Transforming a Photo into a Painting with Photoshop
Author: John Derry

Learn to think like a painter in Transforming a Photo into a
Painting with Photoshop and render images from photographs that
look like they were created with oils or acrylics, using the
latest digital artist's tools. Author and artist John Derry
introduces the process of interpreting a photograph into a
painted work of art. He begins by explaining his system of
visual vocabularies, which describe how to replace the elements
of an image with expressive painterly qualities, and also shares
the custom brush sets and actions he uses to achieve these
results in Photoshop. The course also covers working with
filters, layers, effects, and more to add further detail and
texture. Exercise files are included with the course.

Topics include:
* Understanding that resolution is in the brush strokes
* Understanding the subject
* Removing lens distortions
* Using the traditional paint color swatch set
* Making shadow and highlight adjustments
* Simplifying details with filters and Smart Blur
* Cloning layers
* Using custom actions
* Working with canvas texture
* Creating physical surface texture effects
