How Do I Create a Painterly Effect in Photoshop?

There are a few things you need to do in order to create a painterly effect in Photoshop. First, you need to make sure that your image is high resolution. This means that it should be at least 300 DPI. If it's not, you can convert it by going to Image > Image Size and changing the resolution.

Once you've done that, go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Add a little bit of noise - just enough so that it's noticeable, but not too much that it looks grainy.

Next, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Again, add just a little bit of blur - enough to soften the image, but not so much that it looks blurry.

Now go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and play around with the levels until you're happy with the look of the image.

Finally, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation and play with the hue and saturation until you're happy with the colors in the image.

And that's it! Those are the steps you need to take in order to create a painterly effect in Photoshop.
