| Advanced Photoshop Tutorial - A Realist Painting Effect
Travel photos are ideal to recreate as paintings, as you will see from this sample picture from All-about-Egypt of the columns at the Temple of Karnak. A free Photoshop action of this painting effect is available for download at the end of this tutorial.
Recalculate the original photo file size to 9" x 12" at 72dpi, about 1.3 megapixels. After the photo painting is finished you can bring it back up to a larger file size.
Save a copy of the original photo in the clipboard (Select All and Copy).
Open the Layers Box in the Window Menu Save the file with a new name
Select Layer Background Hide Layer 1 (click on the eye icon) Click on the right top arrow and choose Merge visible
