I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Grey Roger thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I have just found your wonderful tutorial. Having been doing everything in PS in a more "manual" way, this takes it to another level with my Wacom tablet. I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV and shoot primarily flower and landscape images. Your tutorials are so easy to follow and learn from. Thank you!
You make it look so simple and logical. Love your low-key style, it makes Ps seem less daunting. Using Olympus and Sony, but even a phone photo should be sharp enough for a watercolor treatment. Thanks for an excellent tutorial, and I'll be watching many more.
I really enjoyed the step by step easy process of this tutorial to create a watercolor painting of my photos. Rewatched several times then, took down steps and practiced I am in the process of upgrading my photoshop skills and thought what better way than through the tutorials of Photoshop Cafe. . I have a wacom tablet...kind of use it need more lessons. I shoot with a Sony A7. Love to capture people, places and things!
Love this technique. . .I'm using Photoshop ELEMENTS (2021) and was able to do this with it. Even though I don't have Photoshop itself it's great that I can do something like this with Elements. . .Thanks for your guidance and clear explanations!
I've wanted a Wacom tablet for years, but no, I don't own one. Camera - Canon 5D - landscapes, nature, macro. I started trying to produce watercolor effects more than a dozen years ago attempting a Georgia O'Keefe type look on my flower macros, but this is the best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you so much!
I've been wanting to try doing this fir awhile. Looks easy so I'm gonna give it a try. I have a couple od different Nikon bodies and currently using a Z6II.
SUPERB tutorial. You took you time, going step-by-step, which is important to me (speaking for myself). I like taking portraits of people, and I use my cellphone to take pictures (incidentally, the camera on the phone is superb. Of course, a _real_ camera would be preferable. But I am not a professional photographer). You now have a new subscriber.
amazing, best watercolour effect I've seen, I do street, portrait, landscape, macro mostly on a canon 80D, never used a Wacom. I'm actually trying to get Edward Hoppers painting effect for urban scapes, I can do it with mobile apps but want to get the same effect with photoshop
OMG thank you so so much!!! Your tutorial is very concise, clear and on the point, and I really love your clear voice! Thank you so much for this Photoshop tutorial
Thank you so much for a great tutorial!!!!! I don't have a Wacom but rather a laptop with touchscreen and a pen. I would highly recommend having that functionality either way. Thanks again from Canada!
I mostly take nature and landscape photos, and I use a Canon 50D. I seem to mostly photograph birds, and now can't wait to try this effect on one of my photos. And I do have a Wacom Intuos Pro Small tablet. Sorry I missed this when it first was published.
Colin, I just wanted to tell you how much I like this tutorial. I use this technique all the time now, and I've been combining it with another technique from a tutorial by Serge Ramelli. Both of you guys are great! You asked what kind of photography I like to do and what kind of camera I use. I primarily do nature, landscape and wildlife photography. My camera is a Sony Cyber-Shot HX400V, a bridge camera. It has a Carl Zeis lens with a 50x zoom. My only complaint about this camera is that it puts a lot of grain in the pictures, so I have my sights set on the Nikon P900, which I already know takes great photos, as I have a sister who has one. I'm yearning to get a drawing tablet, but for now I do the best I can with a mouse, and I must say I've gotten very good at it. Still, it's not good for very precise detail, so I cannot do any actual digital drawings or paintings until I can get myself a tablet. I will probably get a Huion, as I've read some great reviews on them. Blessings to you and stay well!
I specialize in horses and shoot with Nikons. Have a W tablet also. Thanks for showing us how to get a more realistic water color effect. I try to use textures and compositing to add an artistic effect to my photography.
Another great technique for creating art! I use a Wacom Intuos for my laptop, and a Cintique on a desktop. I enjoy taking landscape/nature photos mostly, but really I love shooting just about anything. I shoot with a Canon 6D, and for aerials I use a Mavic Pro and Inspire 1.
Enjoyed the Tut. I use a Wacom. Camera nikon D4. As Rick Sammon says My speciality is not to Specialise. What takes your mood or the circumstances you find yourself in.
Yes, I have a Wacom Tablet. I like to shoot photos that tell a story and, of course, landscape. I shoot a Canon Rebel T4i. I really enjoyed this video. I used a photo of a waterfall and I think it will look wonderful printed of canvas.
