As a former painter, I wanted the Oil Paint Filter in Photoshop to be incredible. As it stands, by itself, it is less than desirable. It looks like someone just threw a filter on a photo and called it a day. Some words come to mind, kitsch, contrived, automated, and crap.
There are lots of great photo painting plugins on the market like Topaz Impression or Rebelle. These plugins use various algorithms for highlights and shadows to make the image look like a more natural painted photograph. So if you think like these programs, you can make the Photoshop filter work wonders.
In a recent tutorial, Luminosity Masking versus Blend If, I showed you how to break your image into three distinct regions using two different approaches. The first approach was with Luminosity Masking, which is a very powerful approach to photo editing, but it makes a static selection. The second approach was using Blend If, which adapts its selection based on the underlying tones. After thinking about the second selection method and the Oil Paint filter, a little light bulb kicked on and I developed a unique technique for creating an oil painted effect in Photoshop.
In today's tutorial, I will show you how to separate your image into three distinct regions using Blend If. We will then go into the Oil Paint filter and a create different settings for each region. This technique will simulate different brush strokes for the various regions of the photo. It yields a much more natural painted look.
There is a lot going on in this tutorial. Try to follow along on an image of your own. If you are struggling, no worries, I created an Action for you that does all the work. Just be sure to install the appropriate Action for your version of Photoshop (CC or CS6). - Навчання та стиль
Another Awesome! instructional tutorial Blake great job
Fabulously useful technique, not only for the oil paint filter. I'm thinking of dozens of uses for this type of tonal/luminosity separation, control, and filtration. Thanks ^e6!
Absolutely gorgeous !!
You ask about my set up. Thanks a lot for responding so quickly I am impressed. My set up is CS 6 paid monthly to Adobe. I found that unlike you I hade to chose the picker to change the colour. You said that some may have to use the Liquefy but did not say how to use it. I have lost of landscape photographs and love looking at paintings and would love to give my photos a look of a painting. I have tried lots of effects but I have not been happy with any of them.
Thank you for this tutorial and action!
Very cool Blake. Nice job👌🏼👍🏼🤘🏼
Thank you!
Thanks Blake, I think I'm finally understanding blend if sliders, I tried it on some of my floral images...WOW
Blake, thanks so much for share this amazing way using Ps tools and the free action.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
With this video I FINALLY understand the difference between Luminosity Masks and BlendIF. Thanks!
Sweet! I am glad you figured it out. Blend If is the best!
Excellent Tutorial! It's nice that you explained everything rather than just having an music audio sound track.
I know right, oh those annoy me :)
Blake, I love this tutorial, I was wondering if you have ever done or could do a tutorial using this filter or some other filter to do a painting of a portrait or would it work the same as done here?
Thanks! It would work the same way really. You may need to blur some of the lines a bit more so the paint strokes don't look like wrinkles, though. :)
Great work. thank you so much. best oil effect tutorial !
I have not had any strong inclination to us Ps's Oil Paint filter, but I always appreciate your new applications for "Blend If" - Thank you!
Question: Could you selectively apply the High Pass filter to three different zones in the same way as you demonstrated here, using "Blend If?"
Such an excellent tutorial...thanks!!
Thanks, Steven!
Thanks for sharing your know how.
You know I'm going to go back and try this now with your new blended panel
As is the case, lol
Thank you very much.Superb.Thank you for free action.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy :)
Thank you for your help, patience and time. I have loaded the action for cc but it still will not work. It runs but tells me there is a problem. I think it is because Adobe have not included the Oil Paint filter with CC. All the best Garry B
Great work. A long time ago I wanted to do something like that. But I gave up because I realized I just had no understanding of what the texture of an oil painting really looked like.
Just as a suggestion, maybe you could do something like this for water color paintings.
+Marco Ruschkowski that's a good thought too..I have been experimenting with a couple effects like this. I'll play with that too.
First off - Thanks for this video...
In a previous video, you used a solid colour layer with a clipping layer to reveal the effect of "blend if".
I'm curious to know, why in this video you chose a reveal layer within the "blend if" options box.... Thanks again... :)
ps - I didn't know blend if had such an option...
You are very welcome!There was a subscriber on UA-cam who once told me about the Color Overlay in the Layer Styles to preview Blend If. It is pure genius as you are already in the Layer Styles creating the Blend If settings.
It just helps keep the layers palette clean and makes one less layer when you save it as a PSD or Tiff. Either way they both accomplish the same task. You are a very observant one!
Hi Blake,
First of all, Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful, and I've learned a lot with them.
I have CC7, on a iMac. When I try to run the action, PS displays an msg saying that the Oil Paint plugin is not available!!!! Any Help? Thanks!
Hello Marcio,
What do you mean by CC7? Which version of Ps is that?
I love your videos. I have signed up to download this oil paint action but I can't get to a download button. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks
how to install this features in Photoshop cc 2017?
please help me
I'm not a painter but it's a nice effect! I like the tips about blend if, it's a game changer! i'm testing on everything that i know of photoshop to see how that would be affected using Blend If!
