How to add a filter oil paint in Photoshop. Magic Photoshop: Four ways to transform photos in the picture

Onions, beets, carrots

Hello everyone participants site! With recent under, a popular processing called Oil appeared. Its essence is that the photo as a result looks like a painting painted with oil paints. Now I will teach you how to do it, for those who still do not know.

So, here is our source:


This snapshot was made on Kit. I used to have 6D + 24-105, but in the end I sold it and bought a 60 tech with whale. In the studio with such a set, sources are excellent quality, especially if they are after processing qualitatively.

Begin:

  1. Open the source in Photoshop CS6. ATTENTION! This filter "Oil paint" is only in the CS6 photoshop. You can of course install and separately in earlier versions, I didn't do it, if you know how, write in the comments. It also writes that this filter is in Adobe Photoshop CC.
  2. Open the filter "Plastic" and adjust the figure. Often the model has an ideal figure, but the wrong irregular angle does not pass it worthy. For such cases there is a wonderful plastic filter. The main thing is, of course, do not overdo it and not change the girl so much that her own friends will not recognize. Of course, it is better to shoot at once so that no filter is needed. If you can so much, then super \u003d)
  3. Eliminate skin defects. Pimples, scars, cuts, all this will easily rule with standard photoshop tools, such as "restoring brush". Works the tool is very simple. You need to set the size of the brush - a little more than a pimple or scar. Click Alt on the keyboard and select the area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, where everything is exactly and no defects. Let go and smoothly spend at the place that you want to fix.
  4. Now we need to make even more smooth skin. Download and install if this did not make a filter "Potterter".


This filter is very easy to use this filter. To start duplicate the layer. Open the filter portrait. Configure the effect of the applied effect.


After that, choose a pipette, click on the darker skin area and save. Then we use again and click on the brightest area of \u200b\u200bthe skin and also save.



Leave the effect only on the skin itself. From the hair is also erased from underwear. It is important for us to keep the sharpness of some details.

7. After you have completed the rule of skin defects, it is necessary to improve the volume. To do this, work with light and shadows on the skin model using Dodge and Burn technology.

Now you need to create 2 layers with curves. 1 Curve will be called "Light", another "shadow". One curve you need to shove up, and the other down. And the mask of each curve should be turned into black, so that the effect is not visible.



And on the layers of the shadow and light draw the volume. Technology is very simple. Where there are shadows - draw a brush along the "Shadow" curve. Thus, the shadows become even darker. Where the light is respectively on the curve with light. The technology is simple, but the most important thing to do everything neatly and not to overdo it differently will not be natural. Everything should be in moderation. This is actually the most difficult thing in this lesson and at the same time is the simplest. Just need to be accessed and then everything will get better.



When you handle your hair, the transparency of the brush can be increased, so that the effect is stronger.


Create this crooked new layer:


Create a gradient here with flowers:



And create a layer with an exposure, adjusting the parameter "Gamma Correction":


As a result, we turned out this result:


10. Now the most interesting starts. For what all this was done. Use the filter "Oil paint":


In the filter, install the settings:


And apply.

I forgot to completely say. Before that, all layers need to merge. The resulting layer is duplicated. Now I will explain why. This filter sinks so much that it disappears important details. For example, eyes, nose, lips. In order for this not to happen, you must apply this filter, leave the layer where the filter was not applied or was used but with more gentle settings. Thus, if the "Eraser" tool with transparency is 50% or less, removed from the upper layer, you can restore parts that were lost when using the filter.

Here is an example:





So do not forget to make layers in order to be able to go ahead.

The top of the body was warmer than the bottom and I eventually balanced them.

12. After that, I decided to increase the sharpness of the whole picture. I duplicated the layer and applied the filter "Color Contrast".:


There set the parameters:


To the resulting layer, I installed the "Overlap" layer mode:


So the picture has become more sharp. Then I duplicated this layer with sharpness 2 more times. But this is a matter of taste. You can 1 or 2 times and enough. You can also layer with sharpness to adjust the transparency of the layer. In the occupation, Espeen is more convenient.


Here in principle and everything \u003d)


14. I would like to clarify one important detail I understood with time.

This photo was made at the camera in 18 megapixels. If before applying the "Oil paint" filter, a photo is reduced by a photo, at least up to 12 megapixels, then the filter is used with even greater force. Thus, it is possible to achieve a stronger effect effect.

