Easily the best "Blend-If" explanation and demonstration there is. Adobe, can you hear me? Great job.

[@kvazimodo2642]

My same exact thoughts. There's a lot of pretty good explanations of it on YT but this is on a whole another level.

[@schultzeworks]

Posterize is a word derived from poster, like the print on your wall. Both ‘o’ letters are pronounced the same.

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

Thanks, that was driving me crazy. Otherwise great tutorial.

[@Jameshhl]

Great tutorial, I've learn something new. But just a question, when I reach the blend-if stage of the process, wouldn't it be easier to just import image to illustrator and trace image?

[@intentionally-blank]

Great blend-if explanation itself. Thanks! *subscribed*

Thank you very much! This is so underratted. I tried another top search result tutorial but it gives me very bad results, sometimes there is gap between each layers of black, grey and white.

I've been posterizing, but not oil painting. Genius.

[@byDavidArriaga]

awesome video, thank you! I want to join the patreon to download the premium action, but before I do - does anyone know if the premium action is compatible with the latest version of Photoshop?

[@CyberSmudger]

I think Pixivu demonstrated Blend If so well in this video.

[@Pixivu]

Thanks! glad to hear that!

[@sharkseye9]

Great tutorial but one thing...I don't know who got through the Action macro you used to run. I missed where you stated how to Convert Color Fill 1-6 to single layer thumbnail or which objects are needed to create our own Action Run for the Color Fills. I could never get my various layers to work.

[@DBO3671]

Unreal skills!! Thanks for sharing.

[@FotoliveDK]

thanx :)

[@davo-ju6er]

can we do a simple version of this in Procreate ? picking how many colors the image is made up of ?

[@graphiccorner-bl7sz]

nice

[@marilynisaacs7739]

Hi! I had a bit of a problem with your Action. When I ran it, after the first Blend If and color selection (white) was completed, I hit OK...but a message came up saying: the command "Delete" is not currently available. Below it was "Stop" and "Continue". I tried this several times, and it never worked. Ultimately, I imported my image into Illustrator, did a 6-color Trace and Expand, and that's how I completed my project. Can you please let me know where I went wrong? Prior to this, your directions were fantastic - on target...until I tried vectorizing with the Action.

[@floresarts]

I learned something new today. I always thought it was pronounced POE-sterize because originally posters were printed by pressing inked wooden blocks of letters or engravings onto paper. Each additional ink color on a poster required another pass through the printing press so you'd make your art just a few bold colors to save time and money.

[@sheriewelsford]

I would imagine you could do the same creating color layers instead of b&w. I am assuming though, it is much more difficult (?) Anyways, great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@Pixivu]

You can create a colorful vector using this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-0k4Svi86ghK8si=KSdHOmJI181usKDJ

[@sakreth1113]

Does it work with simple black and white raster logos? Because Make Path is really inaccurate, it just creates something which snaps or not on the original lines.

[@thelastwin]

Is there a work around if you don’t have the oil paint filter?

[@TheHazelip]

I would love to see this same effect done with color. I'm playing around with it now, and I'm close, but I just can't quite seem to figure it out to pull off one of those Illustrator-looking vector portrait styles.

[@Pixivu]

here is a tutorial for what you want: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-0k4Svi86ghK8

[@TheHazelip]

@@Pixivu Not really. That's a different effect/style and it's from an older version.

[@jonaskazlauskas1412]

Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I have a few questions, what's the difference between FREE/PREMIUM action? Is there a way to vectorize colorful images too? Because using saturation doesn't help, but I need to select (with action) too many colors without it. :/

[@Pixivu]

Hello and welcome! I am happy that you liked it. With the free action, you will need to create the PSD file first as explained in the tutorial. but the premium action can perform this step without requiring a PSD file. yes you can with the help of Illustrator, check this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-0k4Svi86ghK8

[@user-kk2ud9jn1e]

Hi… I’m struggling to download the blend action I have no option to export it in photoshop do I need to do this part or can you help me work it out? Thanks Sam

[@worldsedge4991]

Would you say the results are better than using Illustrator’s tools for vectorizing? (live trace) It looks like maybe it is, but it’s a lot more laborious.

[@Pixivu]

Nothing hard here I think, All you need to do is create your own PSD file as explained in the "Create the Effect" chapter. and download the free action and use it with your PSD file to easily repeat the process as described in the last chapter.

[@shahrozrazi3624]

I spend around 10 hours to make a girl vector in illustrator then I saw this video😅

[@droidfan]

I clicked cuz I thought that was Paul Davids @PaulDavids in the thumbnail... great video btw

[@Zenslav]

this is great but you could just drop the original photo into illustrator and it will do it automatically for you

[@Subuddhia]

Finally I found a way to transform image to cartoon, rather than draw pen tool all over the image

[@Pixivu]

Yes, you can start your drawings with this tutorial, and you have the option to modify the output. I’m happy you enjoyed it!

[@OtakuOrigins]

Is there a way to keep the original color?

[@hagtorn4733]

How do i change the color of it in illustrator❓
