Screenshot Paintings

[AmalahRose]

I'm sorry if this has already been done, I searched but could not find a thread like it. I remember in the beta forum there was a thread where people posted screenshots which had been made to look like paintings. I'd like to see that again.

To start off here are some I did.







I only have GIMP, so they might not look as impressive as the ones people were doing in Photoshop. :P
Here is an example of how to do it. These instructions are not set in stone, play around with them until you get the effect you prefer.

1. Increase the Brightness and Contrast each by 60
2. Go to Apply Filters > Artistic > Oilify. Set mask size to 5, exponent to 4 and make sure "Use Intensity Algorithm" is turned on.
3. Go to Apply Filters > Artistic > Cartoonify. Set mask radius to 3 and set percent black to 0.1.
4. Go to Apply Filters > Artistic > Softglow. Set glow radius to 5, brightness to 0.25 and sharpness to 0.85.
5. Go to Apply Filters > Artistic > Apply Canvas. Select "Top Right" and change depth to 2.
