How to Achieve Oil Painting on Canvas Effect?

A friend took a picture of an portrait of her grandfather painted in oil on canvas.  She has asked me to "Photoshop" the picture so that the canvas effect shows up in the picture.  I use PSE 8 in Win 7.  Thanks.

Filter>Texture>Texturizer>Canvas. However, you may need to play with this to make it large enough to show in a print, if that's your intended output.
You might also try loading a burlap texture, which may give a more visible woven effect.

  • How to achieve this specific drop shadow effect?

    Dear all,
    Does anybody know how to achieve this specific drop shadow effect in InDesign: a step by step instruction, a plugin, etc?

    Kasyan,
    I generally just use the basic feather. I draw the object with a few clicks of the pen, fill with whatever color, set the tint if desired, then use settings more or less as below.

  • 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)

  • 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 to achieve this Effect?

    Hey everyone i was wondering if you guys had any idea how to achieve this effect in flash.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QftcJtvLr8g

    While you could probably do this in Flash, it is much more simply done using AfterEffects. There's a splendid text tool that can be tortured into effects like this. Have a look at the podcasts from Creative Cow on AfterEffects for some interesting examples.

    I want oil paint how do I go frpm Photoshop CC 2014 to Photoshop CC

    why can't you change it?
    Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    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.

  • Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6?

    Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6? I am currently using a trial version.

    The last time someone reported this problem with Oil paint, the fix was to go Preferences (Ctrl k) > Performance and set the cache levels to something other than '1'.  If you cache levels were not previously set to 1 then we'll need to think again.

  • How to achieve resize image effect

    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this effect with image resizing in RH, as the images do at the link below? I cannot find the method in the RH Help.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f7772644666e3b1373013a398-8000.h tml

    Hi there
    Sorry, but RoboHelp does not offer a method to achieve this. Unfortunately that's a huge hint that Adobe isn't using RoboHelp to develop those pages.
    If that's the effect you are after, you will need to roll your own with some JavaScript that does a hide and show on text and images.
    One way you might achieve it with a single image would be to insert the image *TWICE* on the page. Then scale one pretty small. Take the full sized image and tuck it inside a Dynamic HTML drop-down. The net effect would be that the user would click to see the full sized image (revealing the DHTML drop-down) and the smaller version would be "pushed" farther down the page.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Particle effect -how to achieve this kind of effect exactly

    Hello   please help me to achieve this type of flickering particle effect.  how to achieve this in After effect  which is shown at 0.8 sec to 0.11  in the attached link video. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-video-2682258-hearts.php

    I can't give you the exact settings but you could use Trapcode Particular with a custom particle or CC Particle world. Just turn gravity to 0 and set up a custom particle.
    Your particle layer will be behind the spinning hearts layer. This should get you going in the right direction.

  • 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.

  • Need Programming Help - Changing Algorithm for PhotoShop's Oil Paint Plug-In Filter

    The existing PhotoShop Oil Paint filter only works well when applied to relatively small image sizes of around 500kb. I need to apply these effects to relatively large image sizes of around 100mb.
    I do not have a background in programming, but to my way of thinking it seems reasonable to assume the algorithm parameters in the existing code can be altered so that the Oil Paint filter will work well when applied to large images.
    I am seeking a programmer capable of doing this.
    The Oil Paint filter is derived from Pixel Bender, for which there is an SDK. Adobe no longer supports Pixel Bender and will not be supporting the Oil Paint filter with the next release of PhotoShop CC. I will need to run the updated filter in PS 6 (on OSX) for which Adobe has promised continued support.
    If for some reason it is not possible to enhance the existing Oil Paint filter, creating a G'MIC filter capable of achieving the same goal may be a feasible option. In GIMP there is a G'MIC filter under Artistic called Dream Smoothing that produces results somewhat similar to the Oil Paint filter. Unfortunately, with just one control parameter, it is severely limited. It also does not function well when applied to large images.
    The most desirable solution is to have a PhotoShop plug-in filter that functions exactly like the existing Oil Paint filter, with the one enhanced characteristic of working as well when applied to 100mb to 200mb images as it currently does when applied to 500kb images.
    Suggestions, advice, guidance or other wisdom on how to accomplish this is very much appreciated.
    (I am a digital illustrator in the San Francisco Bay area using OSX running on a new-model MacPro.)

    Please advise: I have the [circa 2010] 64-bit v.CS 5 Photoshop (et.al) -  that has been updated by Adobe a few times, by my choice- or by their automatic update method (which I try NOT to utilize, automatically: I like to know what it is that is being installed BEFOEit happens. Think the now unstoppable Google Chrome v32 for Macs. Unbelievable gall from Google; and it breaks anything that is supposed to run  /stream from the web in Apple Inc's QUICKTIME). Anyway: When I clicked on your provided link (above), it brought meto the PIXEL BENDER page, including numerous archived PLUG-IN downloads; Neither of the URIs (for a plug-in that enables OIL PAINT filter in PS CS 5)  - for any of the offered 64-bit Mac OXS plug-ins /downloads. Nothing happens. Can you please explain more; or perhaps what it is I am doing wrong? NOTE: I did not "sign in" at the time, to the Adobe site with my Adobe account ID /pwd; but then - I did not think I HAVE to sign in download a freely available plug-in.
    Thanks very much.

  • Applying Oil Paint Filter to Large Scale Images

    I need to apply the effects available from the Oil Paint filter to very large, 80mb images. The filter works exactly as I need it to on small images, but not at large scale. A comment I have heard in a Lynda.com video on the Oil Paint filter mentioned that the filter does not work well on large images. However, I REALLY need this, even if I need to pay someone to write a program that can do it! Does anyone know if / how I can get the filter to work for large images and / or if there is a third-party plug-in that will provide the same results? Having this filter work on large scale images could make or break a business idea I have so finding a solution is extremely important to me.

    What's the problem you're having with applying it to an 80 MB image?  Is it that the effects don't scale up enough?
    Technically it can run on large images if you have the computer resources...  I've just successfully applied it to an 80 MB image, and with the sliders turned all the way up it looks pretty oil painty, though it kind of drops back into a realistic looking photo when zoomed out...
    If it's just that the sliders can't go high enough, given that it's a very abstract look you're trying to achieve, have you considered applying it at a downsized resolution, then upsampling, then maybe applying it again?  This is done that way...
    Oh, and by the way, Oil Paint has been removed from Photoshop CC 2014, so if you're planning a business based on automatically turning people's large photos into oil paintings you should assume you'll be stuck with running the older Photoshop version.

  • How do I find out what filter effect I used on an image after I have saved it?

    I used a series of filters that gave an image a very cool painterly - impressionistic painting - quality.  I have forgot what steps I took to get that effect.  I have tried to go back and look at the image history but that did not tell me anything since I already saved the image.  The finished photo looked like swirly painted brush strokes with depth just like you would get if you actually painted it.
    I recall an old program like Fractal Painter used to have some filters like that.  I don't think Fractal Painter even exists anymore.  Does anyone know what I may have done to get that effect or how I can look at the image data to figure out what filters I used?
