How do I get a painting / drawing effect?


Recommended Posts

Attached is a photo from the Hasselblad contest. I am sure photoshop was used but can someone give me some suggestions for reproducing this effect? IT looks like art rather than a photo. I see some blurr in there but that is not the entire story

Thanks in advance

Depending on the photo motive that's not very difficult, here is a night shot of a well know place in town ...

... and then some applied adjustments ...

... and then tweak it further ...

The way to get such an effect is overall to lower contrast (say -100%), enhance shadows (say +100%), reduce some color hues (cyan/blue/magenta about -35%) and add some slightly vibrance. - You can also apply selective color adjustments for certain colors of the respective image.

Or why not ask the photographer/editor how it was achieved?

 

Actually looking over some of the Hasselblad Masters there appears to be a style theme with a lot of the photographers.

The net will probably tell you much better here how to generally accomplish this ...

... so the above two videos (** especially the second one - part 2) will show you how to do this, you can adopt and take over the used techniques to AP to get such results.