Blend If opened my mind to so many possibilities when I first got a grasp of it. the hard part is practicing it. After a few months it becomes a staple!
i'm questioning myself every time "how" and "why"!! how can i use it and why to use it... i still have a LONG path to follow in photoshop, but i feel that blend if will help me A LOT on that path!
I have downloaded your action and followed the loading instructions you gave. I double clicked CS6 and it loaded in actions but would not work I got a circle with a line through. I then went to "load action" in the action menu and loaded it . I then had two oil Painting CS6 but neither will run. All the other actions that I have work. Do you think it is because the action needs to use Paint and it will not work in my CS6?

Hello Blake, I took a closer look at your action. Can I ask why you chose to run the Oil Paint filter twice on each layer? I see that the High Pass layer is a smart object, why did you choose not to make the Oil Paint layers smart objects and instead run the filter twice? I enjoy your videos, thank you very much for posting these. Rick.
+Richard Adams running it twice on each layer makes it look more realistically painted. Running it once looks like an algorithm rather than a painters hand. It's not the best way to make a photo look like a painting, but it's good for PS.
Thank you, Blake. I'm going to have a look at how each pass of the Oil Paint can be combined into one or two smart objects. I like the flexibility of changing the Oil Paint parameters depending on the subject. Have a great day, Rick.
You could put a stop action on all of them too. Clicking the little box next to anything that says oil paint will make it stop for your parameters. I know people love them, but I am not a fan of Smart Objects. They weigh heavy on the image, especially when saving PSD files and I don't think they are really all that helpful unless you are editing video or making templates. Then Smart Objects are unbelievable.
Following your tutorials and indeed the blend if option is powerful. For the painting effect: I found it looks great when on screen but there is no printer that really supports this so it won't look like a cheap fake of a real painting. I wish there was a printer that would allow following the brush strokes and allowing more ink or less (almost 3 dimensional), Until then it is quite useless don't you think?
Apparently my video card isn't good enough to use the oil paint filter because it doesn't support Open CL. Is their am affordable video card, (between $80&$150) that supports Open CL that would let me use some of these more advanced tools in Photoshop that you would recommend?
GeForce GTX 750 Ti great for the price and does everything most Photoshop users would want it to do. Do you actually have a video card at the moment?
Yeah, I have a Radeon HD 4300/4500 series
daw...... kase karte he
I managed to find out how to change the colour overlay only to find out that the paint will not work. You did not say how to use liquify.
Subscribed. Clicked on link to download and it goes back to video. Signed up for email to unlock action and to no avail. I received an email to verify subscription and that's it.
I sent this via email.
not show oil paint option in stylize please help
Are you in CC or CS6?
Is your image 8 bit or 16 bit?
could you add another link the link you have says error
its says url not found
Come on rudis, I am a fan and I use PSElementsas host ; aslo topaz and On1. what about me?
I feel your pain, but some things you can only do in Photoshop. Topaz Impression, though, makes tons of beautiful painted images that are based on the same principles as highlights, midtones and shadows.
It is now running but tells me that the command paint is unavailable and thee is no effect to the photo.
That action was created and tested in CS6. I am not sure why it will not work. However, earlier you stated you are using CS6 paid monthly ? CS6 is a one time purchase. Are you sure you are not running Photoshop CC? I say that because you have to use the correct Action or it will not work. As you stated, I pay monthly, so I am thinking you are on the CC plan, not CS6.
Sorry I am using cc. So I will load the other one. I appreciate your help. All the best Garry
Tried downloading from your link & it just repeats the vid with 4 examples.
On the right-hand side of the video, there is a download link button (on a desktop) on mobile or tablet it may be below the video. Either way, when you enter your email you should have also received an email with the direct download link. If all of the above did not happen and you still cannot find it, please email me blake@f64academy.com
I failed at the first hurdle. I click colour overlay and can only get grey I can not change it to magenta. You need to explain things better. So frustrating .
You may need to go up to Edit > Mode > and make sure you are in RGB mode, not Greyscale.
This is the first time I have heard of anyone having the issue, so I am interested to know what is different from your setup.
For me, I fell this paint filter is an unrealistic effect. The filter can not make paint strokes in line with the subject, take a pole who would paint it across it, no you would make long strokes the length of it.
I made a way to make it look more real by using the brush on a mask on layers below that have been modified something like a low pass filter, then with a brush for the more art ones painting on the mask you are putting colour on the image, so in effect you are painting as you would with real paint..
I do learn so much from your videos! I just unsubscribed Serge R., as he stays on the same basic level with no development, in contrast to you. So thanks again Blake! :-)
That's pretty cool! I appreciate innovators :)
My oil paint is grayed out and won't do anything
+bswade007 be sure to set the mode of the image to 8 bit. I may have left that part of 😑
I see the problem now. Apparently you have to have 64 bit
I'm disappointed. There's blend if dark, blend if midtones, and blend if highlights. I want a blend if ugly. I don't want ugly in my pictures. Where is that feature? HUH? WHERE?
Haha! I could use that in my life!
