Digital Photos Changed to Resemble a Painting?

I am trying to find a program that will take a digital photo, and turn it into something that looks like a painting. I know Photoshop has some tools that allow you to do brush strokes or Fresco, etc. However, I am looking for an oil painting or pastel look so I can print it on canvas. Any suggestions?Digital Photos Changed to Resemble a Painting?
The best program for that is called Corel Painter X, or its cheaper stripped down version caller Painter Essentials. These are wonderful prgrams to draw and paint digially with the aid of a wacom drawing tablet. There is a process called cloneing where Corel alows you to use digital brushes over an image, so rather than applying a filter to an entire image equally, you are actually painting a filter stroke by stroke where you want it. Different brushes give you different looking effect, some look like oil, some charcol, some pastels, ect.Digital Photos Changed to Resemble a Painting?

Also Photoshop. You can even pick a particular painter or art medium to get that style. Charcoal for black%26amp;white, crayons, the works.
