photo to painting
Rod O.
At the risk of sounding like advertising, FotoCanvas (a lightweight
editor that ships with ACDSee) can do this. The process uses a simple
matrix filter; there are probably other apps available.

Deep Paint, Painter come to mind for pricey alternatives.
PS already comes with a few paint filter effects.
Also various filter plug-ins for PhotoShop and other programs that accept
plugins.
So does PaintShopPro and Corel PhotoPaint, and I imagine most midlevel
photo editors. Heck, even freebies like IrfanView has a couple.

Pretty easy to do if you have basic imaging software. Here are a couple of
examples with step-by-step tutorials ...

effect it gives. It turns it into an impressionist style painting. For
most of my shots I don't want that.
What I do instead is a lot of work, but I like results.
I add a layer over the photo, and then paint over manually. I use the
color picker to pick up color from photo layer, change to 'painting'
layer and use paint brush.

for...
1) The Artistic Effects included with Paint Shop Pro.
2) Virtual Painter - a plugin by JASC for Paint Shop Pro (may work
with other programs... not sure.)
3) LucisArt - (lucisart.com)
4) Microsoft's Impressionist Plugin that was part of their Image
Composer program which was packaged with Front Page 97/98
5) Paint Alchemy - part of Xaos Tools (xaostools.com)
6) BuZZ - a plugin by Segmentis (segmentis.com)
7) Paint Engine from Fastastic Machines (fantasticmachines.com)
I have used the above to create "paintings" from my photos and other
pictures downloaded from the net and even captured off of video/DVD.
My best one is a 2 foot by 4 foot "painting" that now hangs on my
wall.
Hope this helps.

I 'painted' this picture using a program called GIMP under Linux with the painting and
canvas filters:

GIMP was recently ported to Windows, and it works not all that bad (I've used it under
both Operating systems). It isn't a lightweight image editor though.. It's about as
functional as the full blown version of PhotoShop. The price is right however... It's
free.

haven't seen GIMP!
The set of tools is really comprehensive and for casual photo editing is more than enough,
but running it on anything less than 2GHz machine is a big ask.
For example, changing color balance on a 2560x1920 photo takes about 8s on my 500MHz PC.
Photoshop does this in real time. But for the price it's an impressive package.

There have been some good suggestions on this thread -- if you're interested
in one mentioned, Painter, there is a small version called Painter Classic
which is much much cheaper than the full version.

Has anyone got a commercial inkjet printer (saddle type) to print on canvas
or similar fabric ?
Sleuth
they seem to come in two varieties
One type will actually "transform" the picture into a painting while
the other type (including Impressionist) seems to just blob brush
strokes of paint on top of the picture. Maybe I'm not using them
right, but the latter doesn't produce very good results.
Any advice?
Thank you all.

That's one of the beauties of having so many choices;
You can try out different ones, and choose the one(s) that you like.

That's the type of printer they use. It's an HP.
