Introducing the ‘Ultimate Painting Effect Actions’
A set of Photoshop Actions that will turn your photos into Digital Paintings in just one click!

UPDATE (August 15th 2016): Adobe has released an update in November, ‘Photoshop CC 2015.1 (November 2015 release)’, re-introducing the Oil Filter. I have edited the actions, and they are now compatible with Photoshop CC as well. Make sure to update to the latest version of Photoshop CC.
For more info about the update, please check out this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/oil-paint-filter.html
If you have installed the new update, and you see that the Oil Filter is grayed out, please watch this video and follow the instructions: https://youtu.be/tXNhthq-MZQ

IMPORTANT! Make sure your language is set to “ENGLISH”, if your language is anything else but that, the actions will give you many errors and they are literally not going to work.

MUST READ
Make sure to use photos that have a good lighting, that are of good quality, that are not pixelated and that are at least between 1300-4000/5000 pixels.
I find that the actions give the best results on photos with this approximate size 2500-1700px, but as I have stated, they works on bigger photos too. I would not recommend using the actions on photos that have a resolution lower than 1300px.
I find that these actions work best/give the best results when the skin of the people/subjects in the photos is smooth, a bit blurry even, and clean (see the blonde girl in 2nd photo and the girl in the bath suit in the 5th photo).
Freckles sometimes give a weird result on the skin (see photo 3, where I have brushed the skin a little bit to smooth the skin on the the area where the freckles were in the original photo (previous to using the actions)

For bigger photos, if you feel that you want more effect, run the action, edit the settings and once you are satisfied, merge all the layers, create a background from your layer (Layer New Background from layer | should this method cause the actions to give errors, then proceed by saving the photo on your pc and then load it again in photoshop) and run the action again.
In the file you will download, you will also find a PSD File with a few additional Lightroom Settings, just drag the folder with the move tool (V), into the tab of the photo that you have just ran the actions on.

If you run into any issues or need any kind of support, please, do not hesitate to contact me by private message. I am always here to help and I always try to reply as fast as I can, but bear in mind that I live in Europe, so if you’re writing from other parts of the world well, chances are I will be asleep 😀 So if I do not answer immediately, that is the reason 🙂
