Welcome

In this blog we'd be discussing all the photoshop tutorials which will help the beginners to learn this tool. Also we'd be posting different effects that can be created in Adobe Photoshop7. We'd be looking forward for your comments and suggestions.

Turning Photo into a Sketch!

  • Open one of your favaorite photos which you would like to turn it into a sketch in Photoshop.
  • Duplicate the existing background layer by dragging the background layer and drop it onto “Creating a new layer” button (the second one from the right). You now have 2 layers.
  • Click on Image > Adjustments > Invert
  • You will get a creepy-looking photo.
  • At the “Layer Blending Mode” Selection, choose “Color Dodge.”
  • Click on Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur
    Set “Radius” = 2
  • Your photo becomes a little blurred now.
  • Click on “Create a new layer” button to create a new layer
  • At the new layer, press (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + e)at the same time to combine all the layers – but still keeps the old ones.
  • Goto Image > Adjustments > Threshold
  • Set “Threshold Level” = 250
  • Finally, a nice sketch will be produced using these simple methods.
