#### 11.6.1. Overview

Figure 17.194. Example for the “Oilify” filter

Original image

Filter “Oilify” applied

This filter makes the image look like an oil painting. The Mask size controls the outcome: a high value gives the image less detail, as if you had used a larger brush.

| Tip
The GIMPressionist filter can produce similar effects, but allows a much wider variety of options.

  Mask radius selects the size of the brush mask used to paint the oily render. Larger values here produce an oilier render.

Exponent

Number of intensities

  Size of the histogram: default is 128. Reducing the number of intensities results in a loss of details.
