In this tutorial, we’re going to take a photograph and turn it into an image resembling an expressionist style painting. This technique works best on photos comprised of simple shapes and colors, like this bowl of fruit, for instance.
To start off, we need to create three duplicates of our background layer, so hit Ctrl+J 3 times. Go back to the Layers palette and name these layers, from the top one down, “line,” “shape,” and “texture.” Now click on the eye next to the thumbnail for the “shape” and “line” layers to hide them.
Select your texture layer and go to Image – Adjust – Channel Mixer. Check the box for “Monochrome” and hit OK.
Now that you’ve done this, go up to Filter – Texture – Texturizer and apply the following settings.
Now set the layer mode for the “texture” layer to “Overlay.”
Next, click on the eye next to the “shape” layer to make it visible and select that layer. Now go to Filter – Artistic – Cutout and apply the following settings.
Change the layer mode to “Multiply” and lower the opacity to 60^
Your photo should now look like this:
Next, make the “line” layer and select it. Now go up to Filter – Blur – Smart Blur and apply the following settings.
Click OK, then hit Ctrl+I to invert the colors and set the layer mode to “Multiply” to finish off the manipulation.
Hope you enjoy it & learn something new from this tutorial.
Thank you…
