Thanks Tony. It's actually relatively simple using Photoshop 7's new brush engine.
I took the original picture and made a pattern from it. Then I created a new blank layer, set the original layer at opacity 75% (to use as tracing paper) and experimented in painting over top of the original using the pattern brush and a combination of impressionism and regular brush strokes along with photoshop's various brush tip options. It seems to work best if you put the background and foreground on separate layers because you may want to use a brush with more detail on the actual subject...
On the first example, I ran the watercolor filter and added canvas texture but in retrospect, I like the second rendition better. I think I'm going to try scanning some canvas and make a canvas pattern to use as a brush tip... Probably someone's already done that but I couldn't find one when I searched...

The results on both are very impressive. When you get a few minutes, do share a bit about both techniques. I'm sure I speak for many in wanting to know more.
Thx...

I created a copy from a luminence mask of the original photo, this was used to generate a full size pattern.
Used the healing brush in pattern mode to paint over a textured background.

I have looked through all the filters to make a photograph look like it is painted on canvas without any luck. I am using PS6 can anyone help with a suggestion?

I am working on touching up an old album cover for a friend. The album cover is actually a photograph of an oil painting.
Here's a selection from the scanned in album cover:

Hi all,
Here is a pic of a lotus blossom taken at Echo Park Lake in Los Angeles, which if you have ever been there is not the safest place in the world to go, but when the lotus are blooming, the lake is amazing. I have always liked this image because of its simplicity, I hope...01-04-2003, 06:15 AM -
This is the basic technique. The key to this painting method is that there are two slightly different layers, and you erase part of one by painting white on a black layer mask to blend them together in a splotchy sort of way to make the "painting" look. There are lots of ways to make the...01-05-2003, 04:16 AM
