Make a photo into a painting

[davev]

There is a plugin called Pixel Bender made for CS5.
I've been using it for a short time, and I've been having a ball with it.
Very easy to use, and I think some fun results.

The badlands.

Mesa Arch.

Dead Horse Point.

Brodie.

Stella.

and finally, Foggy Sunrise.

If you have CS5, give it a try.

Wow, I have to say it that you have done a great job turning photos in to painting. Can you share some ideas that how you have done it so perfectly.

He did, in his post. Try the plugin: "plugin called Pixel Bender made for CS5".

Besides, since this thread is TWO YEARS OLD, and the OP hasn't posted anything at all since December of 2010, I think it's unlikely he'll be adding any more insight to this thread.

Several years ago when Sx-70 polariod film was no longer available I tried using the liquid filter to give a similar look to images. That was long before cs5,

Use plastic wrap first then liquid filter. It was fun but i was never happy with the color palate, just didn't come close to sx-70 film
