The Wow! book CD has a couple of actions included that do something very
similar to this ... might be worth a look.

Or, you could try the "Oil Pastel" action that comes free on your
Photoshop CD. The action pops-up dialog boxes to allow adjustment to
the process along the way, and it's easy to dissect the action if you
want to modify it.

Brad the Dog-What's up-Umm There are a couple of ways to do this but it depends
on your own personal preferences for what a soft oil painting look looks like.
Basics to this type of look come from experimenting with three different types
of filters they are: Rough pastels, (Under Artisitc Filter) Angled Strokes,
(Under Brush Stroke Filter), and most importantly Gaussian Blur, (Under Blur
Filter). Now this will take a little bit of experimenting but you can get a look
and feel that you're comfortable with and then when you get a look that you
like-write down the exact steps that you used with all the variables (ie.the
radius of the gaussian blur, etc). If you do this than you can perform an
"ACTION" command that will perform the same steps for every photo relatively
quickly. Check your help options out in photoshop to learn more about "actions."
Hey good luck and most importantly-have fun!
