0:00:42.899,0:00:47.910
so painted photoshop action we're going

0:00:44.879,0:00:50.460
to be using today and just go ahead and

0:00:47.910,0:00:53.280

0:00:55.079,0:01:00.120
and click download for trial use and it

0:00:57.750,0:01:02.579
will download the zip folder like this

0:01:00.120,0:01:05.670
and you can just double-click to extract

0:01:02.579,0:01:08.250
that and you'll see there's a folder and

0:01:05.670,0:01:11.970
in that folder we have a few things so

0:01:08.250,0:01:14.369
we have a manual and we've got some

0:01:11.970,0:01:16.530
instructions some tutorial videos so

0:01:14.369,0:01:20.009
that's really helpful and of course we

0:01:16.530,0:01:22.229
have the so painted file itself so this

0:01:20.009,0:01:24.210
is a dot etienne file at some action

0:01:22.229,0:01:26.159
file in photoshop and you can double

0:01:24.210,0:01:28.409
click on this to install that action or

0:01:26.159,0:01:30.630
you can go into photoshop go to your

0:01:28.409,0:01:33.960
actions panel and you can get to there

0:01:30.630,0:01:35.850
from window down to actions and then

0:01:33.960,0:01:38.579
from the top right you can go down to

0:01:35.850,0:01:40.799
load actions and then just navigate to

0:01:38.579,0:01:43.020
that file and then it will install that

0:01:40.799,0:01:45.720
file here you can see so painted is

0:01:43.020,0:01:47.880
listed and the great thing about using

0:01:45.720,0:01:49.619
these actions to create these effects is

0:01:47.880,0:01:51.960
that these are quite complicated effects

0:01:49.619,0:01:54.479
and you can create them within seconds

0:01:51.960,0:01:56.130
just by installing this action and you

0:01:54.479,0:01:59.100
get some options as well so you have low

0:01:56.130,0:02:00.630
medium to low medium medium to strong

0:01:59.100,0:02:03.329
strong and then you get some extra

0:02:00.630,0:02:05.969
effects as well and essentially this is

0:02:03.329,0:02:08.489
the strength of the painted effect that

0:02:05.969,0:02:10.349
we're going to be using so if we select

0:02:08.489,0:02:12.690
strong for example it's going to look

0:02:10.349,0:02:13.720
really painted and if we use low it will

0:02:12.690,0:02:15.790
be a bit more

0:02:13.720,0:02:18.640
cool for this tutorial we're going to go

0:02:15.790,0:02:20.710
for medium so I've opened up my image

0:02:18.640,0:02:22.810
here it's currently flattened as a

0:02:20.710,0:02:25.000
background layer if you don't know how

0:02:22.810,0:02:28.090
to flatten your whole composition into

0:02:25.000,0:02:29.920
one single layer and I'll show you so

0:02:28.090,0:02:32.230
we've got some different layers here

0:02:29.920,0:02:33.730
just get up to layer at the top and then

0:02:32.230,0:02:36.100
down all the way to the bottom to

0:02:33.730,0:02:37.630
flatten image and it'll just flatten

0:02:36.100,0:02:40.270
that into a single layer called

0:02:37.630,0:02:42.550
background that is now locked so with

0:02:40.270,0:02:46.060
that selected open up your actions panel

0:02:42.550,0:02:49.090
and select one of the so painted effects

0:02:46.060,0:02:51.010
so I'm going to go for medium and simply

0:02:49.090,0:02:53.650
navigate down to the bottom and select

0:02:51.010,0:02:55.180
the play icon and depending on the power

0:02:53.650,0:02:57.310
of your computer it might take a few

0:02:55.180,0:02:58.930
seconds to a few minutes while it kind

0:02:57.310,0:03:01.510
of runs through all of the different

0:02:58.930,0:03:03.520
steps involved in that action to create

0:03:01.510,0:03:04.870
this effect and the great thing about

0:03:03.520,0:03:06.790
this as well as you'll see in a minute

0:03:04.870,0:03:09.070
is that it not only creates the effect

0:03:06.790,0:03:11.470
but it lays everything nicely as well so

0:03:09.070,0:03:14.680
we concern certain elements of the

0:03:11.470,0:03:16.750
effect on and off as we like there we go

0:03:14.680,0:03:20.769
so at the end you'll see render complete

0:03:16.750,0:03:22.900
and just click stop and we now have how

0:03:20.769,0:03:26.110
awesome painted effect perhaps that you

0:03:22.900,0:03:28.090
love this this is so cool so if we

0:03:26.110,0:03:30.519
switch over from our actions panel to

0:03:28.090,0:03:32.350
our layers panel we can see that it's

0:03:30.519,0:03:35.170
layered it up like so so we have our

0:03:32.350,0:03:37.120
original image here and I can turn on

0:03:35.170,0:03:39.010
the painted medium effect remember

0:03:37.120,0:03:41.650
that's the medium setting that we chose

0:03:39.010,0:03:44.410
at the beginning and you can see the

0:03:41.650,0:03:45.730
painted effect in all its glory and if

0:03:44.410,0:03:48.580
you click this drop-down we get a few

0:03:45.730,0:03:50.739
extra options so we can turn off all of

0:03:48.580,0:03:52.720
these settings here everything in the

0:03:50.739,0:03:55.690
green folder is related to the painted

0:03:52.720,0:03:57.400
effect and we can turn on smooth painted

0:03:55.690,0:03:59.530
effect a little bit more subtle

0:03:57.400,0:04:01.510
absolutely love this it's really subtle

0:03:59.530,0:04:02.680
it doesn't quite the like a photo but it

0:04:01.510,0:04:04.810
doesn't look like a painting either it's

0:04:02.680,0:04:07.450
somewhere in between we've got light

0:04:04.810,0:04:10.150
details to a few extra details around

0:04:07.450,0:04:12.760
the eyes and the hair there or we can

0:04:10.150,0:04:15.519
turn on the main painted effect and we

0:04:12.760,0:04:18.459
get the full shebang the full effect in

0:04:15.519,0:04:20.169
all its glory and there we go that's how

0:04:18.459,0:04:22.360
to use these so painted action in

0:04:20.169,0:04:23.560
