Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop are both powerful tools for editing photos and videos. While Photoshop is a great tool for editing still images, Adobe Premiere Pro is more suitable for video editing. Using these tools, you can achieve a paint effect on your images and videos. This can be done by using features such as the Oil Paint filter, layers, the cut-out tool, and pen tool in Photoshop, and the adjustment layer, stylize, and brush stroke effects in Premiere Pro.

What You'll Learn
Using the cut-out tool and pen tool to draw different shapes
To create a paint effect in Photoshop, one of the methods is to use the cut-out tool and the pen tool to draw different shapes. The pen tool is located in the lower half of the Photoshop toolbar, grouped with the Shape tool, the Type tool, and the Direct Selection tool.
The pen tool allows users to create smooth and precise paths using anchor points, draw complex shapes, make intricate selections around specific parts of an image, and cut out objects with clean edges. The marks made with the pen tool are called paths. To draw a straight line, set two anchor points. To draw a curved line, add and move a third anchor point or use the Freeform Pen tool to draw lines by hand.
To cut out a hole from an image, create a new layer, then activate the Pen Tool and create a path on the canvas by adding anchor points and joining them. Convert to selection and fill it: In the Path menu, select the option to make a selection to convert the path into the selection and then fill it with any shade. Now create another layer and use the Pen Tool to draw another path with anchor points on the new layer. Convert the second path into a selection using the same process.
The cut-out tool can be used to make huge shapes to create outlines. The outline should be done first, and the work should progress from dark to light.

Creating outlines with the cut-out tool
Next, you can manually mark the outline of the figure or object you want to cut out with the Polygonal Lasso Tool. This tool can be found in the toolbar on the left-hand side of your workspace. With each mouse click, a new point will be created, and a line will be drawn from the previous point. Continue this process until you have a complete outline around the object. To finish the selection, connect the last point with the first.
Now, press "Ctrl+J" ("Cmd+J" for Mac) to automatically generate a new layer that only includes the figure you've cut out. Add another layer beneath the one you just made, using a colour that contrasts with your selection. This makes it easier to spot and correct any errors.
You can also create outlines using the Pen tool. First, hide the "Top" layer using the eye icon, then select the "Outline" layer. Choose a brush and colour for the outline by clicking on the brush tool. Select the Pen tool from the toolbar, and choose the "Paths" icon for the pen in the options bar at the top. Create a path around the image by selecting points along the image contours that the pen line will follow. To begin, click on the edge of the image at the start of an image curve. Move the pen to the end of that curve and click on the edge of the image again. A line will appear, following the path between the two points. To create a curved line, hold down the mouse button and drag it to the left or right.

Using the Oil Paint filter
The Oil Paint filter in Photoshop transforms your photo into an artistic oil painting. To use the filter, select Filter > Stylize > Oil Paint. You can adjust the following settings:
- Relief or apparent thickness of the paint, ranging from a thin coat (0) to thick, Van Gogh-style paint globs (10).
- Paintbrush-hair indentation, ranging from soft (0) to strong grooves (10).
- Incidence angle of the light (not the brushstroke), which is important when incorporating the oil painting into another scene.
- Brightness of the light source and the amount of bounce off the paint's surface.
To leverage Apple's Metal graphics acceleration framework for the Oil Paint filter on computers with AMD graphics processors running Mac OS X 10.11 and later, follow these steps:
- Select Preferences > Performance.
- Ensure that "Use Graphics Processor" is selected.
- Open the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings dialog.
- Select "Use Native Operating System GPU Acceleration."
Note that the Oil Paint filter only works with RGB colour spaces. If you're on Windows, make sure you're running a 64-bit OS with the 64-bit version of Photoshop, and that your video card driver is up to date.
While the Oil Paint filter is a great tool, it's worth noting that creating a paint effect in Photoshop can also involve a more manual process. This may include using layers, the cut-out tool, and the pen tool to draw different shapes and create shades and tones.

Using the posterize filter
The posterize filter is a great tool to achieve a paint effect in Photoshop. Posterization is a process that reduces the number of colours in an image, recreating the look of posters printed with limited colours of ink. This gives images a more painted or airbrushed appearance.
To use the posterize filter in Photoshop, start by selecting the image you want to posterize. Next, create a Smart Filter by going to the top menu and selecting 'Filter', then clicking 'Convert for Smart Filters'. This allows you to add, remove, adjust, or hide Smart Filters, giving you the flexibility to experiment without permanently altering your original image.
Once you have created the Smart Filter, go to the top menu and select 'Image', then 'Adjustments', and finally, 'Posterize'. A slider window will appear, where you can choose a number between 1 and 255, representing the number of colours that will appear in each colour channel. Moving the slider to the left decreases the number of colours, enhancing the posterization effect. For best results, choose a number between 1 and 35, as the human eye typically does not register changes above 35.
You can also use the Levels value to fine-tune the effect. Clicking on the current Levels value highlights it, and you can then use the up and down arrow keys to cycle through different values. For instance, a Levels value of 5 can create some interesting colour variations, giving a more authentic posterized appearance.
If you wish to restore the original colours of your image while retaining the posterization effect, you can change the blend mode of the Posterize adjustment layer. Simply switch the blend mode from 'Normal' to 'Luminosity', and Photoshop will limit the effect to brightness values, leaving the original colours untouched.
Additionally, if you only want to apply posterization to specific parts of your image, you can create a mask and selectively apply the filter. This allows for more precise editing, ensuring that the effect complements your composition.
The posterize filter is a versatile tool that can add a creative touch to your images. Experiment with different settings and adjustments to achieve the desired paint effect, and don't be afraid to explore other filters and techniques that Photoshop has to offer!

Drag and drop the spray paint effect on top of your video or photo layer
To create a paint effect in Photoshop, you can use layers, with each layer being a different colour. You can use the cut-out tool and pen tool to draw different shapes to create shades and tones. You can also use these tools to make outlines. It is recommended to start with the outline and work backward from dark to light colours. This technique can also be used with spray paint, but in the opposite order, so colours first.
To create a paint effect in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can follow these steps:
- Go to File -> New -> Adjustment Layer.
- Drag the adjustment layer onto your footage and extend it to fit the duration of your sequence.
- Click on the adjustment layer and select Effects.
- Go into Video Effects and select Stylize.
- Locate "Find Edges", drag and drop, and change the blend mode to multiple.
- Locate "Posterize", drag and drop, and adjust the level to 22 (this will degrade the colours).
- Click the enter key to begin rendering.
- Go back into Effects and locate the "Brush Strokes" effect.
- Drag it onto the adjustment layer and adjust the stroke length and brush size.
To add a spray paint effect in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can simply drag and drop the spray paint effect on top of your video or photo layer. From there, you can scale down and reposition the spray paint effect as desired. You can also change the colour of the spray paint by adding the "Change Colour" effect.
