Brilliant tutorial thanks. Have slowed the speed down to 0.5, have a listen it sounds like you've had 10 pints 🙂

[@lukascook8477]

Dude, this tutorial is out of this world! Particularly the last step where you show us how to apply the same affect to any other image with just one click! Thank you.

[@originallifeclothing4038]

Is the a way to save the effects and when you create a new size canvas import these layers so you dont have to keep adding all the filters each time??

[@Cartoon_kahaniyan645]

[@joshuaosoriobearriver6815]

Thank you so much.

[@mehmetgul5302]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! ❤

[@Lu-Heringer-Illustrations]

Amazing effect! Love it! Unfortunately, my card is (probably) older than 5 years and the oil paint filter, as well the 'use openCL' are grayed... I just can't use them :( Would you have another way to mimic the oil paint effect in this tutorial? Maybe gaussian blur or something? Thank you for the video!

[@Pixivu]

Instead of the oil paint step apply Filter>Stylize>Diffuse>Anisotropic + Filte>Blur>Surface Blur>20,10. it will give you a good result but not the same as the oil paint filter.

[@hkparkbarr7675]

Love the effect, fantastic ~ thank you so much!

[@mgharbahtalmout1649]

Great video! This was very informative and provided not only a technique but also a way to automate it for other images. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@paulakesselringdesigns]

LOVE this effect! 💙💙💙Thanks! But it doesn't work so well with people's faces...how can I apply it to people's pics to make it less blurry and more watercolor realistic faces?💯💯💯

[@diegobarrios1090]

love this tut, thanks!!!!!

[@melissacann2058]

This was a great tutorial. Your presentation was the only one I have really been able to follow and get results. TY. Can I have a transparent boarder? If so, how can I achieve that effect?

[@artigotale]

I love your video’s and I love you

[@nazmulhasan2391]

All of your videos are really nice! fantastic! Please provide us a tutorial about background remove of various photos! Tell us all the tricky ticks of awesome methods! Off and on we cant remove or don't know the way to remove some difficult photo's background! Hope that you will make it easy for us!

[@sanjaymehta9253]

[@grimbofox]

Thank you very much!

[@shemapicture2058]

Superb.....luv this. Thanks.

[@Waumalu]

Thank you for this, again beautiful, effect. Keep on creating.

[@daybreakchurchhawaii]

This is so helpful! Everything worked for me except the CTRL + S part - I am stumped. Anyway to find out how to update the smart object without those keywords?

[@grimbofox]

Thank you!

[@SteveDavison777]

I may have missed it but did you explain why you added the white mask to the initial image?

[@samibayu100]

I really like the tutorial thank u please would you can send me link for the textures you use in the tutorial

[@Pixivu]

Hello Sami, It's free in the description below the video

[@ClaudiaDusi]

Hi! This works wonders, thank you so much!! Is there a way to recreate in Affinity Photo? Great job! Keep up!

[@pykejohnson2215]

I loved the tutorial - very comprehensive. I was unable to find the links to the border and texture templates. Is it possible for you to provide those? Thanks very much, I will keep watching your tutorials.

[@CreativeCanvasCC]

Awesome, thanks for the sharing

[@cyb3rdragon]

Thanks bro!!

[@Pixivu]

[@horastimika3882]

I love it much friend.

[@Pixivu]

Thanks! 🙏

[@cbdremedy7416]

This tutorial is great and easy to follow. I followed it to a t. I only have one question. How do you change the canvas size to fit the size of a picture if the pic is not the same ratio as the canvas and watercolor filter?

[@lifthulidah9040]

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH T.T

[@talkintoyourself6289]

This was amazing. But after I save the file as Psd and reopen it. The magic is gone and I can no longer create awesome watercolor files . What’s going on ? Why is smart object NOT updating after file save

[@ensuhendar3220]

amazing.. thanks bro

[@Pixivu]

Much welcome. Glad you liked it!

[@LisaCole-sf8by]

Love this! Where do you find the watercolor effect image?

[@titanofsaturn6234]

It's wonderful, but I'm getting pixelated edges after applying this effect. Can someone know how to fix this?

[@suninfog]

Very nice, thank you 💒🌟👍

[@gregc7535]

I love this watercolor effect. Thanks for sharing this. Does anyone have any hints for printing? I printed a couple of my photos with this effect but it looks much less pronounced on the print. Stepping back a few feet and it looks like a regular print. Any thoughts?