I've tried a few watercolor techniques and have been somewhat successful. I like taking landscape and wildlife photos and a variety of types of photos when travelling. I use a nikon d5300. 3 different lenses..18-55 kit lens; 55-300 and a 40mm(2.8) with micro capability. I've got a wacum tablet and sort of like it. Thanks for doing this tutorial. It's so straightforward .
Love this technique, I have some photo I took that this will be great on. I use a Canon EOS R5 camera and like taking street and landscape style photos. I am a relative new follower, but I have tried other tips you shared with much success. Thank you for your channel and I hope to see more in the future
Your technique is wonderful and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing it. I enjoy landscape and travel photography. And, I use a Canon EOS R, which I love. I have had a wacom tablet in the past, but now I have a Microsoft studio with a touch screen which is even better.
Great tutorial...especially for those of us who have NO painting skills. I shoot just about anything that doesn't move...(or doesn't move fast enough) with a Canon 5D MK4. I have used Wacoms since the first one..right now, I use an Intuos and have a Bamboo for travel.
Settling in with coffee and time to listen and learn more great tips from the photoshopCafe. I've worked with several actions including editing for creating watercolors from my photos but starting from a filter and learning the process was a new path. I esp like creating the brush with the cloud effect for the soft irregular edges. Great results too! Thanks so much
Hello. I'm embarrassed to say I've been working on turning your photo into a watercolor for the best part of a day. I'm fine up to step 9, creating a brush. I've made a brush with a cloud pattern. So far so good. But when I fill the page with white and try out my cloud brush, nothing happens. I've gone over each step carefully, checked to make sure everything's as it should be, and I still can't tap the brush once, twice or three times and see a black cloud pattern appear. Please can someone help me? I feel I can't carry on to step 10 when there's something is happening that I can't do. Thanks in advance!
I really enjoyed the tutorial. I have a Wacom tablet but have never gotten comfortable with it. Would love to have a tablet with a display. Thanks for the video!
Many different views on how to go Photo to WC. Yours is very different and nice, I painted WC until my hands stopped me, Photos with Nikons now D 850. Going through phases, landscape, flowers, astro, macro esp mushrooms and always flowers. Always trying to make photos look painterly. Esp like your direction on making a brush. There are several WC brush stokes that nobody makes a brush for, Now I will.
I liked this video and the way you teach. I use PSE and am new to this tool. I like taking photos of my grandkids but want to create a watercolor effect to blur out their faces and use the images in a book. By the way, I paint in oil and have recently started to paint in watercolor as well. I have a lot to learn in PSE.
Interesting tutorial! I use a Nikon D7100 and Wacom Intuso Pro medium. I like to photograph portraits, landscapes, cats, and black and white nudes. I would like to note that if the filter gallery is disabled you have to change the image to 8 bit channel, image->mode->8 bits/channel
I just used this on an old photo of Saint Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne Australia. The outcome was amazing! Thank you so much. These days I use a Nikon D5200 with the kit lens and a tamron 70-300. I don't have a Wacum tablet but I am thinking it might be a good investment
Great tutorial, as usual. I am learning so much from your clear and informative lessons. I shoot mostly landscapes and animals with a Sony a7ll. Thanks again
Brilliant tutorial, Ive tried turning photos into paintings before without much success but will definitely try this technique now. Wacom (intuos 3). Canon 760D. Mainly landscapes.
I loved this video! The only problem I had was when towards the end you created a desaturated pale yellow in a layer. My layer remained a transparent layer with no color. To get around this I curated an adjustment layer with solid color fill and lightened that layer. I believe I achieved the same result. But can you tell me what i missed that I could do it as per your instructions? Maybe I missed a piece of instructions or missed a click I was suppose to do? I am using photoshop 2023. I’d appreciate any insight and help with that one section. Thank u
Great tutorial, finally someone I can understand! I use an Intous Tablet and I shoot wildlife, people and an occasional landscape with my Sony A7R2. Thanks again!
This might be a dumb question I’m still learning but would I be able to use the finished watercolor photo onto a t-shirt? Like print on demand t-shirts?

