How Did I Do It?  Oil Painting Effect- Really Realistic!

I'm sure I was using PS CS3 32 bit on Windows XP when I did this...
Notice in the model's hair the shiny reflections of the thick "oil" brush strokes.  I have used Eye Candy and Photo Tools before, but about all I find when I search now is pixel bender, and that doesn't come close.  Any ideas?  I would love to be able to do this again!
I'm using 12.0.4 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium.  Thanks!

There are lots of ways you might have done that.
You might google for photoshop Oil painting effect or Russell Brown has some great painting videos for cs5

  • Oil painting effect in Photoshop 7.0

    How can I emulate oil painting effect in Photoshop 7.0.1?
    I don't want to upgrade to newer versions .
    Are there alternatives? thanks.

    GIMP, Krita, PDPaint, Flamepainter and otehr freeware programs have all sorts of vector blur/ smear/ flame filters that could emulate this in one way or another...

  • Oil Paint effect to Video Timeline Clip

    Check out this video I put together for this question,
    http://youtu.be/tPiNYqk3BcQ
    As you can see I'm just playing around w/ the effect/amounts etc.
    I had to manually apply this effect at every frame in the Photoshop's Timeline, which takes a to long... I would love to do it to whole clips. What's the best workflow for that?
    A way I tried w little success before was to split the clip into individual frames, (forget how to do that) & then apply a batch command to all the pics, I remember trying this method & it not working w/ Oil Paint effect.
    Thanks for your help.

    You can apply the Filter to an imported clip in Video Timeline Animation as opposed to Frame Animation.
    But if you are trying to animate the settings of the Filter I guess you may be trying to fit a round peg in a square hole (or however that figure of speech goes) and might be better served with using the proper program for the task, possibly After Effects.

  • How can i make the smooth paint effect?

    Just see the below image. Can anyone suggest how do i get this effect using photoshop? or is there any other software through which i can attain this? I tried using HDR effects of photoshop as well as photomatix and lightroom. No where i could find this.

    Hi smILUv,
    Here is a tutorial that demonstrates how to do exactly that: Photoshop New Oil-Paint Filter and Skin Tone Selection Tool.
    The key is to use the Oil Paint Filter in Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC). To do this, go to Filter --> Oil Paint.
    This dialog box will appear and you will be able to make adjustments according to your image.
    This is the end result:

    Hope this helps!
    Good luck with your project.

  • How do I find the Oil Paint Filter?

    I work with Adobe Photoshop CC on a Windows 7 32 bit PC. I'm a newbie.
    I am looking for the so called Oil Paint filter. Every manual says: Choose Filter > Oilpaint. No way.  It's not there!
    I searched all sub-sections, useless!
    Is it lost? Has the Oilpaintfilter recently been removed by Adobe? Am I doing something wrong?
    I am stuck. I appreciate your help!

    As a result of doing some "architectural spring-cleaning" and adding "cool new features" Adobe has decided to remove the popular Oilpaint filter...
    Not exactly.
    Oil Paint relied on Pixel Bender.
    John Nack on Adobe : Pixel Bender comes to CS5, adds Oil Paint filter
    Adobe discontinued Pixel Bender claiming lack of adoption from the developer community. The developer community overwhelmingly rejected that assertion and pointed the finger back at Adobe. Clearly Adobe lost interest in Pixel Bender.
    John Nack on Adobe : Pixel Bender discontinued in PS, AE CS6]
    Bottom line is that the Pixel Bender language is history so it was removed from CC 2014 along with the filters which relied on Pixel Bender, the highest profile casualty being the Oil Paint filter.

  • How to get an oil painting effect using Illustrator

    I am looking to do something similiar to this in Illustrator.http://www.oilpaintings-sales.com/oil-paintings/michelangelo-buonarroti-genesis-the-fall-a nd-expulsion-from-paradise-the-original-sin-79148.html
    How do you blend the colors in the body for the shadows and the muscles, etc..  I created an outline of the image, and I could start by using a gradient mesh but using a gradient mesh means it gets too complex and we have to create the mesh in the shape of the body which makes the coloring more difficult and probably isn't the right way to do it.If I wanted to create a similar image can someone tell me about how to do the coloring for this.  I know how to get the color palettes right and the shadows but, the main problem I'm facing is blending in the different shadows created on the body with the skin tone. I don't mind spending hours using a gradient mesh to color this but I still think I'll face the problem I just mentioned.
    If anyone can help me out it is appreciated, please try to elaborate on the details so I get a better understanding.
    Thanks.

