11.14. Oilify (legacy)

11.14.1. Overview

Figure 17.234. Example for the “Oilify (legacy)” filter

Original image

Filter “Oilify (legacy)” 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.

11.14.3. Options

Figure 17.235. “Oilify (legacy)” filter options

Mask size

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

Use mask-size map

You may use a mask-size map to control Mask size partially. Mask size is reduced according to darkness in each pixel of the map image. You can select a map image among the current opened images of the same size as the source image.

Exponent

Exponent selects density of the brush mask used to paint the oily render.

Use exponent map

You may use an exponent map to control density of brush touch partially. Density is reduced according to darkness in each pixel of the map image. You can select a map image among the current opened images of the same size as the source image.

Use intensity algorithm

“Use intensity algorithm” changes the mode of operation to help preserve detail and coloring.
