 Smoothed with PixelBender, Topaz oil paint filter and some tweaking and blend mode changes. Nice versatile starter image and great interpretations. Rita |

Riandel - Very inspirational take! Did you do the rays with Perfect Photo Suite?
Bayla - Cheery stars in a kind of ominous sky. Nice.
Rita - Really interesting interpretation - as Riandel said, very cool!

Tom, I am not Rita but . . Pixel Bender is a plug-in created by Adobe Labs. Unfortunately, it is compatible with PS CS5 only. I installed it in PS CC and it didn't work. Photoshop CS5: Oil Painting with Pixel BenderFor Elements users the best alternative is Topaz Clean. The presets in the Stylized Edges Collection mimic the effects created by Pixel Bender. |

Smoothed with PixelBender, What is PixelBender Rita? Tom, in addition to Sepiana's info (thanks, Sepiana!), I read somewhere that the Oil Filter from the PixelBender collection still exists in CC as something called Oil Painting or similar. This effect can also be achieved manually with the Smudge Tool. I believe it was blackmutt who not long ago posted a terrific image on EV that demonstrated this. I tried to imitate it, but lost patience before I was half finished. It's very slow and painstaking work. Rita |

Unfortunately, Adobe decided to remove the Oil Paint filter from Photoshop CC. Their rationale?

NOTE: Scroll down the page for a possible workaround for this filter.

I tried to imitate it, but lost patience before I was half finished. It's very slow and painstaking work. Here is a tutorial to create a painting effect using the Smudge tool. I am not sure it was the one blackmutt used though.
