January 12, 2009 By: Dexter Category: GIMP, Tutorial

Ok after posting the images had to do something.. had been feeling itchy and had to do something about it.. So here we go with another simple tutorial.. of A 3 step conversion of a photo to a canvas painting and of course using my favorite GIMP .

Step One

Take your basic image. I have taken a moon shot which I had taken recently.

I will be using IMAGE 1 as my base.

Step Two

On the image use the canvas filter: Filters => Artistc => Apply Canvas.

You should now have your image having a similar effect as in IMAGE 2.

Step 3

And finally apply cubism filter.: Filters => Artistc => Cubism.

In the cubism dialogue box: select  smaller tile size and smaller value of tile saturation

I have use tile size 0.8 and tile saturation 1.8
