# Introduction

The digiKam image plugin Oil Paint helps to give your digital images a nice oilpainting-like look. Pictures of nature and still lifes are well suited for this effect.

## Using the plugin

There are two sliders to control the effect. The upper slider selects the Brush Size between 1 and 5. Bigger brushes are better suited for large images. Smooth controls the smoothness or, seen from the other end, the jaggedness.

## The plugin in action

This is an example of the oil paint filter effect. The original image is (1) and the transformed image is (2). Brush Size for this 640 pixel size image is 1, Smooth is 17.
