How to turn your photos into AMAZING Paintings

so I'm going to show you how to turn your photos into paintings without picking up a paintbrush now here is exactly what I mean watch the photo boom becomes a painting and I'm going to show you how you can do the same thing with your photos and you can do it literally in one click so the goal of this presentation is to help you turn your own photos into paintings so that you can ideally print them and put them on your wall at home and as a photographer your goal especially in landscape photography is to create your own art and this technique I'm going to show you is one more tool that you're going to have to create your own Fine Art my goal for this web class is to show you the fastest and easiest way that you can turn your photos into paintings literally with one click and the results are simply amazing and I just can't wait to show you these results let me tell you how I got excited about this I have been a landscape photographer for most of my life and I am motivated by the desire to create my own fine art images that will stand out from the crowd but as we all know online photos on social media don't get nearly the same attention today that they used to a few years ago and to be honest I started getting a little bit bored with my own photography and I started to kind of lose heart and I didn't feel like getting out there into the field as much as I used to to be creative and recently I walked into a photo gallery in the city where I live and I noticed that everything on the wall in this print and Framing Gallery was a painting and then at the same time a couple who are very close to my wife and I just got home from a trip to Europe and as soon as they got home from this trip to Europe for some reason they got really excited about buying some paintings for their home and they bought four paintings they're all abstracts and they're quite excited to show them off they asked us to come over to see these paintings and they had spent two thousand dollars on these four paintings that were quite small they absolutely loved them they were like giddy over these four paintings and this made me think like am I missing something here so here's the thing is that so many consumers value paintings painted art more than they value photographic art and I think part of the reason for that is because everyone and their dog is able to take a photo with their phone and everyone has a phone so I started to think can I turn my own photos into a painting so I got our photography Academy team together and we started to research how we can turn a photo into a realistic looking painting with many different styles for you to choose from and we worked on it for months and we discovered that what we were wanting to do was actually no small task it was complicated turning a photo into a painting usually involves a highly complex series of processes inside Photoshop and as we got deeper and deeper into our research I began to see that this was not something that I was going to be able to easily teach to the rest of our community and what we needed was to create a tool so that anyone could use that tool and would be able to turn their own photos into paintings literally with just one click so that's what we did we created a brilliant piece of AI that can turn any photo into an amazing painting complete with brush strokes and textures that look incredibly realistic without touching a paintbrush and without getting complicated and Confused within Photoshop let me show you some examples and then I'm going to show you exactly how this works so this is a photo that I took of Moraine Lake so it's a great photo I love it but what would this look like if we turn it into a painting so here it is as a painting now this is using our van Gogh light painting effect and this was one of our first successes after we created our new AI tool and I was so excited about seeing this and I loved it so much I ordered a canvas print so let me show you the canvas print that I have this is uh 24 inches 24 inches wide so it's a nice canvas print here and in real life it looks absolutely fantastic I think in the with the camera maybe you can't quite see as much of the painted detail as I can when I'm seeing it in real life but what's really awesome we used a company called easycanvasprints.com and this only cost me 33 US dollars to get it printed two feet wide so we're not talking about expensive things here and because it's printed on canvas there is that natural texture in the background This truly looks like a painting and I'm really excited about it and it's definitely going on the wall uh let me show you another one get back to my screen again so this is another example it's a high resolution Panorama image of spirit Island in Jasper National Park this is one of my favorite photos of all time it's definitely one of my most sold images and I actually have this photo printed eight feet wide on aluminum at home but I wanted to see how would this look as a painting so this is a super high resolution image very very high resolution so let's convert this and here it is using the same Van Gogh light painting style applied to it and here is another painting style we call this one mid-century modern and it just has a beautiful effect like I love looking at all the the green branches on the trees on the island it just has such a beautiful art kind of effect and here's another style we call this one Van Gogh abstract so it's a more abstracty and let me show you what the first version looks like in print so I got this one done this is actually 