Hello everyone. Great to see you all here!
Today is the day for many of you who asked me how you can convert your image into a painting if you are not a painter and don’t want to spend a lot of time painting.
Topaz Studio is what you need. In just under 5 minutes, you can convert your photo into art. Let me show how.
Open an image that you want to convert into a painting.
Click on Filter > Topaz Studio 2
Photoshop will launch Topaz Studio
Click on Add Look
Topaz will display a library with many different styles of painting looks (From Leonardo da Vinci to Pastel) that you can add to your image. I love many of them and I know you will as well.
Click on any look you want to add to your image. My favorite look is Cezzane so I will click on this look. After you specify the look you want, Topaz will display a slider that you can use to apply less or more of the painting effect to the image.
Now you can apply your personal touches to the painting to make it more personal and unique.
Click on “Impression.” Here you can change stroke, the number of strokes, and brush size.
From the Color and Lighting workspaces you can adjust colors and lighting in your image. I don’t use these features a lot because if I use Topaz as a plug-in in Photoshop, I prefer to adjust everything in my image before I launch Topaz.
Texture is my one of favorite features. Using the Textue workspace you can add texture to your image and the best part is that using Texture Strength you can adjust how much texture effect you want to apply.
After you are happy with everything you are ready to click on Accept and your image will return to Photoshop with an applied painting effect.
This is how easy it is to convert a photo into a painting in just under five minutes.
Most of us feel better when we create. Some of us have painting experience, some of us don’t. Having no experience shouldn’t keep you from creating. I believe that all of us can create. Creation is our natural language and Topaz Studio makes our voices heard. If you wanted to paint, but never did before, today is the day. Start your art today with Topaz Studio.
