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.

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

Mask radius buffer, Exponent buffer

You can define two extra layers or channels that will be used as input for this filter.

Mask radius

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

Exponent

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

Number of intensities

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

Intensity mode

Use pixel luminance values: to test.
