0:02:12.000,0:02:16.470
exactly the same as the oil paint filter

0:02:14.160,0:02:19.260
but some of them will still give you an

0:02:16.470,0:02:20.400

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
I'm going to show you how to quickly

0:00:12.980,0:00:15.950
transform your landscape photographs

0:00:15.950,0:00:20.670
into the look of impressionist paintings.
You can also apply it to your other

0:00:20.670,0:00:22.090
photographs, as well

0:00:22.090,0:00:26.170
For the color palette, we'll use the
impressionist painting,

0:00:26.170,0:00:31.310
"Sunset in Venice" by Claude Monet.
You can download it from the link I provided

0:00:31.310,0:00:34.390
located in the video description or
project files.

0:00:34.390,0:00:40.000
Open a photo you'd like to use.
We need to resize it for the best results.

0:00:40.000,0:00:43.550
Go to "Image" and "Image Size".

0:00:43.550,0:00:47.500
Make the Resolution: 150 pixels per inch

0:00:47.500,0:00:50.729
and the Height: 720 pixels.

0:00:50.729,0:00:55.720
Since the Height and Width are linked,
the Width will change to another amount.

0:00:55.720,0:00:59.440
To fit it onto your screen,

0:00:59.440,0:01:03.260
press Ctrl + 0 on a PC or Cmd + 0

0:01:03.260,0:01:06.850
on a Mac. Make two copies of your

0:01:06.850,0:01:10.150
image by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J

0:01:10.150,0:01:13.829
twice. Go to Image,

0:01:13.829,0:01:20.189
Adjustments and Match Color.
Make the Luminance and Color Intensity: 100

0:01:20.189,0:01:23.890
and the Fade: 0. Open

0:01:23.890,0:01:28.590
Source and choose "Monet". Then click OK.

0:01:28.590,0:01:32.560
Next, we'll add an impressionist style texture.

0:01:32.560,0:01:36.289
Go to Filter, Pixelate

0:01:36.289,0:01:40.060
and Pointillize. Make the Cell Size

0:01:40.060,0:01:45.530
3. Reduce its Opacity to 50%

0:01:45.530,0:01:48.759
and click off the eyeball to hide the layer.

0:01:48.759,0:01:52.950
Click on the thumbnail of the middle
layer to make it active

0:01:52.950,0:01:56.280
and go to Filter and Oil Paint.

0:01:56.280,0:02:00.100
If you have CS5,
you can go to the Adobe site

0:02:00.100,0:02:04.549
and download "Pixel Bender",
which is similar to the Oil Paint filter

0:02:04.549,0:02:08.240
or you can go to Filter, Artistic

0:02:08.240,0:02:13.390
and experiment with those filters. The
results won't be exactly the same as the

0:02:13.390,0:02:14.480
Oil Paint filter,

0:02:14.480,0:02:17.620
but some of them will still give you an
impressionist look.

0:02:17.620,0:02:22.740
Once the Oil Paint filter opens,
make the Stylization: 10...

0:02:22.740,0:02:26.450
the Cleanliness: 2... slide the Scale

0:02:26.450,0:02:29.490
all the way to the left
and the Bristle Detail

0:02:29.490,0:02:33.550
all the way to the right.
The Angular Direction is irrelevant

0:02:33.550,0:02:40.060
since the Shine is zero. As before,

0:02:40.060,0:02:44.540
go to Image, Adjustments and Match Color.

0:02:44.540,0:02:48.830
Make the Source image "Monet"
and click OK.

0:02:48.830,0:02:52.070
Invoke "Auto-Tone"

0:02:52.070,0:02:56.260
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + L and then

0:02:56.260,0:02:59.270
"Auto-Levels" by pressing Ctrl + Alt + L

0:02:59.270,0:03:02.800
on a PC or Cmd + Opt + L

0:03:02.800,0:03:07.900
on a Mac.
Then, click OK. To see the final result,

0:03:07.900,0:03:12.650
make your top layer visible.
If you feel a color is too

0:03:12.650,0:03:16.900
vibrant, use your Sponge Tool
to desaturate the color.

0:03:16.900,0:03:20.100
To increase or decrease the brush size,

0:03:20.100,0:03:23.600
press you're right or left arrow keys
on your keyboard.

0:03:23.600,0:03:28.070
Make sure the Flow is 100%.

0:03:28.070,0:03:31.580
Let's say you want to desaturate
the red colors

0:03:31.580,0:03:34.860
in this area. Just brush over those areas.

0:03:34.860,0:03:38.670
When I toggle back-and-forth,

0:03:38.670,0:03:42.750
you can see the difference

0:03:42.750,0:03:45.450
you can see the difference. Have fun
transforming your outdoor photos

0:03:45.450,0:03:48.799
into the look of beautiful, impressionist
paintings.
