Introduction
The process of converting the normal image to an oil painting is one of the major works done by the multimedia designers. This process involves a lot of steps and takes up a lot of time. To convert a normal image to oil paint, you have to make many changes to the properties of the image, sharpness of the image and the colour correction of the image. It's not so easy to remember all the steps and adjustment values. However, you only need to use a single action in photoshop to perform these processes. In this article, we will discuss converting a normal image into an oil painting in Photoshop.
About Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is a proprietary software by Adobe used to edit the images and make the front end for software. Adobe provides regular updates to this software to improve the productivity and security of their software. It is used by both the designers and the developers. Designers use it to create some magnificent designs, and the developers use it to make their software’s front end the most attractive one. Here, I am using Adobe Photoshop CC 2020, which is the latest version of Photoshop. But the steps and procedures are the same for all versions of Adobe Photoshop. You can download Photoshop by clicking
here. Adobe will detect your system configuration and the version supported for your system begins to download automatically.
Actions in Photoshop
Actions in Photoshop are a set of processes that are written previously for the purpose of doing a process automatically. You need to load the image you need to edit, then load the action file and click the run button. The action file starts to execute, and the image starts to edit. After that, you will get the rendered image as output, which is edited based on your action.
Steps
First, you need to install Adobe Photoshop on your System. Open Photoshop.
Then, you need to load the image that you want to convert to an oil painting.
Then open the action panel in the corner of the window. If it is not visible, you can open it by clicking the Window menu and then you can choose the action from that.
You can load the action file given by me below into Photoshop by clicking the menu button available at the top of the action menu. Choose the load action option, then load the action file I gave from the location you stored it.
After loading the image, you can see the action file at the bottom of the actions list.
In the oil painting menu, choose the one based on your image size and attributes.
Then click the play button at the bottom of the action list.
The process starts to execute and the images start to edit.
Wait for some time. After completion of the process, the final image is rendered.
In the layers section, you will see the layers added to the image. You can choose the required changes for the image and then you can save it.
Conclusion
There are a lot of action files like this. You can download these files from the internet and then use them based on your requirements. I attached the action file used by me for editing so that you can download it and use it. I hope you're able to make use of this article!
