How does it work?

Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop

Step 2: Load the Photoshop Action and brushes

From there, the Photoshop Action will create thousands of individual paint strokes to build your artwork.

After the Action has finished creating your painting, there are various layers for you to experiment with.  

Included is a comprehensive video tutorial walking you through how to setup your Photoshop document, to how each layer generated by the Action affects your painting.

Features include

  • A simple setup. Just open your image, load the Photoshop Action and brushes. You only need to load the Action and brushes once.
  • Easy to mask out any unwanted paint strokes.
  • Re-ordering paint stroke layers will change the look of your painting.
  • Adjust the opacity of one layer to increase the overall definition in your painting.
  • Adjust the opacity of one layer to create more of a smoothed paint stroke effect.
  • Increase/decrease level of detail in areas (covered in the tutorial).
  • In-depth video tutorial. Time codes in description so you can quickly jump to points of interest.
  • Earn money by using the Photoshop Action to create art prints, NFT digital art, stock images and more.

Important to know:

  • Check you are using the English version of Photoshop to run the Action on. 
  • Check you are using a version of Photoshop that the Action supports.
  • Watch the video tutorial to ensure you have your Photoshop file setup correctly. A link to the tutorial is included in the ‘Readme.txt‘ file in the download.
  • Use high-resolution photos with the Action for the best results and to avoid errors. I highly recommend scaling your photo into the 3500px – 4500px range (at the long dimension) for the best results. Even if your photo is only 1000px at the long dimension, scale it up much larger.
  • With Adobe Creative Cloud, you can install multiple versions of Photoshop. If you like this Action but is not supported on your version of Photoshop, you can always install an additional version of Photoshop to run the Action on. Once an Action has been tested and working on a version of Photoshop, it will always work.
  • Use Jpeg images to run the Action on. Other file types such as TIFF, BMP, PSD can cause issues with Actions, as Photoshop disables various features for different file types.
