Here's a simple trick to create a sketch effect.
First, open the image you want to 'sketch'. (Me) |
|
|
2.
If your using Photoshop 7, use a 'Layer Set' for
organization.
Next duplicate, the original photo/image layer( I called mine 'copy'), and hide the original.
Select the copy layer, then go to 'Image/Adjustments/Desaturate'.
(Alternately,
PC Shortcut: 'Ctrl + Shift + U' = Desaturate
Mac Shortcut:'Cmd + Shift + U' = Desaturate.)
Left is what your 'Layers Palette' would look like. |
|
|
|
|
3.
And this is the 'Desaturate' image. |
|
4.
Next, duplicate the 'copy' (desaturated)
layer.
Select that layer, then go to 'Image/Adjustments/Invert'.
(Alternately,
PC Shortcut: 'Ctrl + I' = Invert
Mac Shortcut: 'Cmd + I = Invert) |
 |
5.
Here's what the inverted layer should look like.
|
 |
6.
Now, Select that 'inverted' layer, in the 'Layers Palette', and from the 'Blending Modes' drop down list, choose 'Color Dodge'.
(Alternately,
PC Shortcut: 'Alt + Shift + D' = Color Dodge.
Mac Shortcut: 'Option + Shift + D' = Color Dodge.) |
 |
7.
This is what my 'Color Dodge' image looks like.
It should be mostly white. (Mine is not, only because I previously cut the background out of the image.) |
 |
8.
Finally, have the 'Color Dodge' layer selected and go to 'Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur' and
toy with the 'Radius' integer. In this case, a 'radius' from '1-9' worked best. Anything after
that it just restored the image back to what it looked like when we desaturated it.
|
 |
9.
Some enhancements, such as shading and colored eyes. |
 |
10.
Works well on other subject matters also.
