hello friends

i was trying to find a tutorial on the web about converting digital photos into oil paintings like the ones made in the 19th century but could not find any

do you think this is possible and how to do it?

I have a program called Microsoft Digital Imaging and it converts prints to all kinds of different styles. Got it on Ebay.

I just went in and played with a couple options. There are so many choices and paint brush strokes, plus all the other options. I am going to post a couple, one is done in an impressionist style, one chalk option, and another like an oil painting. Like I said there are so many editing options that I could not even begin to figure out what you would exactly want. Hope this helps and I will keep my out for the program.

hello

what i am interested in is converting some of the portraits i take with my camera into oil paintings.

I can not post one of these photos but if you go to google you will find a lot of examples of what i mean one example would be the monaliza

Do you think that photoshop can replace the program you have because i could not find it at ebay

thank you

It might. I do not have photoshop yet so am unable to tell you. I do know that it can do alot. Like I said these were just a few examples of what Micrsoft Digital does.

I just went to Ebay and found the editing programs, including this one. You need to search for digital editing programs, and Microsoft. There are others too, including the Photoshop.

If you have PS - most likely you will have a plug-in, look for plug-in library in google - there are million of them, and, I assume, it could be cheaper.

hello

i found this plug in for photoshop but it will cost 360 dollars

Corel Painter 9.0

so for sure i will not buy it

i am looking forward to see some of your converted photos you did katmouse47

i found a website that takes your photos and convert them for you but they did

not look like an oil painting but as a distorted photo with the built in filters

of photoshop

so if you have any other sujjestions please tell me

Try Artrage 2.5 It's very likely BETTER then painter in many ways ( I USED to use painter ) The best part? It's $25!

Also there is a feature intented to do exactly what you need... convert images to paintings. Import an image into the background and pull color info right from the image as you paint! Awsum.

example?
Link Agent of Evil

Software Link

PS. if you don't have a tablet this will be somewhat of a frustrating task to accomplish. Tablet is HIGHLY recommended for anything 'painty'

hello

i found that i can make oil paintings with ACD see 9

but what i really want is to make ones that are very detailed

like the drawings of the 1800s

like the ones of Napoleon for example

i want to turn photos into a work of art with its rich colors but maintain the

sharpest details so please tell me if there is such a program on the market

hello IONclad

i could not open the link you posted for the agent of evil because i do not have a flickir account

can you post it somewhere else please?

i downloaded the trial version of the program but could not work with it

and on their website they do not have an example of what it does

Could not work with it? What does that mean? I use it on three different systems and my daughter uses it also on a much older PC. Did it not function?

Here's another link.

if that doesn't work try this one.

No examples of what Artrage does?

but, like I said, without a tablet, this wouldn't be a very useful tool.

good luck.