Applying a photo filter to 3000 pixels width:


Applying a photo filter in 1500 pixels:


As you can see, the smaller the pixels are the stronger the effect.

That's all, I hope the lesson will be useful for you and you discovered something new. Good luck!

PS If something is not clear to you in the comments, I will gradually correct and supplement the lesson.

We start drawing our picturesque picture.

We download in Adobe Photoshop brushes that are offered at the beginning of the lesson for downloading.
Choose a tool finger.
Choose from a set of brush brush at number 795.

11.Size brushes. Exhibit what you are more convenient for,
at its work, at first I put up the size of the brush 70%, the intensity is 40%.

We start drawing on our girlfriend.
First of all draw on the face of the girl.
During the work, the intensity value is reduced if necessary
And the sizes of the tassel are done somewhere less, somewhere more.
We try to move with a brush so as to respect the main directions of the anatomy of the face:
Along the nose, around the eyes, on the chests, along the lips lines.
Pourish the edges of the eye, pupils, nasal sinuses.

Then go to your arms, neck.
We process every finger separately.
Also change the intensity and size of the brush.
During the blur, we do: circular movements, along, across.
We draw so on our girlfriend so that there is no untreated area.

Note. This processing, of course, takes not little time and patience.
From the first time you may not work out, as I would like.
The more often you will be practiced in the development of this interesting effect,
The faster will achieve a qualitative result.

Now we make the impression of all visible layers, press the CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + E key combination.
Add a camera correction layer.

I wish you all creative success
and pleasant impressions of the work done!

Thank you for your attention to my work!

Transformation of the photo in the picture is one of the most sought-after lessons to work with graphic editors. Modern 2D applications are so perfect that they make it possible to try themselves as a real artist, even those who never knew how to draw well. Sliders, checkboxes and other options for settings work no worse than a palette with paints and canvas.

One of the confirmations of the high interest of users to the topic of drawing is the appearance in arsenal latest version Photoshop Oil Paint Filter ("Oil Paint"), with which you can turn the image into a picture for counting seconds. And in the presence of a modern graphics adapter - in real time to observe contributing changes in the preview window. However, like any other tool, the Oil Paint filter is imperfect. In particular, it does not make it possible separately to control the size and character of smears in different parts of the image. Therefore, other methods for obtaining a picture from photography remain relevant. In this review, we will look at both Oil Paint and three more ways to get this effect.

⇡ Using the Oil Paint filter

Oil Paint is one of the new Photoshop CS6 filters, the Mercury Graphics Engine Engine (MGE) engine. The latter uses OpenGL and OpenCL technology and makes it possible to noticeably speed up the result, shifting part of the operation on the GPU. However, unlike some other new CS6 filters, the Oil Paint works with old video cards, but in this case only processor resources are used for calculations.

For convenience, the command for calling the Oil Paint filter is removed directly in the Filter menu.

The filter contains six sliders: four of them are related to the parameters of the brush, and two to setting the lighting. Stylization sliders ("Stylization") and Bristle Detail ("Bristle Information") are designed to add contrast to imitated brush strokes. They create light boundaries between each curve or twist and thereby make the effect more pronounced. The difference between the two settings is that the first adds an additional chaotic effect into a pattern created by brush strokes, and the second affects the contrast.

Cleanliness slider ("cleanliness") makes it possible to change the detail of each brush stalling. The high values \u200b\u200bof this parameter correspond to the drawing with a new soft brush, and at low values \u200b\u200bit is possible to obtain the effect of drawing an already contaminated brush with mercury bristles - there will be more "grains" in the image.

Using the Scale parameter, you can, in fact, resize the brush.

As for settings related to lighting, the angular direction ("at an angle") determines the angle under which the mimic light reaches the surface of the canvas, which, in turn, affects the contrast between the smears. When changing the lighting, the smears may look bright or, on the contrary, dark. The shine parameter ("glitter" sets the overall severity of the effect.

⇡ Transformation of the photo in the picture using filters

This method of creating a picture from a photo is interesting in that it allows you to get a completely acceptable result without using a virtual brush. The secret lies in the consistent use of filters, which in Photoshop a great set.

