Illustration Photo Effect for Photoshop

How does it work?

You simply open your photo in Photoshop, load the Photoshop Action and press play!

The Photoshop Action has been tested and working with Photoshop CC 2015.5.1 and above.

Make sure you are using the English version of Photoshop to run the Action on. All Sevenstyles Actions will only work in the English version of Photoshop.

The Photoshop Action uses the Oil Paint filter, which comes standard with versions the Action is compatible with (CC 2015.5.1 and above). Ensure it is active in your Photoshop by opening up a photo in Photoshop and checking that the Oil Paint filter is active under the menu “Filter > Stylize“.

If the Oil Paint filter is greyed out for you, go to Photoshop menu > Preferences > Performance > Advanced Settings. Make sure “Use OpenCL” is checked. If it is greyed out, then it means your version of OpenCL is not supported and that is the reason of Oil Paint filter being greyed out.
