I know how I’d do it in Painter (I’d choose a paper/canvas which then everything is applied upon) but it is completely different and though I think I know the answer and the results I probably don’t… how do I simulate the canvas texture of an ‘old master’ or other canvas based painting.
(my understanding is that I have to modify the brush (tip?) choose a pattern and scale and then even a mode.
Perhaps there is a way (with a filter? or something) to apply a ‘canvas’ to an entire image after (or as) painting?
Sure, just put every layer into a group and add an alpha mask to that group, then give that alpha mask a canvas-y texture in black and white. That’s it.
(Use any brushes you want for it, or take a photo of a canvas surface and increase contrast, or find some photo of a canvas online…it just has to have high contrast and suitable for the picture)
have you tried phong bumpmap filter then make layer bumpmap blend mode?
what i just discovered is i make a layer and fill it with lots of brush strokes then > I use this brush< and blend it all up.
then phong filter looks like a canvas with the bumpmap blend mode.
actually just fill canvas with pattern them phong works too XD
after phong you can color to alpha too, so it does not darken everything
here i set the color to alpha phong (used a new visible layer) to hard mix photshop.