Note that filter settings will differ for images with different resolution, so you may need to adjust them. We set up settings to resolve 1024x768.

So, after loading the original picture in Photoshop, use the Ctrl + U key combination to open the Hue / Saturation window ("Color Tone / Saturation"). Increase image saturation up to forty five.

Open the filter gallery by selecting it in the Filter menu. Go to the Glass filter ("Glass"). Since we want to get such an image that it is placed on canvas, set the texture of the canvas style in its settings (Canvas). Other parameters should be selected depending on the resolution of the image. Reduce the distortion by setting the lower value of the Distortion parameter ("distortion"), and select a small value of the smoothness parameter ("Softening").

Click the New Effect Layer button ("New Layer Effects") at the bottom of the filter gallery window to add an additional layer for using the filter.

Again the angled strokes filter ("inclined strokes"). It mimics the brush strokes applied at a certain angle. For the Stroke Length) parameter, set the value 3, and the value of the Sharpness parameter ("sharpness") defining how sharp the image will be reduced to one.

Add one more effect layer using the same New Effect Layer button. Assign Paint Daubs filter ("Oil painting"). Key Settings here - Brush type (Brush Type). In this case, you need to select the type of Simple ("simple"), and then reduce the size of the brush to four and lower the Sharpness value ("sharpness") so that the smears are less clear.

Create the last layer of effect. Assign Texturizer Filter ("Texturizer"). It adds to the image of a canvas texture. In its settings, select suitable type Textures - Canvas ("Canvas"). Then select the scale of the texture (SCALING parameter) and its relief (RELIEF parameter).

The main work is completed. To apply the filters to the image, click on the OK button. It remains to make smears clearer. Create a copy of the layer using the Ctrl + J command. Select the bleaching section of the layer Image → Adjustments → Desaturate ("Image" → "Correction" → "Defense").

Now apply Filter → Stylize → EMBOSS filter to the top layer ("Filter" → "Stylization" → "Embossing"). In its settings, reduce the value of the HEIGHT parameter ("height") to one, and the value of the Amount parameter ("effect"), on the contrary, increase to 500.

For the current layer, change the type of mix on Overlay ("Overlapping"). Ready!

⇡ "Drawn" oil painting

And here's another interesting way Transforming any photo in the painting written by oil. It is more laborious than using the new Oil Paint filter ("oil paint"), but it gives more opportunities for creativity.

Open the image.

Create a new layer and choosing the Fill tool ("Fill"), fill it with white. Select the ART HISTORY Brush tool ("Archive Art Brush"). At the History palette ("History"), set the Set The Source for History Brush ("Specifies the source for the archive brush").

In the tool settings, select a brush for drawing an oil 63 Oil Pastel ("Wide Paste Oil Pastel") and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Area ("Diameter") specify the distribution area equal to thirty.

Click on the image of the right mouse button and reduce the size of the brush and pull the layer. The smaller the size, the less the size of the smear and the more detailed will be the picture.

Apply Filter → Sharpen → Unsharp Mask ("Filter" → "Enhancement" → "Contour sharpness") to make strokes more expressive. Increase the value of the Amount parameter ("effect"). Finally, apply the Texturizer filter ("Texturizer") to create an illusion of canvas. In Photoshop CS6 of this filter in the Filter menu, there is no default menu, and it is called via Filter Gallery ("Filter Gallery"). Select in the Texture list ("Texture") - canvas ("canvas") and, focusing on the preview window, select the values \u200b\u200bof the scaling parameters ("scale") and RELIEF ("relief").

Now the image looks like a painting written by oil.

⇡ Almost true painting in Photoshop

Most of the formation of painting in Photoshop is based on the use of a certain sequence of filters. These methods have one serious drawback - they are often deprived of the individuality of the artist. In this lesson, we will tell about one method of imitation of painting, which will create a unique, unique picture of any kind on the database of any photo.

The secret of the originality of the images obtained using this method is that the user itself brings randomly. But to draw a picture in this way, it is not necessary to possess the artist's talent.

So, open the image that will serve as the basis of the picture. Increase the size of the canvas slightly. To do this, execute the Image → Canvas Size command ("Image" → "Canvas Size").

Run Edit → Define Pattern ("Define Pattern") command. Create a new layer and fill it with white using the Fill tool ("Fill"). Make it a little more transparent by reducing the value of the Opacity parameter ("opacity") to 80%, so that through the upper layer looked through the original image.

