@albamariedesigns]

I love this tutorial. It worked perfectly, producing exactly the type of watercolor image I wanted with the photo I had. Your presentation style is lovely. So calming and soothing.

[@malofx]

Wow, best tutorial ever. Didn't miss a SINGLE step. Thank you!

[@satsubatsu347]

Thanks Marty. Been using Photoshop since, at least, Photoshop 4 on a Power Mac. These tutorials never seem to fail to inspire something new.

The best photoshop channel I've seen and I've seen a few! Thank you

[@arkana.8914]

Tutorial with the best watercolor effect, thanks Marty..!!

[@speterlewis]

As always, Marty, this tutorial was clear, concise, and brilliant.

[@1027Paula]

great video. do you have a tutorial on how to make the brush stroke image? or how to adjust this one? ie what brushes you used to make the opening wider? thank you.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

When say, "opening", do you mean the center of the brush? If so, you can't. However, you can adjust its size, angle, rotation, and other qualities by opening Brush Settings. Open the Brush Tool and go to Window and press Shift + F5 (top of your keyboard).

[@tuliagz5329]

Hello Marty! I love your tutorials and the results for the watercolor paintings are magnificent. Can this recipe be turned into an action or script. It's not easy to remember all the steps.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Yes, you can record all the steps as an action which will automatically apply them to any photo.

Thank you for your tutorial on turning a photo into a watercolor. I tried to donate but I was not able to because I do not use Paypal. I was wondering what brushes you used to create your brush strokes mask?

[@jeeperscreepers8704]

Thanks Marty, keep up the good work... you were my source for learning photoshop when no one else was doing it on youtube... you are truly a selfless Master... thanks a lot.

[@lisaherrold4370]

Excellent tutorial, look forward to watching more.

[@רוניפינקל]

it's nice toturial I have a quesion how to change a photo with the same templete and get immidietly the watarcolor paining result?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

There are Photoshop actions out there to replicate the look of watercolor paintings, however, this method is much more nuanced and the brush strokes are specific to the photo.

[@marymartindale996]

What brush did you use to create your brush strokes image? I love that brush. If it is something that you created and have for sale I would love to buy a copy.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Unfortunately, I never noted the brush I used, however, the website I use to download most of my brushes is www.brusheezy.com.

[@marymartindale996]

[@benniethornton9895]

Marty, I really love your tutorials. Keep them coming. I'm wondering if you or any of your followers know of any tutorials to get the Norman Rockwell effect in Photoshop. I have been trying tutorials that are close, but I'm not satisfied yet.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks! I don't know of tutorials that emulate Rockwell's paintings. His work is so unique in style and substance that it's truly impossible to replicate it. It requires a mastery of illustration and a deep understanding of human gesture to evoke emotion.

[@colettedavies2976]

[@hdaddy76]

[@johnhaller4868]

Thank you so much for the refreshed tutorial. I have been waiting to do something like this. I am playing around with a B&W photo and when it came to the adjusting of vibrance (4:44) it was not available. Do you think that is because it is not a color image? Thanks again for keeping your channel fresh and full of inspiring ideas.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Since "Vibrance" and "Saturation" affect the intensity of colors, they have no effect on b & w images.

[@Mr_Archimedes]

Super! These are my beloved videos- making photos looking aged painting art.

[@stephenmcphee]

Great tutorial

[@nagamachiku8699]

Hi Marty, thank you so much for your incredible videos. My poor brain is on FIRE-I’m afraid. Now, could all of the steps in this video be done on the iOS version of the Photoshop by any chance? Thank you again.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

No. Adobe does make a mobile version of PS, but it's extremely simplified.

Amazing job Man! appreciated !!!

[@StevenBrener]

Hi Marty - great tut. I just applied it to a close in view of the GWB with the Little Red Lighthouse from the Palisades Interstate Park captured at sunset a few days ago. Did you say there was a way to swap the image out with another one and apply the effect?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Double-click any Smart Object layer to open its immediate source image. If that source image is also a Smart Object, double-click it to open ITS source image. Continue these steps until it opens the original photo. Open a different photo that you’d like to replace it with and place it above the original photo in the Layers panel. Hide the former image. Size the new image using the Transform Tool. Close the tabs of each Smart Object to replace the former image with the new image. Voila!

[@StevenBrener]

@@BLTV_Photoshop It worked...thanks!!

If your picture is being cropped off, you can increase your documents Canvas Size to accommodate the size of your image.

Hello, if I want to make a picture for a canvas in a larger image size... I only have to use a larger Aquarall template than yours? Is this all to be considered? Many thanks Ines

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Pretty much. Make your document 300 ppi and when you're adding filters, etc., increase the size amounts and settings.

[@photographiesandmore3016]

@@BLTV_Photoshop So I'll do. Best regards!

[@Aayush429]

Great tutorial. Have one doubt though. You said we should convert the image into smart object so we can replace the image later and do the whole thing again. Can anyone tell me how can i replace the image so as to not repeat the procedure again with other photos?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Double-click a Smart Object layer to open its immediate source image. If that source image is a Smart Object, as well, double-click it to open ITS source image. Continue these steps until it opens the original photo. To replace the photo, open a different photo and place it above the original photo in the Layers panel. Close the tabs of each Smart Object to replace the former image with the new image.
