photograph into the look of a beautiful

0:00:16.720,0:00:19.680
pencil drawing

0:00:21.370,0:00:27.340
this is an update of a tutorial i did on

0:00:24.670,0:00:29.590
an earlier version of Photoshop open a

0:00:27.340,0:00:33.160
photo you'd like to use I downloaded

0:00:29.590,0:00:35.910
this one from shutterstock.com the first

0:00:33.160,0:00:40.030
step is to make two copies of your photo

0:00:35.910,0:00:43.750
press ctrl J on Windows or command J on

0:00:40.030,0:00:46.510
a Mac twice we'll remove all the color

0:00:43.750,0:00:49.320
from the topkapi by pressing ctrl or

0:00:46.510,0:00:52.260
command shift you

0:00:49.320,0:00:55.440
adjust its brightness and contrast by

0:00:52.260,0:00:58.410
pressing ctrl or command shift L to

0:00:55.440,0:01:00.720
invoke auto tone since we'll be adding

0:00:58.410,0:01:02.940
filters to the image will convert it

0:01:00.720,0:01:06.320
into a smart object so we'll be able to

0:01:02.940,0:01:08.970
adjust or modify the filters at any time

0:01:06.320,0:01:12.150
click the icon at the upper right of the

0:01:08.970,0:01:16.080
layers panel and click convert to smart

0:01:12.150,0:01:18.210
object you know it's a smart object when

0:01:16.080,0:01:24.320
this icon is at the lower right corner

0:01:18.210,0:01:24.320
of its thumbnail rename it glowing edges

0:01:24.370,0:01:32.460
make a copy of it

0:01:27.510,0:01:34.530
and rename the copy charcoal click off

0:01:32.460,0:01:37.350
the eyeballs next to the two top layers

0:01:34.530,0:01:41.469
to temporarily hide them

0:01:37.350,0:01:44.530
make layer one active click the

0:01:41.469,0:01:47.159
adjustment layer icon and click

0:01:44.530,0:01:47.159
hue/saturation

0:01:49.400,0:01:55.980
slide the saturation all the way to the

0:01:52.190,0:01:59.490
left to remove all its color

0:01:55.980,0:02:04.170
make layer 1 active again and invert it

0:01:59.490,0:02:07.040
by pressing ctrl or command I convert it

0:02:04.170,0:02:07.040
into a smart object

0:02:09.690,0:02:16.430
and change its blend mode to color dodge

0:02:14.360,0:02:19.470
at this point your image will look

0:02:16.430,0:02:26.290
almost completely white

0:02:19.470,0:02:29.469
go to filter blur and Gaussian blur

0:02:26.290,0:02:30.760
I'll make the radius 7 pixels but you

0:02:29.469,0:02:33.280
may want to adjust these settings

0:02:30.760,0:02:35.799
depending on the size and resolution of

0:02:33.280,0:02:38.200
your image slide the radius until your

0:02:35.799,0:02:41.310
image has approximately this much detail

0:02:38.200,0:02:43.659
if you want to adjust the blur later

0:02:41.310,0:02:46.629
just double click the Gaussian blur

0:02:43.659,0:02:49.480
smart filter and the blur window will

0:02:46.629,0:02:51.670
open again you can adjust it as often as

0:02:49.480,0:02:53.739
you want and whenever you want because

0:02:51.670,0:02:57.370
the layer that you apply the blur filter

0:02:53.739,0:03:03.020
to is a smart object make the glowing

0:02:57.370,0:03:07.610
edges layer visible and active

0:03:03.020,0:03:10.430

0:03:10.430,0:03:19.160
glowing edges I'll make the width 1 the

0:03:14.990,0:03:20.960
brightness 20 and the smoothness 7 feel

0:03:19.160,0:03:23.290
free to experiment with the settings if

0:03:20.960,0:03:23.290
you'd like

0:03:26.140,0:03:32.700
click the adjustment layer icon and

0:03:28.950,0:03:32.700
click invert

0:03:34.630,0:03:39.010

0:03:36.970,0:03:41.590
restrict the adjustment layer to effect

0:03:39.010,0:03:43.810
only the glowing edges layer otherwise

0:03:41.590,0:03:46.960
it would affect all the layers below it

0:03:43.810,0:03:49.870
in the layers panel to see through this

0:03:46.960,0:03:53.860
layer make the glowing edges layer

0:03:49.870,0:03:55.890
active and change its blend mode to

0:03:53.860,0:03:55.890
multiply

0:03:57.520,0:04:04.780
make the charcoal layer visible and

0:04:00.690,0:04:06.460
active make sure your foreground and

0:04:04.780,0:04:09.370
background colors are black and white

0:04:06.460,0:04:12.730
respectively if they aren't press D on

0:04:09.370,0:04:15.930

this time open the sketch folder and

0:04:21.140,0:04:28.520
click charcoal

0:04:24.500,0:04:32.360

0:04:28.520,0:04:34.220
and the light dark balance 80 but again

0:04:32.360,0:04:36.670
feel free to experiment with these

0:04:34.220,0:04:36.670
settings

0:04:38.870,0:04:46.540

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
I'm going to show you how to transform a photograph

0:00:14.240,0:00:17.920
into the look of a beautiful, pencil drawing.