36 inches wide now this is not the abstract version this one is called Van Gogh light and in the camera you're not quite seeing as much detail but in real life it just looks absolutely beautiful it's printed on canvas and this being 36 inches wide let me just move it over so it's a very large image this was about I think 55 US dollars to get this printed at easy canvas prints so we're talking about a relatively inexpensive uh thing that we you can do in order to create more art for your home and I am super excited about it um here's another one that I did this is the Seattle skyline and I took this one I was really happy with this photo but look at the painting when it's done in a really abstract Van Gogh style it just looks so cool and uh I'm I'm just really loving the look of of some of these here's another one for you so this is a lavender field I took this photo in France during a lightning storm but let's convert this now into a painting and here it is in the van Gogh paint style and it just looks you know it just has that art kind of look to it and um yeah here's another one this is Sunburst Mountain this is another very high resolution image and now here it is with the van Gogh light paint style applied to it looks really really nice and this one is Van Gogh abstract see how it's I'm going to back up so here's Van Gogh light and you can see there's a lot more texture and here's Van Gogh abstract correct and here is a zoom in of Van Gogh abstract just so you can have a closer look at the paint Strokes that are actually there like it just looks fantastic so would you like to see how this works would you like to see a live demo and how you can turn your own photos into paintings I am now inside Photoshop this is Adobe Photoshop and watch how easy this is I'm going to open a tab here it's called actions and what we have created what our tool is it is a Photoshop action so let's see how easy this is to do I'm going to convert this photo into a painting style called mid-century modern so all I have to do is Click one time on mid-century modern and go down to this play button right here and click play and there is my effect look at how beautiful that looks I'll just move the uh the screen out of the way like it's just such such a beautiful looking painting this this type of style but it isn't we're not limited to just one style so I'm going to do another one now I go to actions now I would like to see Van Gogh light I this is one of my favorite ones Van Gogh light so let's click on play and now we count one two three and in three seconds we have our van Gogh light image so that's looking really good and let's go with um Van Gogh abstract and just see how that looks I'll just make this fit on screen and I'll just delete the layer that I just created so now I'm starting fresh again I could go to actions and I look for the action called Van Gogh abstract I've just clicked on it so there's my first click is Select then go abstract and my second click is to click the play button and I just clicked it and it'll probably be another three four seconds and we will see the overall effect so here it is as Van Gogh abstract such a cool look it's almost like flames in a way just a really beautiful rendition of this now let's go even further so I'm going to reset and click delete and go back to actions and let's try let's see how this looks as a watercolor so I'm going to click on watercolor and then click on the play button and now the action is working let's make this a little bigger fit on screen so there's our watercolor looking nice and I'll just go back to history and click plus so that I can start over again and I'm going to delete that layer so I'm just resetting each time and let's make this bigger there we go and what else should I try I've got Bob Ross painting uh let's try Bob Ross Bob Ross painting here we go and I'll click on play on Bob Ross so what's actually happening here is that we are conducting dozens and dozens and sometimes even over a hundred different Photoshop movements Photoshop commands and we're doing them all at the same time and this Bob Ross look looks really great I'll do one more I'll just click on plus again and I will delete what I've got and let's go to actions and now I have a different collection called the classical painters or the master painters and I'm going to go to Edvard Munch and Edward Munch was one of the greats and he had a style that was very much it was a dark a very dark Style with a a lot of black tones and there it is and let's just move this out of the way so let's kind of summarize what I've just done in the in a few minutes since I started showing this to you so here we are with the mid-century modern and I kind of like it actually if you drop in the chat it would be so good for me to know out of the six that I'm about to show you right now which one is your favorite so here's number one it's mid-century modern and here's the next one which is Van Gogh light and I do like that one a lot and this one is Van Gogh abstract so all the shapes have been the detail has been removed so that's Van Gogh abstract and this one is watercolor and this one is Bob Ross and the last one that I did was Munch let me know which one that you liked the most and uh you saw how easy this was for me to do it really was one button click and just a really quick word on the installation because sometimes with installing things such as presets people would like to know how easy is it to install well it is literally a double click and these actions install themselves into Photoshop so the photo that I just created