[@doubt_]

What paper are you printing on? Also, have you adjusted the image for CMYK printing? If you want the effect to be more pronounced, I recommend playing around with colors to have a more stylized image. This can be done by adding a Gradient Map adjustment layer and playing around with its blending mode, color grading and opacity.

[@AZ-fv5ki]

chapeau bas 🎩 you're a genius

[@Pixivu]

Thanks mate!

[@talkintoyourself6289]

This was amazing. But after I save the file as Psd and reopen it. The magic is gone and I can no longer create awesome watercolor files . What’s going on ?

[@besha2493]

Super bien explicado! mil gracias!

[@ameliarichards3971]

Awesome video, Thank you so much! One of my images, the faces become really hard to tell it's the person, which steps would I need to adjust the opacity so that faces are more define?

[@Pixivu]

Just increase the image size by 500px or 1000.

[@imcurtispenner]

My finished product just doesn't look like this. The Dry Brush filter creates a weird pattern of squares across my image. Not sure if my image size has anything to do with it. I'm working with a 5000x5000 image. The effect you achieve in your video is amazing. Thank you for creating the tutorial.

[@masah89]

thank you

[@shenuwallpaper]

Can print the RGB color mode?

[@jeanfortes3625]

Wow, I made it hehe

[@user-kl7yw3hn9s]

If you zoom in you can see pixel boxes unfortunately

[@empireofhypertrophy]

Good channel

[@Pixivu]

Thanks!

[@Queenweezy]

Does this work with older photoshop versions?

[@susandewenter8747]

Great tutorial, thanks very much. How do you create the "watercolor texture.png?" I would like to have one that is larger. I tried enlarging the one I downloaded from the description and resized it, but it caused something strange to happen to the colors. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial. It is exactly what I was looking for.

[@Pixivu]

I made it using some free brushes and texture images.

[@gaiaimages854]

I'm confused how to i get the oil paint filter pleade Am I correct in saying that you create it yourself

[@kunjalsolanki9221]

Which photoshop it is for working same like this ?

[@3DMOVIES4YOU]

Which PS do I need to have in order to do this the way that you do ?

[@razaulkarim7323]

can i use the textures commercially?

[@Pixivu]

Yes go a head but don't re-sell them individually!

[@aldyfilem]

i have download you video, thanks pixivu

[@EmilyWard1995]

Is there a way to save the final effect in a file so you don’t have to do each step every time on a new picture?

[@Pixivu]

After finishing the effect go to File > Save As, and save your file as PSD for any future use

[@inthecure]

I assume the 3000x2000 resolution isn't mandatory? Can I change it to a 16:9 resolution of comparable size or will that mess with the process?

[@Pixivu]

Yes change it and keep it in the range of 2000 to 4000 px, don't do for example 700px, as in this case, you'll get a very bad result.

[@sanjaymehta9253]

@anavrin then you will have do it manually every time you you use different size.

[@michaelstele5871]

If I want to resize the image size to, say, 8 x 10 300 DPI how can I do that so that when I Place Embedded, it will adjust properly. OR is there a way I can copy the "Effects" (i.e., the Smart Filters - unsharp mask, filter gallery, oil paint etc) and paste them onto another image? I've been trying to figure these two questions out and I'm about to go batty.

[@sanjaymehta9253]

What? Lmao

[@sanjaymehta9253]

Just manually adjust it, not hard instead of using your hand on comment section, just use it on photoshop.

[@Rashmigraphics]

great effect,,,, 1:24 - facing this problem, Overlay option not Working (not highlight) PLZ Help

[@ShankaraNarayanan0106]

You need to make the project 8 bit (as in 0:38)

Hi. oil painting is not active for me. what can I do?

[@sanjaymehta9253]

Reinstall

[@mamilianna]

i want to do it on a photo with transparent background. how will I do it?

[@Pixivu]

Just follow the tutorial and @1:28 before making a smart object, right-click the texture layer and choose create a clipping mask. This way the texture will be applied only on the visible pixels of your photo.

[@marymartindale996]

When I try to replace an image I can't do it. I tried your way and it doesn't work.

[@Pixivu]

Sorry to hear that! What is the error please?