Create a new layer and arise the Pattern Stamp tool ("Patterned Stamp"). In the list of samples on the toolbar, select the option saved earlier with the Define Pattern command ("Define Pattern"). Check the Aligned checkbox ("Alive.") For the correct positioning of the smears and the Impressionist (Effect) checkbox for giving it the style of impressionism.

Choose one of the brushes in the Pattern Stamp tool settings ("Patterned Stamp"). Configure its profile using the configurations on the Brush palette ("brush"). It is desirable that the profile looks like a smear of a real brush - a trace of the villi should be blocked in it and the canvas texture should be visible. Start drawing right in the image, short small strokes. They can be made in a completely arbitrary way, trying to see the brush profile on each smear.

In the process of drawing the picture, the size of the brush can and even need to be changed. In those areas of the image, where the detail is low, for example, where the sky or the sea can be used larger brushes. In the same areas where many small parts, it is better to reduce the size of the used brush so that the pattern elements are better marked on the canvas.

The process of creating a picture occupies a sufficient time, because you have to pay attention to every recognizable part in the image. However, it is this "handmade" and makes a painting realistic. The position of the smears is not amenable to a description by some algorithm, it is exclusively the work of the artist. When light spots in the image persist, you can save the result.

⇡ Conclusion

This article discusses several ways to get a picture from the photo in Adobe Photoshop, but there are many other programs in which a similar effect can be achieved. Among them are a lot and free, such as FotoSketcher. This program offers more than twenty drawing styles, from watercolor paints and pencil drawings before creating a cartoon image. Each style has several settings, with which you can influence appearance Finished "paintings".

Despite the fact that Fotosketcher means can be quickly obtained a number of interesting artistic effects, all the same in these kind programs there is not enough freedom to implement creative ideas. Many operations are made according to the template, and therefore the result is more or less repeated by the previously obtained pictures. So Photoshop was, there is and remains the main tool for the artist working with digital painting.

Today we will talk about art filters in Photoshop. With the help of these filters, styling under painting (oil, pastel, pencil), imitation of surfaces and structures. With the help of these filters, you can create artwork from your photos.

Filter - tool for changing the image. It can be blur, increasing sharpness, stylization, relief strengthening, change color Gamma. and much more.

All filters you can find in the "Filter" tab, which is located on top. When you click on this tab, a menu appears.

Watercolor (Watercolor). The effect of the pattern made by watercolor.

Mimics drawing with watercolor paints. But not very good. By applying a couple of tricks, you can achieve wonderful results. Maketwo Copies of photos with Ctrl + J, then select Watercolor Filter.

We see the settings

  • Brush Size.
  • Brush Detail. Determines how accurately the parts will be saved.
  • Texture (texture). Determines the severity of the paper texture.

Adjust the settings to taste. On the left we see the texture, right - the result.



Marine Watercolor / Luceluceluce

Change the overlay mode of the first layer onScreen. (Lightening or screen)and the second onMultiply. (Multiplication). Add masks in both layers. Keep the alt key to create a black mask. With a brush white color And watercolor brushes, the options of which you will find on the Internet, draw on masks. Thus, you will imitate typical color transitions. Photoshop held pre-work and prepared a sketch. With the help of brushes and textures you can get the desired effect.


Colored Pencil (Color Pencil). Mimics a drawing with a color pencil.

The "Color Pencil" filter uses the current color of the background as the color of the paper on which the drawing will be created. That is, even before applying the filter you need to take a small solution. The color of the snapshot will turn into the colors of the pencils. Color paper will be visible between pencil strokes.

  • Pencil Width (pencil thickness). Regulates the thickness of the strokes.
  • STROKE WIDTH (push stroke). Imitate a strong or weak press on the pencil.
  • Paper Brightness.
When the brightness value 16, you will get a paper color roughly appropriate background. When you move the slider, the right to 16 color will be lighter, left is darker.


Since small parts are rarely well worked out, it is better to work with big photos. With a disposable filter application, it is difficult to get good result. Therefore, I recommend to make several copies of the image, apply different settings on different copies and with the help of layers masks draw those areas that best suite this part of the photo. The paper texture contributes to the fact that the image looks more realistic. In this case, the texture is in a layer over all other layers and I used the layer overlay mode.Multiply. (Multiplication) With small transparency.

