I cannot find the oil paint filter anymore in the recent version, it is not hidden in the paint galleries. I hope that Adobe did include it otherwise i cant use the updates anymore....

      Hello, it is not available anymore in CC(2014) hence why it is installed side by side to CC.

      The info was posted a few months ago: http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2014/04/photoshop-spring-cleaning.html

      Hi there!

      I too would like to say how much I enjoyed Oil Painting.

      I wouldn't use it every week, but it was a great asset for a certain stylistic approach.

      One of our top selling tees for the season used it, to give a baroque, hand painted aesthetic. I'm not saying it would have sold less without it, but it was a pass of texture and stylisation that I was glad to have and really suited the concept I was going for.

      Please, PLEASE bring it back Adobe and I'll love you forever

      XOXOXOO

      Really Adobe? Really?  You just removed the oil paint filter in PS?     It was the single most useful filter (to me) and you just removed it without adding a viable alternate ?  Hel-lo?     I used that for all kinds of things, it smoothed out grain, and added a final polish to a finished work.   C'mon Adobe!   Why you gotta be like dat?

      I had the chill water splash just today....

      One of my main areas of work is paintography, so the Oil Paint filter was a main tool for my line of work, upgraded to 2014, now i have a lot of nails but no hammer.... this is plain outtrageous!

        Keep posting these comments.  Adobe DOES read these forums.

          I am concerned that no one from Adobe is addressing this issue of the disappearing oilPaint filter?

          Dear ADOBE

          Can you provide a plugin? Are you working on it? Can you share that with us? Please?

            It not an issue of a mysterious disappearing oil paint filter.  Adobe removed the feature it was done during their spring clean up. No more messy oil paint. The removal was not accidental it was a deliberate removal.

            (Posted last week, somehow didn't go right through ...)

            I like the boat analogy. And yes, the Paint filter in the old PS is indeed a lifeboat for me, currently. A lifeboat that's losing air quickly. How many version can I keep installed at a time? It's alread 3 now.

            @LauraMacky Thanks for mentioning Topaz Impression - looks very cool indeed, and at $99 it's not super expensive either. The examples on their site look way better than what I have done with the Oil Pint Filter so far. Since I use the Filter for a long term series it would probably take quite a bit of effort to get the same look with something else. If PS really doesn't get the OPF back, this might be the way to go.

            Here is a tip for all developers: never, ever, ever remove a feature that you have once introduced.  It is complete lunacy.  Microsoft found that whenever they remove a feature, or think about removing a feature, they never do, because there is always a significant group who use a particular feature.  It is the same here.  Why the hell would you do it?  So, it takes a lot of effort!  What of it?  I pay good money every month, as do a lot of other people, and we have certain expectations of what is in the product.  I know I'm not going to discontinue my subscription, but come on guys, get your act together.  We want more features, not fewer!

              Just for reference, Microsoft HAS deleted all kinds of features in Win 8.  And we see how successful it's been.

              http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/156585-features-and-options-removed-in-windows-8/

              In principle I very much agree with you.  The roll-out of a new feature in Photoshop implies - if for no other reason because of past history - that there will be ongoing support.

              Incredible ---

              It was a very nice effect.

              They keep removing the great stuff and adding stuff no one needs.... Cant wait for Affinity Image.... I have been using PS since V1.

              The past 5 years, this wonderful software keeps getting slower and fuller of no-use features.

              First one had to install Pixel Bender to get Oilpaint.... THEN - they removed that. And made it a part of PS. Then they kill it..

              So out of touch with what is great and what is NOT !

              Claudia, install Photoshop CC 14.0 and you can use the Oil Paint filter too.  It's only been removed in Photoshop CC (2014).

              Claudia, Noel, are you making fun of us, or just restating the problem? Yes, I now have two versions of the same software installed, which is already ridiculous. What about CC 2015? Do we need to have three versions installed then to have all the features we need? What next? No updates anymore, but only additional versions? Someone already compiling a table of which version we need to run for each feature we'd like to use?

                I always praise Adobe for their innovative genius but this time they created a major catastrophe.

                I am in the middle of illustrations for a book and an accompanying app. The oil paint filter was a major part of the styling. I had to uninstall PS 2014 since I can't really use it . There is too much work to have to redesign a years worth of illustrations. Not to mention problematic, to tell the publisher Adobe has deleted one of my tools, blah,blah,blah.

                I wld suggest that efforts be employed to develop an add-on or plugin to aid the artists and photographers who rely on the OilPaint filter in their work. Can't imaging you geniuses won't put some energy into that idea. Hello?

                And JJMack -- I assume u are being sarcastic. Adobe is ART!

                  Aa_lique, you didn't have to uninstall Photoshop CC 2014 in order to use Photoshop CC 14.x.

                  To be honest, this filter was not entirely, but a key factor for my reason of upgrading from CS5.5... So Oil paint leaves after two iterations?

                  I too, hope a CPU or new graphics engine version is introduced. It seems it would be greatly received...

                  Yes, I am aware of that, and also why Adobe removed it in CC 2014 (which is completely understandable). What I am saying is that there are many people who clearly would appreciate it's return in some capacity and it would be wonderful if it could be re-introduced without having to have to versions of PS installed alongside each other... just for the benefit of one filter.

                  I heard the reason it is gone is because Oil Paint required flash and the new Photoshop CC 2014 is not supporting flash.  That's the reason it only works on the old photoshop.

                  Not quite.  The concept for why it's being eliminated is related, but as I understand it the Oil Paint filter relied on a big subsystem called "Pixel Bender" technology.  It was early work to get Photoshop to use GPU acceleration, and it's been superseded by newer "Mercury Graphics Engine" technology in Photoshop.  The entire Pixel Bender subsystem, which is apparently much more substantial than just what's needed by the one filter, didn't end up fitting in Adobe's plans for where they're taking Photoshop, and would have been too expensive to continue to maintain for one filter only.

                  That being said, I personally would have really liked to see the Oil Paint filter re-implemented using the new Mercury Graphics Engine - or even using just the CPU (on the assumption that having a slower version would be better than not having any at all).

                  I'm sure it was a difficult business decision, because they know that there are people like us who had grown to like and use the Oil Paint filter.

                  Didnt the Pixel Blender use flash?  Someone in another thread said this but it doesn't really matter...it's gone.  I can imagine it affects some people's workflow drastically.  I'm glad I did t use it that much.
