Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:40 pm

Watercolors are a beautiful and unique way to add artistic flair to your photos. Photoshop has several tools that can be used to turn a photo into a watercolor. Follow these steps to create your own watercolor masterpiece!

1. Start by opening the photo you want to edit in Photoshop.

2. Next, create a new layer. You can do this by clicking on the “Create a new layer” icon in the toolbar or by going to Layer > New > Layer in the menu bar.

3. Now you’ll want to add a filter to this new layer.

Go to Filter > Artistic > Watercolor. Adjust the settings to your liking – play around with the brush size, detail, and texture until you’re happy with the results.

PRO TIP: This tutorial is intended for advanced Photoshop users. Do not attempt to follow this tutorial unless you are confident in your abilities.

4. Once you’ve applied the filter, you may want to experiment with other filters or adjustment layers to get the perfect look. For example, try adding a vignette or changing the color scheme of your photo.

5. When you’re satisfied with your edits, go to File > Save As and choose JPEG or another file format from the drop-down menu. Give your file a name and click “Save.” Congratulations – you’ve successfully turned a photo into a watercolor using Photoshop!
