Learn how to turn a photo into a painting in Photoshop. By using the Pattern Stamp Tool we can create a painting effect on the canvas. Because
in addition to having an impression option, the Pattern Stamp Tool also
has patterns with a canvas-like texture that we can apply. The first step that must be done is to define our photo into a pattern. Then using the brushes that Photoshop has we can create effects such as painting brush strokes.
1. Open the photo file that you want to edit into a painting