SMUDGE STICK (Rastyshevka). The effect of smooth, soft image.

The filter softens the image by adding diagonal smears, and the light areas become brighter and lose the detail. In this filter, the color of the picture is used to imitate the decisive. In this case, it is possible to set the length of the stroke, which naturally affects the parts and sharpness / blur. You can change the brightness of different zones of the picture and the intensity of brightness.

  • Highlight Area (brightness zone).
  • INTENSITY (intensity).


Since the content of the picture does not change, it is possible to create a "photo-realistic" picture. To do this, make two copies of the original and go to the filter. On the bottom layer install strong length brightness zone and intensity on 0. On the top layer - stroke length - 10, brightness zone - 10 and intensity - 3. Mix this layer mixing modeOverlay (Overlay) and install transparency 50%.

So you will achieve that the strokes will not be too uniform. Of course it is important to choose the correct motive correctly. Fantastic collages here are suitable more than, for example, a portrait.


THE TEMPLE / ZUBOFF

Cutout (Applique). Turns the photo to the applique of colored paper.

The filter connects similar colors and simulates the applique of glued pieces of paper. The number of levels determines the number of colors in the collage. Simplification of the edge - how exactly and smoothly cut pieces of paper. The accuracy of the edge reacts only when the abstraction level is not set to 0. The lower the scale value Edge. SIMPlicity (edge \u200b\u200bsimplification) and more zoom value EDGE FIDELITY, the less distortion. Image brightness does not change

  • NO OF LEVELS (number of levels) determines the number of color levels
  • Edge Simplicity (edge \u200b\u200bsimplification).
  • EDGE FIDELITY.



That is, with the help of this filter you can achieve the effect of illustration. To determine the content of the image, a simple contour is quite enough. It is also very important to choose the correct image. It also makes sense to use different modes of mixing layers, for example,Overlay.



Green Forest WITH FOG / Andreiuc88


FRESCO (fresco) . Fresco painting:

This filter imitates paint to still fresh plaster, at least in theory. The choice of motive is very important here.

  • Brush Size.
  • Texture (texture). Adjusts the sharpness of the edges.




In order for the picture to be like a mural, I applied a filter with settings azmere Brushes - 1, Details Brushes - 10, Texture - 1, put the texture overlooking the plaster and withImage - Correction - Color Tone / Saturation Reduned the saturation of the picture. Then I changed the layer overlay mode onMultiply. (Multiplication).



Saint Mary Magdalene / Zatletic


Dry Brush (dry brush). Imitation drawing with dry brush.

As a result of the use of this filter, a drawing is obtained, a very reminder of the dry brush technique (drawing with plenty of paint with a small amount of water).

  • Brush Size.
  • Brush Detail. Determines how many parts need to be saved.
  • Texture (texture). Adjusts the severity of paper texture.


Here you can apply a filter with settings. brush size - 1, Details Brush - 10, Texture - 2. The snapshot already becomes similar to the picture. Make a copy of the layer and apply the filter again with the settings. brush size - 10, Details Brushes - 10, Texture - 1 And change the transparency of the layer by 50%. Paper texture can improve effect.



MEDITERRANE IMPRESSION / PK200258


Rough Pastels (Pastel). Pastel pattern effect.

Using this filter gives the effect of a pastel pattern. At the top of the dialog box, the length of the stroke and the degree of detail is set. In the lower part, the properties of the material on which the drawing is applied, the size of the texture, relief and direction of light is determined.

  • Stroke Length (Stroke Length).
  • STROKE DETAIL (stroke detail). Determines how strongly pronounced strokes.
  • Texture (texture). Allows you to choose a texture: Brick (Brick), Burlap (Burlakov), Canvas (canvas), Sandstone (sand).
  • Scaling.
  • Relief (relief).
Tick \u200b\u200bInvert inverts relief.


Settings depend on the motive. After the filter settings, it is located on some parts of the picture using the mask delete (or partially delete) the filter action.

Film Grain (Photopling grain). Imposes a grain on a snapshot, imitating shooting on a film chamber:

On contrast pictures gives a fairly interesting effect. Scale Grain.(Grain) controls the size of grain,Highlight Area (lighting) - percentage of lightened sections, A Intensity (intensity) - exposure (illumination).

