Photoshop Training Video Site

Till now, you have been watching videos which teach you how to mix two photos or creating one photo combining best of two or more photos.

This tutorial is different. This will teach you how to turn a color photo into line drawing. In black and white or in any color you want. Some times, you may be forced to convert a photo into a line drawing for a specific purpose like printing it on a special surface.

This conversion is very easy. Just a few steps and you can get a line drawing. A must watch for almost everyone.

Ok, in this tutorial we’re just going to take a photo like this right here and we’re going to turn that into line drawing like this right here. A… its easy process, not very long at all. It can always take you 15 to 20 seconds to finish.

A little what we’re going to do is just cover the basics to get this a.. this look right here and video following this one a.. I’ll give you some more detail of how we can jazz this photo up a little bit so this is not so plain looking.

All right so let’s go ahead and get started here. Take this photo and see I’ve created three layers of the same photo all of them is exactly the same. The reason why I do that is because these top two layers here is we’re going to work with. The bottom layer here is our original photo and we don’t want to do any kind of destructive change to it.

Just in case, we our self fall down the line in our project that we messed up and we want to start over, a.. we can fall back to this one here because we know once you go yourself forward, you cant just go back and just keep on doing it and undoing it huh u.. get back to the original photo.

So we keep a duplicate here. So lets go ahead and get started. We’re going to take this top layer. We’re going to change this to Color Dodge and once we’ve done that, we hit Control I to invert it. And huh.. once we have that, we go to Filter, we go to Blur and we go to Gauzing And Blur.

Ok, now depending on the look that you have, a look you’re going for and these.. those other factors that go on to that to like a.. the resolution of the photo that was taken. A.. the information inside of the photo still a… all the detail things like that while determining how much Blur you actually put on this.

The single line here, if you have like a dark lines in the photo of your, starting a 2.2 like all you’re going use for this one. You can go lighter and get those dark lines out of the way, things like that.

Or if you want, just go for a.. totally.. totally different look all together and you can move this slightly up in this range and you can kind of get a.. pretty neat look. So we’re just going to work with set this to 2.2 and may well hit Ok. May be, see, that is basically what are trying to achieve here. Now the only kind of is missing is just the black and white board.

So all I’m going to do is go down here so filling adjustment layer and create a huge saturation layer and we’re going to.. we’re going to de saturate. You know… That will give us the look like it was drawn with pencil. Now if you wanted to make it a color — or you know whatever you want to do with it, you change the hue slightly around and all thing do is just take color information below and just going to flip it around and you change the lightness then darkness, things like that.

Now if you want to change this photo to all one color, you’ll click on Color As and then here’s gaming, slightly hue around, select color which you want. Saturation is basically taken it from no color all the way up to the brightest that you can take it. The… the most color tha.. that you can put into it. A.. Lightness and Darkness right here is just basically going to lighten it up or darken it or you know whatever you want.

And so basically that’s it for now. Look out for the next video where I give you some more detail on jazz it up a little bit.
