Photoshop processes photos into oil painting effects

Source: PS Alliance Author: Sener
This tutorial introduces the production of an oil painting-like effect. First, use the woodcut effect in the filter to adjust the corner details of the object in the picture, and then use a brush stroke to create a smear effect. Finally, use the Topaz filter to sharpen it. There are many production methods and this tutorial is just a reference. I hope you can come up with a better method!