  • Grain (grain). The amount of grain in the image.
  • Highlight Area (brightness zone). Increases the brightness of the final image.
  • INTENSITY (intensity). Adjusts the brightness and sets the intensity of bright zones.


Make two copies of the snapshot and apply to the top layer filter with settings grain - 8, brightness zone - 14, intensity - 2. Change the upper layer overlay mode onMultiply. (Multiplication)and layer under it onScreen (Lightening). So you will get a contrast shot with grain.



Fine Art Image / Konradbak


Plastic Wrap (Polyethylene wrapper). It seems that the snapshot laid inside the plastic bag or film.
  • Highlight Strengthh (power highlights). Determines how strong polyethylene glare will be.
  • Detail. Contour detail level.
  • Smoothness. Smooth glare.



Fashion Couple Dramatic / Gabi Moisa


Underpainting (drawing under the surface). Creates the effect of the pattern under different surfaces.
  • Stroke Length (Stroke Length).
  • Texture Coverage (texture coverage)
  • Texture (texture).
  • Scaling.
  • Relief (relief).
  • Light. Allows you to choose which side will be covered with relief.


In this case, I took the texture of the canvas 50% scaleand Relief height - 5. Light - from the bottom to the right, the length of the stroke 0to get the outline. Here is the result:



Grand Cru Rotwein / Wilm ihlenfeld


Palette Knife (Spatula). Imitation of an image applied by a wide knife type tool.

Allows you to imitate oil painting technique performed by a special tool for a wide knife type (spatula or masticine). The image acquires emphasized rough forms.

  • STROKE SIZE (stroke size). Adjusts the size of the stroke at the edges of the contour.
  • STROKE DETAIL (stroke detail).
  • Softness. Smoothes a snapshot.


Unfortunately, the filter affects only small color areas. Color transitions are not affected. This can be corrected by appropriate texture and impoverish it with overlay mode.Multiply. (Multiplication). Then connect the layers (original and texture) and take two copies. On the top layer, impose a filter with settings stroke size - 50, stroke detail - 3, softness - 0. Put the layer transparency by 80% and change the upper layer overlay modeScreen. (Lightening).



dutch Mills 3 / Dzain

Neon Glow (Neon Glow). Creates a neon glow through the objects of the object in the picture.

Turns the image into monochrome negative and adds a light stroke, "glow", along the contour of objects.

  • GLOW SIZE (glow size)
  • Glow Brightness (Light Brightness)
Using the size, you can adjust whether the snapshot will be shown as original or negative. Brightness determines how the back background affects the picture. In this filter you can choose the color of the neon glow.


Feuerwehrschlauch / 77simongruber.


Paint Daubs (Taste Paint). Creates a type of painting made by oil.

Gives a picture the type of painting made by oil.

  • Brush Size. Already familiar to us parameter.
  • Sharpness.
Here you can specify the type of brush (Brush Type).


The filter with settings is applied here. brush size - 25 and sharpness - 20. Brush type - wide and medium hardness. The texture with the overlay mode is applied on topMultiply. (Multiplication) and transparency 25%. Then the copy of the layer was made and the overlay mode was selected.Softlight.
(Soft light) and transparency 50%


rotes Italien / Grischa Georgiew

Sponge (sponge). The effect of an image applied with a sponge.

  • Brush Size.
  • Definition.
  • Smoothness.
Here is a picture of a picture using a filter with settings brush size - 0, Coldness - 6 and smoothing - 1 and second copy of the layer with settings brush size - 5, clarity -10 and smoothing - 15. Transparency - 50%. The texture is applied on top.


Lüneburger Heide / Thorsten Schier

POSTER EDGES (outlined edges). Strengthens the contours of the snapshot.

  • EDGE Thickness (edge \u200b\u200bthickness).
  • EDGE INTENSITY (edge \u200b\u200bintensity).
  • Poserization.
Finds the contours of the picture and drives them with black lines. The result will be similar to the poster. In this case, a filter with settings is applied. edge thickness - 10, edge intensity - 5 and posting - 6. Sometimes a snapshot before applying the filter is to blur.



Superhero Businessman / Nomad_soul

We will tell about other filters and their application in the next article.