    Well, basically you lay down a base g-mesh (A). You get tones and shades close with general lighting in mind. Then you can lay down an additional layer of color or additional g-meshes for further showign and highlights. (B) when these are combined you get more dramatic tones (C) that are more easily tweaked and adjusted. In addition, using the Appearance Panel you can also add fills to apply textures (D)
    Essentially for me, I find laying down a mid-range color base is best. Then I can add dark and light objects on top of that base to alter lighting further. Trying to get lighting perfect in one pass is expectionally difficult in any medium - traditional or digital (except 3d software).

  • Where can i find the oil paint effect for flash?

    If the plug-in complete, where can i get it?

    OilPaint will not run in Flash. OilPaint is currently only available as part of the Pixel Bender plugin for Photoshop.

  • Why did you remove oil paint in CC 2014?!

    I use this filter extensively in my workflow, now it is gone from the latest update to CC! This is terrible, all these wonderful new features and you remove one I use on a daily basis!
    I will keep the previous PS version for the time being.
    Anyone have any workarounds for this going forward?

    John, I was thinking more along the lines of a few versions before, not 2 months before.  In the corporate world of software engineering, you can be sure it was gone WAY before that announcement.  The stuff we consumers see released today has been finished for a long time.
    With all due respect to Adobe, sometimes even when the work gets difficult it's important to do it anyway - even if it means it will cost more or delay a release. 
    Some pointy haired boss in the past approved projects to add the Pixel Bender subsystem and the Oil Paint filter.  It was justifiable enough then to implement it where it hadn't existed before.  THAT was a long-term decision.  The product is not a fun little game for Adobe's research engineers; it's something USERS rely on; base their careers on, actually.   Okay, that may be extreme with regard to Oil Paint, but there's no denying people rely on / base careers on Photoshop as a whole.  What parts of it CAN safely be removed?
    It's a professional product, fully expected to do EVERYTHING its predecessor did - and then some.  That should be clear given all the folks scratching their heads over why CC (2014) has been released as a separate executable.
    As I have mentioned in prior discussions on this subject, people DID actually rely on Oil Paint, and not primarily for simulating fake oil paintings, which it wasn't really that good at.  There is real innovation in the way it senses edges and creates strokes that is pretty much impossible to achieve any other way.  I used it to smooth jaggies.  People used it even though the filter left a nasty 256->240 white point offset that had to be corrected afterward.
    A problem at another level - a perceptual level - is that in a couple of different ways Oil Paint added innovative "Gee Whiz" new functionality in a way that was highly interactive (GPU programming).  People noticed that.  You don't just take back out the "Gee Whiz" and call it a day, if for no other reason than it sends a message to the customers that Adobe is no longer capable of delivering "Gee Whiz".
    And that takes us to the now brutally bare bottom line:  Since no justification beyond "we outdated the tech" has been offered, Adobe really IS admitting to being incapable of maintaining that particular bit of Gee Whiz,  As flush with cash as they are with the success of the cloud model, it's clear they have chosen not to keep themselves capable of delivering it.  That's fundamentally disturbing.

  • Paint Effect

    Hello Everyone!
    I'm relatively new to photoshop and would like to know how I could achieve this intertwining paint effect...   Please reply fast! Thankss

    You have to be a bit lateral in the way you look at and interpret the tutorials.  In fact I used two Render effects to do this:
    This shows the layers involved, and the settings for the upper Hue/Saturation layer.
    Start with foreground set to the colour you want the marble to be, and background white.
    Make a new layer and go Filter > Render Clouds
    Use a levels layer to harden up the clouds (bring black and white sliders towards the centre)
    Now make a new layer, and fill with 50% grey, and go Filter > Render Difference Clouds.
    Open a Levels layer above the Difference clouds, and clip to the difference clouds layer (the left most icon in the properties panel).  Adjust black and white sliders so you get thin white lines on black background.
    Select the difference clouds and levels layer, and merge them (Ctrl e or Cmd e)
    Invert the resulting layer, so you have black lines on white background
    Make a Hue/Saturation layer above, and clip to the layer below. Click on Colourize and adjust settings to suite.  You can use the image above as a guide.
    Set the difference clouds layer blend mode to Overlay, and adjust opacity for best effect.
    I used Liquify and the Smudge tool on the Clouds layer.  The smudge tool is probably most useful because you can see what is happening in real time.  I think that was everything I did, but ask if you get stuck.
    Good luck.
    [EDIT]  Just looked at your example again.  I used the Smudge tool at 50%, but if you set it to 100% you would get the long swirls more easily.
    BTW  The Difference Clouds bit above is the classic Photoshop way of making Lightning.

