Cool Photoshop Effect



As you can see, the picture on the top is the same picture as the picture on the bottom but it has a different look to it. In order to do this:
1. Go to the layers palette, right click on the background layer, click on duplicate layer, and click okay.
2. Next, go to the top of the screen and click on image, go down to adjustments, and click on desaturate.
  • This allows all of the color to be removed from the photo.
3. After that,  make a copy of the layer you were just working with the same way you did the first time.
4. Dealing with this new layer, go back up to the image menu at the top of the screen and scroll down to adjustments again. Then click on invert. 
  • This causes the light areas of the photo to be dark and the dark areas of the photo to be dark.
5. Still dealing with this layer, change the blend mode located in the top left corner of the layer panel from normal to color dodge.
  • This should make most of the photo look completely white.
6. After this , go up to the filter menu at the top of the screen and select other and then select minimum. Then make sure the radius is 1 and click okay.
  • You should see the same photo but as a sketch.
7. Next, hold down the alt key while going up to layer at the top of the screen and scrolling down to merge visible.
8. Change the blend mode again from normal to multiply and change the opacity to around 65% depending on your opinion it could be different.
  • This darkens the lines of the sketch to make it look more detailed.
9. Once again, make a copy of the background layer.
10. Then click on it and drag it to the very top of the layers panel.
11. After that, change the blend mode again from normal to color and opacity to around 50% depending on how you think it looks best.
Then you will get something that looks like my second picture. Hope you enjoyed this!
