Create a Watercolor Canvas Photo

This tutorial is made for Adobe Photoshop Elements.

You can create a very cool effect using the Watercolor filter in the Adobe Photoshop Element photo editing software. And it is very simple to do.

Find the photo you want to use and load it into the program.

The original canvas photo

Then select “Filter > Artistic > Watercolor” in the menu.

In most cases the standard values works very well, but if you are not satisfied with the result, try to change the brush detail – the smaller photo the higher brush.