  • The "oil paint" filter in CC2014

    How can I get the "oil paint" filter in CC 2014? It was in Photoshop CC, but it's gone in CC2014

    If you open the Application Manager, and use the Filter drop down and select Previous Versions. You will then have the option to install the original version of Photoshop CC, and or CS6.  You can install either or both of those along side CC 2014, and they both have the Oil Paint filter.
    Jeff Tranberry explains why some filters and extensions no longer work with CC 2014, but more and more extensions are becoming HTML5/CC 2014 compatible, and we might find that the next version of Photoshop (2015) will have an oil paint filter.  Certainly a lot of people have asked for it.

  • Want oil paint filter

    How can we get the oil paint filter for photoshop cc 2014

    As a matter of fact I have tried GREYCstoration.
    Have you actually run that thing?  The has no sliders, no scroll bars, is not resizeable, and has about eleventy seven parameters that interact in who knows what way.  I'm as geeky as they come and this plug-in is still simply too much like a research tool and not enough like a usable noise reduction program.  I have not yet found a set of parameters that delivers the good results I  showed above, which balance just enough smoothing with just enough detail retention.
    Its heart is in the right place, but it does not equal the ease of use and utility of Oil Paint.

  • In photoshop CC 2014 where did the oil paint filter go? it is the filter i need for almost every photo

    I cannot find the oil paint filter anymore in the recent version, it is not hidden in the paint galleries. I hope that Adobe did include it otherwise i cant use the updates anymore....

    You ARE going to put it back aren't you?
    Won't happen.
    You'll have to use the just-released 3rd party filter.
    Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
    "Oil Paint is a very cool filter, but relied on a very large and complex code library used for an outdated technology (Pixel Bender) that is no longer supported.
    Update/note: It looks like a 3rd party has released a full PixelBender-esque plug-in that will work in CC. Haven’t tried it myself, but may interest those who liked Oil Paint and PixelBender: http://aescripts.com/pixel-bender-accelerator-for-photoshop/"

  • How to smooth lines of original oil painting

    I had an artist paint an oil painting (on canvas) of our wedding venue to use as part of our wedding invitation. However, I didn't realize how an oil painting would print on paper and the brush strokes are nonuniform and visible. How can I smooth out the brush strokes?

    50mm will be fine.  I expect its sweet spot will be around f8
    Align the lens axis with the center of the image and perpendicular to the image.
    If the sun is bright, find some shade.  In fact find some shade anyway.
    Use a tripod
    Take a test image with a sheet of white paper in front to the painting to set white balance to in Photoshop. But try to take the image well away from any brightly coloured surfaces that might reflect colour onto the painting.
    DO NOT USE FLASH
    Try and leave an inch or two of space around the painting.  This will help you square it up in Photoshop
    Later versions of Photoshop have a Perspective Crop tool that would let you correct any out of squareness of the photograph, but you can still do this with CS5
    Open the image, and make any adjustments like black and white point.
    Copy the background layer.
    Turn on the grid (Ctrl ')
    Free Transform (Ctrl t)
    Hold down the Ctrl key, and drag each corner in turn to align the edges to the grid to square it up.
    Crop out what is left.
    Sharpen for print (View at 60% and go by the preview)
    Be amazed by how much better it looks compared to the scanned version
    Have a great special day, and best wishes to your SO
    Now that's definitely me for today. (12.39am and I NEED my sleep)

    On file types, it has to be on the advanced drop down menu to put it on the "open with" box. If it isn't listed on the bottom (actually I think it only icons) then you have to click Browse. I have done it before on a small program--went to the ".exe" file of that program and clicked on that file. .I looked around in PS CC, but it was mostly .dll's .. and the whole program is so big--I just couldn't find it.
    I haven't looked again since that day. I ran across a utility program which helped you change the "Open with" --but obviously didn't download it. I know how to use that default screen of file endings--it just wouldn't pick up the CC. There is probably a way to do it, I just don't know it.
