Photoshop has made some changes to the Oil Paint effects that I don’t much care for though. I’m now using the filter on a new, fast iMac so I can’t compare the processing needs exactly, but overall, it just seems more responsive and the preview is great. When I upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS6 over the weekend, I was thrilled to find that the Oil Paint filter is now a part of Photoshop! I’ve been playing around with it this week and here are my initial impressions. It was also difficult to see exactly what you were getting in the preview window. The interface was finicky and the hardware processing needs were so demanding that I had a very difficult time running it on my 4 year old iMac (I’ve since upgraded my Mac.) It got to a point where I never used it because it was so much of a hassle. (See Combining Textures And Filters In Photoshop For A Painterly Look.)Īs much as I loved the filter, it had a few problems. I usually added a Topaz Labs* filter to up the detail and contrast. I love how the Oil Paint filter enhances details especially on plants and animal fur in a soft, undulating way. The filter has several effects, but honestly, besides the Oil Paint filter, I didn’t see much use for the others. The Pixel Bender filter is a free filter that works with Adobe Photoshop CS5.
