Hey, all.
I have a series of portraits I took recently, and am experimenting with effects which could make them look more interesting. I’ve used Diffuse Glow, and Texturizer with the Canvas texture, to some pleasing effect.
I am trying to find a good technique for giving a photograph a ‘painted’ effect, to make it appear as if it were an oil or watercolor painting. The built-in filters alone (CS2) aren’t quite doing it for me as yet, and I haven’t developed the ‘instinct’ with PS as yet to be able to see how these filters could be effectively used with layers or other filters to provide the desired effect.
I did find this tutorial today, which might prove interesting:

I’ve Googled for Photoshop Painting Tutorial, and most of the results are techniques for painting, not transforming a photo _into_ a painting.
I’m hoping some kind folks might have some decent examples flagged somewhere, for me to peruse…
Many thanks in advance!
