Photo-Based Art - - Photoshop action: Paint (posted by OhThatGirl2001)

Now that I have your attention (he he)... I thought I would share with you a wonderful Action I found on Adobe Exchange. The Atn is called Paint by unknown. Put simply - it does a wonderful job of taking a photo and transforming it into a painting. I feel it could use some tweaking... but will keep you posted with whatever I've come up with.

So, give it a try. I've attached the action in a zipped file and will post a before and after on a seperate post.

Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing.
For almost a month I have been trying to achieve a watercolor effect I saw in the PC Photo Magazine. Now I don't have to. This action is very effective.

Thanks, I have no artistic talent whatsoever. This may be just what I need,
