7/6/2023 0 Comments Save files topaz studio 2We repeat the same steps from the rough filter layer but this time name it ‘Medium’. Keep painting until you are happy with the results. Paint white where you want this rough painted effect to appear or paint with black to remove this effect. Next it is time to start painting on the mask of this filter in the layers pane. The ‘Color’ and ‘Lighting’ sections I keep at their default values and the ‘Textures’ section needs to be set to zero.įor your convenience you can save this filter as an effect so you can easily apply this effect again on the next work you will create. By raising both the spill and the smudge I play around with the contrast and structure of the strokes but usually a Rough layer in my work will have a low contrast softer look with softly structures brush strokes. The ‘Spill’ slider also raises contrast and structure of the strokes, so I raised it just slightly and the ‘Smudge’ slider blurs the brush strokes. A Rough layer for a portrait painting for instance I will use longer and wider brushes. The ‘Stroke Width’ and ‘Stroke Length’ I kept at 0.00 but this will be different for all images depending on the image type. I slightly raised the ‘Stroke Color Variation’ a little to bring a little more differences in the colours. Also a very nice touch later on in this tutorial. By changing the ‘Stroke Rotation’ and ‘Rotation Variation’ you change the shape of the strokes. Raising the ‘Paint Volume’ slider will give a more saturated and structured image I like very much but not at this stage of the painting. Lowering this slider will make a much softer effect. Impression stroke settingsĪs you can see I raised the ‘Paint Opacity’ slightly to make sure the brush strokes will be a little bit sharper or have more contrast. I will show you my settings for this image.įor a rough painted version I use a squar-ish brushstroke with a low number of strokes. Make sure to turn of textures (last option) but feel free to play around to get the best result that best suits your taste. In this step we have to create a rough painted version of the image. In the Rough layer I use an Impression filter without textures (check if it is turned down when you scroll down the adjustments plane). Next it is time to create a Rough painted layer similar as how I use this in the Photoshop version of this tutorial. I usually pick a value between 30 and 60 depending of the type of image I am working with. Next I create a base layer version of the painting by adding a new Simplify filter layer.ĭial up the ‘Simplify Size’ slider until you have lost all small details. The glow creates a softer contrast around the harder edges while also increasing the local contrast to start with the painting. The Glow filter is set to ‘Light’, the strength to 0.43 and the rest of the sliders you can lookup in the screenshot on this page. Feel free to publish your result but I would very much like it if you give attribution or a link to this tutorial.Īfter loading up the file you want to work with I started out by using a glow filter on the dark areas of the photo by using the luminance mask of Studio 2. JPG file in Photoshop (as a smart object if you prefer). If you want to follow along with the same photograph I am using you can download the file here. I already use this as a plug-in from Photoshop, so it was a small step trying to make art using just this piece of software. That is why I tried to create a work similar to how I make them using Photoshop but using the software Studio 2 from Topaz Labs (discount code at the bottom of this page). I use Photoshop on every work I make extensively so the subscription is a no brainer.īut I know it still costs a lot of money to pay for a subscription when you are not often using the software of just use it as a hobby. For me the subscription model is a great way to get all the latest versions and features. Before the existence of the subscription model I owned a copy of Photoshop. I subscribed to the photographers subscription, combining Adobe Photoshop cc and Adobe Lightroom cc. Using Adobe Photoshop cc needs a subscription. If you want to do this faster and easier I also published a tutorial using Adobe Photoshop cc in combination with Topaz Studio 2 and an even easier method using Photoshop Actions. The most time consuming way to do this is to paint. Earlier I published a tutorial on how to turn any photograph into a digital painting using Adobe Photoshop cc.