Colin, that was a mind-blowing tut. It did exactly what I wanted in a water color effect. Can't wait to try it out. Many thanks, Mr. C.
Lot's of bonus tips in this one.! Thank you!
Glad you like the tips!

I forgot to mention that I like to put a watercolor paper texture overlay on these to make them look even more like a real painting.
I specialize in horses and shoot with Nikons. Have a W tablet also. Thanks for showing us how to get a more realistic water color effect. I try to use textures and compositing to add an artistic effect to my photography.
Textures are great!
easy to follow! super stuff!

Thank you can't wait to try this effect. I love flower photography and impressionistic photography. Shooting with an Olympus OMD EM 1
your tutorials are GREAT! Thank you so much!
Enjoyed the Tut. I use a Wacom. Camera nikon D4. As Rick Sammon says My speciality is not to Specialise. What takes your mood or the circumstances you find yourself in.
I heard Joe McNally say that too :)
Great as always. Camera Cannon 60D Shoot mostly flowers and people. Yes Wacom tablet.
I do use a Wacom tablet. I use a Nikon D5000 to take Macro, portraits, landscapes & Architecture.
Thanks. I have just the image to apply this effect. Camera: Nikon D850, & D750. Interests: landscapes and architecture.
Can't wait to see what you do with it
Thank you! Very clever and clearly explained.
Yes, I have a Wacom Tablet. I like to shoot photos that tell a story and, of course, landscape. I shoot a Canon Rebel T4i. I really enjoyed this video. I used a photo of a waterfall and I think it will look wonderful printed of canvas.

Did you see this video in the Wacom with display? th-cam.com/video/BaqDJxTZ5K8/w-d-xo.html
Many different views on how to go Photo to WC. Yours is very different and nice, I painted WC until my hands stopped me, Photos with Nikons now D 850.

Nice work !!

Brilliant tutorial, Ive tried turning photos into paintings before without much success but will definitely try this technique now.
Wacom (intuos 3). Canon 760D. Mainly landscapes.
Good luck with it
You never disappoint, as always great tutorial with a twist. I use Nikon D750 and very satisfied and yes I use a tablet.
Photography: Landscape, Birds, Flowers, snowflakes; butterflies. Camera Canon 5DM4. Liked the tutorial
Woww, as always, I juz love the photoshop café tutorials
use Nikon D800 and wacom intuos pro medium latest. Excellent tutorial, love to see commercial applications on product shots.
Great tutorial, really helpful♥️🙏

Wacom Intuso Pro - Medium Nikon D700 & D750 - Landscapes & Nature photography
Thank you for a great tutorial. Very helpful and well explained.
So what photographic traits would you say would lend themselves well to this technique? Mid-range contrasty with good saturation?
This might be a dumb question I’m still learning but would I be able to use the finished watercolor photo onto a t-shirt? Like print on demand t-shirts?
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I use canon camera and generally take land scapes, and wild life
Well done and super easy tutorial, thank you.
I really like the watercolour effect and your tuts are great!
Using Sony A7r2 for primarily landscape. No Wacom tablet
Awesome
Very well explained Colin. I've been using a medium Wacom Intuos tablet for years.
Awesome
Wow! Great tutorial. Brilliant techniques. I were waiting for this. You have explained it so well. It was very useful. Thank u soooooooo much
I'm glad that you like it :)
I did everything EXACTLY as you instructed, but when I go to use my cloud brush over the black mask... absolutely nothing happens. Why?
uh this was awesome, thanks
Thank you for sharing! What a excellent tutorial ! So easy and effective! I have a Wacom but don't know how to use. My camara is Canon 5D IV.
Thank you so much for this! Truly helpful:)
