In this

photoshop tutorial

as we already said, we won’t need tool brush and the wanted effect will be created by over lapping layers. We’ll open our wanted picture and duplicate it three times. We’ll start working at the bottom layer. As you see in

photoshop tutorial

we will be using filters and there will be few of them. Every layer will be changed by a different filter. We’ll be changing blending mode as well – and it will be different with every layer again. We won’t be taking about the filters used today in high details, we’ll look at them more closely in other

photoshop tutorial

By adding the last layer we’re trying to achieve an effect of first sketch of our picture so that a realistic effect is achieved. Thick lines can be erased at the end, so that they don’t seem like a big contrast. This adobe photoshop video tutorial is very simple and, therefore, it is highly suitable for beginners. Don’t hesitate and watch the video.

Photo to a picture with the help of photoshop filters

Only with the help of photoshop filters we can change a photo to a picture.

Photoshop filters

Stylize – Find Edges really carries the right name. It looks for edges in a way that it calculates the opposite colors and draws a line between them. Color, width and sharpness of the line is dependent on the amount of light of neighboring colors. Photoshop filter – Find Edges offers many great opportunities. This is probably the fastest and the simplest adobe photoshop video tutorial on these pages. The change from photograph to a draw picture can be done only by

photoshop filters

and namely Stylize – Find Edges. Also to achieve this change we have to change the blending mode to Overlay. While working with this tutorial you can, of course, use opacity as well – it can be decreased to remove “hardness” when overlapping

photoshop filters.

In this photoshop video tutorial we’ve used 3 duplicate layers. However, you can use more or less depending on your end effect. And again we remaind you – experiment.
