And that is especially true with these first two sliders.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll drag both the Stylization slider and the Cleanliness slider all the way to the right to their maximum values. This gives the painting the longest strokes and the smoothest strokes possible.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/stylization-cleanliness-sliders-max-values.jpg\" alt=\"The result with Stylization and Cleanliness at their highest settings.\" width=\"805\" height=\"599\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The result with Stylization and Cleanliness at their highest settings.<\/div>\n<p>But if I lower the Cleanliness amount, notice how the brush strokes tend to look shorter even though the Stylization slider (which controls the length of the strokes) is still at its maximum value.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/lower-cleanliness-slider.jpg\" alt=\"The oil paint effect after lowering the Cleanliness value\" width=\"803\" height=\"599\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The oil paint effect after lowering the Cleanliness value.<\/div>\n<p>If I drag Cleanliness back to the right but I lower the Stylization, the painting looks very detailed and textured even with Cleanliness (which controls the smoothness) at its highest setting.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/lower-stylization-slider.jpg\" alt=\"The oil paint effect after raising Cleanliness but lowering Stylization\" width=\"803\" height=\"597\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The oil paint effect after raising Cleanliness but lowering Stylization.<\/div>\n<p>And if I then lower the Cleanliness value as well, the texture and detail are brought out even more.

Larger values give you a wider brush.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/scale-slider-high-value.jpg\" alt=\"The Scale slider in Photoshop's Oil Paint filter.\" width=\"803\" height=\"597\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A wider brush makes the strokes more obvious.<\/div>\n<p>And smaller values give you a thinner brush.<\/p>\n<p>Larger Scale values tend to work better with high resolution images. But all of these sliders will give you different results depending on the size of your image. So if I was working with a smaller image, I would need to dial back the settings to get a similar effect.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/scale-slider-low-value.jpg\" alt=\"Decreasing the Scale value.\" width=\"805\" height=\"599\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A thinner brush makes the strokes more subtle.<\/div>\n<h3>Bristle Detail<\/h3>\n<p>The final brush slider is Bristle Detail which <strong>sharpens or softens<\/strong> the brush strokes.<\/p>\n<p>Lower values give you a softer image and higher values bring out more detail. But the effect is fairly subtle even at higher settings.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/bristle-detail-high-value.jpg\" alt=\"The Bristle Detail slider in Photoshop's Oil Paint filter\" width=\"803\" height=\"596\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Increase Bristle Detail to sharpen the effect, or decrease it to soften the brush strokes.<\/div>\n<h2 class-\"sub\">Step 6: Adjust the lighting<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve used the Brush sliders to create the main oil paint effect, use the <strong>Lighting<\/strong> options to control the direction and intensity of the imaginary light source that\u2019s shining on the painting.<\/p>\n<h3>Angle<\/h3>\n<p>The Angle option sets the <strong>direction<\/strong> of the light source. Some angles will bring out the details in the brush strokes more than others.<\/p>\n<p>You can adjust the angle either by dragging the <strong>dial<\/strong> or by using the <strong>scrubby slider<\/strong> (click and drag across the word Angle).<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/oil-paint-filter-lighting-angle.jpg\" alt=\"The Angle option in the Oil Paint filter dialog box\" width=\"803\" height=\"597\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Angle controls the direction of the light source.<\/div>\n<h3>Shine<\/h3>\n<p>And Shine controls the <strong>intensity<\/strong> of the light.

But I\u2019ll leave it on for this tutorial to make the brush strokes easier to see.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2023\/oil-paint-filter\/oil-paint-filter-lighting-off.jpg\" alt=\"The Lighting option in Photoshop's Oil Paint filter\" width=\"804\" height=\"538\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Unchecking the Lighting option.<\/div>\n<h3>Toggling the oil paint preview on and off<\/h3>\n<p>To compare the Oil Paint filter\u2019s effect with the original image, simply toggle the <strong>Preview<\/strong> option on and off using the checkbox.

I need to bring back more detail in them without affecting anything else. So what I need is a way to use different Oil Paint filter settings for different parts of the image. But how do we do that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, we can\u2019t do that using a single Oil Paint filter. But what we <em>can<\/em> do is make a copy of the filter, adjust the settings in the copy, and then combine the results from both filters into the final oil painting effect.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<h3>Step 1: Make a copy of the smart object<\/h3>\n<p>First make a copy of your smart object by pressing <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> on your keyboard (<strong>Command+J<\/strong> on a Mac).  <\/p>\n<p>The copy appears above the original.
