Option/Alt-click the layer mask and you can see that the area of the door and

The Cartoon or Painterly Effect
Contrary to what most people believe, this effect isn't created by using a third-party plug-in
but instead makes use of two filters built into Photoshop: Reduce Noise and High Pass.
It creates a wonderful textured feel and seems to add more dimension to a picture—as if
it's coming out of the screen or off the print a little. It works especially well when used on
pictures with a fun element.
1. Create a merged layer at the top of the layer stack by going to Select > All, then to
Edit > Copy Merged, and then to Edit > Paste (Shift+Command/Ctrl+ Option/
Alt+E). Rename the layer painterly .
