Here I have a picture of a classic car engine. I want to make it look hand-painted.
Use the Place command. When you have selected the file, make sure to uncheck Link.
With the image selected, open Effect and choose Artistic and then Poster Edges.
I made adjustments to the sliders to get the look I wanted and each photo will be a little different depending on the lighting, etc.
Here we can see the effect after it has been applied to the photo and what a difference it truly makes to the picture.
I used Control+Z to undo the last effect and applied Paint Daubs to the photo. Again, the effect really changes the picture from a photo to a painting.
