Oil paint filter

[hershy314]

Felt like doing something using the Oil Paint Filter in PS, don't use it that often. Think I used it once or twice before. Started off by doing a photo manipulation, but wasn't feelin it. I applied this filter, and I liked it better.

I like the work on this.... it's like wind blown trees.

Frankly... I've used the filter only a few times.... and that was to simulate fuzzy hair or fur... ... didn't like the results on some as I remember.....

This filter you really need the right photo in order for it to work right. Even if you have the right image you are still going to do a lot of tweaking to get it just right.

Agree...

Nice one Hershy!
I like the atmosphere and the lighting in your image. This time, the oil paint filter supports the visual impression of your creation.

Here is another one I did using the filter. This time I took 3 pictures in my backyard at different exposures and combined them using merge for hdr. Did a little tweaking before applying the oil paint filter, think it came out alright.

A crazy idea, Hershey -- try selecting only the green leaves on the trees, or only the grass, and then apply the oil painting filter only to these areas. I bet you will like the results because the curly areas will contrast more effectively with the non manipulated areas.

Is this what you was talking about Tom?

Also did this one for fun

Very nice uses of the filter hershy. I think that is the only thing I miss about CS6. I went back to CS5 as I like the set up better.

I like that you tried it out so many ways. Very cool.

The oil paint filter is a bit tricky to use, doens't work on all photos. I think the last one I posted is my fav. one.....probably cause I love old Mustangs.

OMG.. So beautiful work. Keep it up!

H: "Is this what you was talking about Tom? ..."

EXACTLY! I like this version of the trees much better than the version you first posted where there are curly lines everwhere. In this version, there are some pin-sharp, normally textured areas that contrast with the alien-looking trees.

Good work.

Wow, you guys are able to do some pretty cool stuff with Ps - I'm new, and can't even get my brush to work xD
Well, pretty awesome art there ^_^

Absolutely LOVE the way these look, particularly the Mustang and how it just pops. Such a statement
