View Full Version : Photo to Painting programe Looie 12 September 2007, 20:26 Is anyone aware of a computer (Windows) programe that can convert a standard photo to make it look like a painting, preferably one that is UK based so the language in the manual is understandable! Posting here in Photography first in case anyone on here knows, if not I will post in Computer section later. Anyone know? Thanks. Markus 13 September 2007, 01:44 Are you looking for results similar to this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/markuswarren/before.jpg Original Image http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/markuswarren/after_drybrush.jpg Dry Brush Filter http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/markuswarren/after_watercolor.jpg Watercolor Filter The above transformations were performed using Photoshop CS3 Extended's Artistic filters from it's Filter Gallery Looie 13 September 2007, 09:21 The dry brush filter is nearer to what I am looking for, but don't have CS3 - budget doesn't stretch to that. Don't suppose this filter is in the cheaper Elements is it?

Don't suppose this filter is in the cheaper Elements is it? Sure is here's 2 mins in elements at default - you can change detail, brush size, etc http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q243/rotdog/afterwithelementsdrybrush.jpg and here's 2 minutes in microsoft photo editor (which is probably free!) http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q243/rotdog/afterwithphotoeditor.jpg Again, the effect is adjustable Looie 13 September 2007, 11:23 Cheers for that - looks like a visit to PC World over the weekend then for Elements. Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
