For Photoshop CS6 and CC 2013, the successor Oil Paint Filter was built in to Photoshop with no additional plug-in required. The Oil Paint filter is back in Photoshop CC! Learn step-by-step how the Oil Painter filter's Brush and Lighting options make it easy to turn any photo into an oil-painted masterpiece! Written by Steve Patterson. The Oil Paint filter was first introduced as an official filter in Photoshop CS6. But for whatever reason, it disappeared in the initial release of Photoshop CC. Thankfully, as of the November 2015 Creative Cloud updates, the Oil Paint filter is back! And even though it's essentially the same filter that it was back in CS6 (which isn't a bad thing), the CC version now sports a much smaller, less intimidating dialog box that makes using it seem easier than ever. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a painter. And if you saw anything I've tried to paint, you'd be the second to admit I'm not a painter. But thanks to Photoshop and its Oil Paint filter, I don't have to be! I can still pretend I'm the next Vincent van Gogh without a shred of real-world evidence to support it. And while a Photoshopped oil painting effect may not fool any professional art dealers or ever hang on a gallery wall, turning one of your photos into an oil painting is still lots of fun, and the results can look very impressive. ![]() Since the Oil Paint filter was only recently added back to, you'll want to make sure that your copy is up to date before you continue, otherwise the filter may not be available.

The new Oil Paint filter dialog box in Photoshop CC. The Preview Window Even though Photoshop gives us a live preview of the oil painting effect within the image itself, most images these days are too big to fit entirely on the screen at their actual size. This forces us to view them at something less than the 100% zoom level, which means we're not seeing all of the pixels in the image, and that means we're not seeing a truly accurate representation of what the image looks like. Fortunately, the preview window at the top of the Oil Paint filter's dialog box gives us an easy way to view and inspect different areas of the image at that all-important 100% zoom level. Only a small section of the image can fit within the preview window, but you can easily jump to different areas just by clicking on the spot you want to inspect. When you move your mouse cursor over the image, you'll see the cursor change into a little square which represents the boundaries of the preview window.