we just created a little mock-up of what it would look like on your wall at home and you know I look at this and it's like wow this is Art This truly is art that we as photographers were not limited only to photographs but we are creating art so a couple more before and afters this is a photo that I took of rice paddies in China here it is with the mid-century modern paint style applied to it it looks really cool I like it and here it is zoomed in close just so that you can see the paint Strokes just a little bit better here's another one that I shot of a pier that's close to home for me I took this photo at Sunrise and here it is in the watercolor paint style applied to it and just so you can see it a little better here it is zoomed in a little tighter looks nice it looks truly like a watercolor and when you print it on canvas you are doing the exact same thing that a painted print is done when when you're not buying an original when you're buying a print of a painting essentially the process of creating that print is identical here to what a painter would do here's another Panorama that I shot in the Italian dolomites this location in in my brutal English accent is called sasita it's called something else in Italian but it's an incredible place to visit this is a super high resolution Panorama and here is the painted effect after I applied I think I went Van Gogh abstract on this one here's the Grand Canyon I shot this at Sunset I love this photo but I also love the painting of the photo and so you can see that this tool makes it possible literally with just one click so I want to introduce you to this awesome new tool it's called oil painting transformation and there is a an instant one-click installation into Photoshop it will help you to turn your photos into paintings in just one click just what I just did live right in front of you

still produce a good image yes absolutely in fact this painting effect will help you save your photos that are not sharp because when you turn them into paintings they don't need to be as sharp to start with but they will look sharp after they're turned into a painting So are these effects just a filter no these are not a filter like on Instagram or SnapChat or Tick Tock these are high resolution effects that can transform your images into realistic high resolution paintings that can be printed in large format they are non-destructive and they can be altered or changed in Photoshop to make them work on any image what versions of Photoshop are compatible with these oil painting effects this AI painting effect package is compatible with new versions of Photoshop you need an updated version of Photoshop but you may be asking well I have Photoshop CS6 I have an old version will it still work it will work you can still install it in CS6 or an older version but you won't get 100 of the functionality out of it you'll still be able to turn your photos into paintings but there will be some features that won't work on the older versions are these high resolution enough to print yes absolutely the the resolution of your original image is going to determine the resolution of your final image does this work on portraits and on Wildlife yes absolutely and the paintings look amazing is this a monthly subscription no it is not you have lifetime access with just one payment are these effects different from what my camera can do yes this is totally different than what your camera might be able to do these are AI painting effects that we have created allow you to use your raw files or your JPEG files to create a super high resolution image in a non-destructive fashion that can be changed or altered and these will allow you to get the highest resolution paintings possible what's really cool about it is that you're in Photoshop so once you've created your painting and if you like one of the Styles you might say you know what I think I'd like to see more orange tones in this well no problem you're in Photoshop turn up the orange tones or I'd like to see it just a little bit brighter or I'd like to crop it now easy easy to do because you're in Photoshop does this work with Lightroom no you cannot have of layers and actions inside Lightroom so this has to be done within Photoshop will I be able to make prints using these painting effects yes absolutely and it's so easy you'll be able to create high resolution prints I recommend that you print them on canvas so that there's no reflection and then they'll look as realistic as possible and as close as possible to an actual painting and I've already printed six of them I showed you two and they look absolutely outstanding do these effects work with Raw photos yes absolutely I always encourage you to shoot your photos take your pictures using raw and that's how you get the best results can I edit or alter these effects yes you uh when you buy the package it comes with a course a mini course that shows you how to edit and how to alter these effects to make them look the best on your photographs are these effects an app no it is definitely not an app this is new AI technology that has been developed by the photography Academy team and they work inside Photoshop will these effects work on my iPad or will they work on my phone no they will not work on Photoshop on your iPad or your phone and the reason for that is that photoshop on your iPad or your phone is a stepped down version it's not a full featured version It's like a mobile version and you cannot use action effects in Photoshop that's on your iPad or your phone is there a discount for Prime members yes there is
