Photoshop Painting Effect Using Filters

[green fairy 0]

This effect is extremely easy to do. Let me show you how to make an ordinary image into a painting using only two filters:

 

1) Open your image in Photoshop. For this tutorial This effect tends to work pretty well with furniture for some reason, so I will be using this modern style image to turn into a painting looking image:

2) Go to Filter -> Artistic -> Poster Edges. You can play around with the settings if you want. This is what I used:

 

3) Now go to Filter -> Artistic -> Cutout. You can play around there too if you want, but here's what I used:

 

4) That's all! You're done! My result looks like this:

Here's another example of the effect. This time done with a little doggie:

Hope you like the effect. You should try it, it super easy. That's what I like so much about filters. You just can't mess it up

Hehe, nice. The room one looks good, but the dog one doesn't (looks like you lowered the quality of the picture).

Nice effect and good tutorial. I may have to try it on a few of my images that i am currently creating

I will have to agree with snlildude87 the effect on the dog looks really bad. You could use this effect to do animations a good flash with that. Other than that is a good and simple tutorial.keep them coming.
