Wedding Photos into Oil Paintings? $35?
co...@my-dejanews.com
can turn a wedding photo or any other type of photo into a digital oil
painting on real canvas for a very reasonable price, complete with brush
stroke accents and everything. Unfortunately I didn't click the banner (or
link, I can't remember which) when I had the chance (dumb, dumb, dumb)!
Anyway, I'd like to have a photo from my upcoming wedding made into a digital
painting and I am looking for any information concerning this type of thing.
I am not interested in only putting our photo on canvas. I know that's
available too, but I'd actually like a simulated oil painting of my wedding
photo on canvas.
Any information would be appreciated. Please post any replies here. Thanks

There is a pretty popular website that does the kind of thing you're looking
for and the end result is as close to the real thing as I've seen anywhere.
They are reported to be the best at this sort of thing.
This company specializes in this type of thing and it is the only thing they
do. They have several partnerships with other major photo related websites
and are extremely reputable.
You can even order via credit card online and upload your photo in a secure
environment (SSL"Secure Socet Layer" technology is used on the site so all
your sensitive info and your photos are completely save), or you can mail in
your order with the form they supply online.
There is a samples section with a pretty fair array of different things that
can be done to any photo. Look around of course, but I think once you see
their samples... well, hope this helps.

Sorry for the omission!

wedding pictures into the software and modify them with the "artistic -
brush stroke" option.
Of course they'd need a printer that could print out the size picture that
you want. (I don't know if places like Kinko's can print large pictures off
a disk)

They can -- not necessarily Kinko's, but a lot of print shops will print
poster-sized from a disk. You start with an image close to normal paper
size and just tell the computer how to scale it up to the desired size.
The question with poster-sized printers is whether the printer will
reproduce the oil-brush texture accurately. In my experience running the
same file on a normal color laser printer and on a poster-sized color
printer, the poster-sized printer gives more saturation to the colors
and seems to "flatten" some of the photos.
While I have my suspicions about the original posting as a vendor's
scam, there *is* actually a difference in quality with the
professionally done transfers to "oil painting." There is some rather
expensive printing equipment that gives output that looks very real
(until you notice that the "brush strokes" have nothing to do with the
colors -- so it's great for reproducing REAL oils, where the strokes
match). It was demonstrated at the St. Paul Art Crawl a couple of years
ago.
