Archived from groups: alt>graphics>photoshop (more info?)
Hello - there are many tutorials showing how to make a photo look like
a painting, but how do you do it the other way around?

I want to make a 17thc painting look like a photo (colour or grayscale
- whichever is the most successful). Can anyone give me any tips,
tricky, or point me to a tutorial please?

The painting I want to make look like a photo is here

I wouldn't think it would be much different than retouching or restoring
an old photograph.. You might go to http://www.retouchpro.com/ and pose
your question.. There are many artists there that turn photos into
paintings and many professional retouchers and restorers that may be
more able to give you some insight to your quest.. I took a quick stab
at your sample.. is it close to what you meant?

Many thanks for this. I'll post the question on retouchpro.com as you
suggest. I took a look at the link you posted, but there was only an
image of two women walking along a street wearing hats!? I'd like to
see what you've done; can you let me have the link again?

most probably your next question will be 'how to swap faces"?