0:00:22.160,0:00:26.500
This is an update of a tutorial I did on an earlier version of Photoshop.

0:00:27.000,0:00:32.060
Open a photo you'd like to use. I downloaded this one from Shutterstock.com.

0:00:32.760,0:00:35.760
The first step is to make 2 copies of your photo.

0:00:36.740,0:00:41.480
Press Ctrl + J on Windows or Cmd + J on a Mac, twice.

0:00:42.640,0:00:48.360
We'll remove all the color from the top copy by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + U.

0:00:49.920,0:00:52.080
Adjust its brightness and contrast

0:00:52.080,0:00:56.800
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + L to invoke Autotone.

0:00:57.680,0:01:00.480
Since we'll be adding filters to the image, we'll

0:01:00.480,0:01:05.460
convert it into a Smart Object, so we'll be
able to adjust or modify the filters at any

0:01:05.470,0:01:12.440
time. Click the icon at the upper, right of
the Layers panel and click, "Convert to Smart

0:01:12.440,0:01:18.530
Object". You know it's a Smart Object when
this icon is at the lower, right corner of

0:01:18.530,0:01:23.070
its thumbnail. Rename it, "Glowing Edges".

0:01:24.600,0:01:25.940
Make a copy of it

0:01:28.140,0:01:30.600
and rename the copy, "Charcoal".

0:01:32.020,0:01:36.320
Click off the eyeballs next to the top 2 layers
to temporarily hide them.

0:01:38.100,0:01:39.820
Make Layer 1 active.

0:01:41.120,0:01:46.240
Click the Adjustment layer icon and click
"Hue/Saturation".

0:01:50.020,0:01:54.980
Slide the Saturation all the way to the left to remove all its color.

0:01:56.280,0:02:00.060
Make Layer 1 active again and invert it by

0:02:00.060,0:02:05.640
pressing Ctrl or Cmd + I. Convert it into
a Smart Object

0:02:10.020,0:02:13.060
and change its Blend Mode to "Color Dodge".

0:02:15.060,0:02:17.920
At this point, your image will
look almost completely white.

0:02:20.060,0:02:24.820
Go to Filter, Blur and Gaussian Blur.

0:02:27.000,0:02:30.460
I'll make the Radius:
7 pixels, but you may want to adjust these

0:02:30.470,0:02:35.870
settings depending on the size and resolution
of your image. Slide the Radius until your

0:02:35.870,0:02:42.400
image has approximately this much detail.
If you want to adjust the blur later, just

0:02:42.400,0:02:48.209
double-click the Gaussian Blur smart filter
and the Blur window will open again. You can

0:02:48.209,0:02:52.849
adjust it as often as you want and whenever
you want because the layer that you applied

0:02:52.849,0:03:01.849
the blur filter to is a Smart Object. Make
the "Glowing Edges" layer visible and active.

0:03:03.540,0:03:11.840
Go to Filter and Filter Gallery. Open the
"Stylize" folder and click "Glowing Edges".

0:03:12.560,0:03:18.380
I'll make the Width: 1, the Brightness: 20
and the Smoothness: 7.

0:03:18.920,0:03:21.540
Feel free to experiment with the settings if you'd like.

0:03:26.360,0:03:31.000
Click the Adjustment layer icon and click, "Invert".

0:03:35.020,0:03:41.060
Click the Clipping Mask icon to restrict the adjustment
layer to effect only the "Glowing Edges" layer,

0:03:41.060,0:03:46.820
otherwise, it would effect all the layers
below it in the Layers panel. To see through

0:03:46.830,0:03:54.670
this layer, make the "Glowing Edges" layer
active and change its Blend Mode to "Multiply".

0:03:58.040,0:04:05.600
Make the "Charcoal" layer visible and active.
Make sure your foreground and background colors

0:04:05.610,0:04:10.610
are black and white, respectively. If they
aren’t press “D” on your keyboard.

0:04:11.440,0:04:23.460
Go back to Filter and Filter Gallery. This time,
open the "Sketch" folder and click "Charcoal".

0:04:24.720,0:04:32.920
I'll make the Thickness: 2, the Detail: 5
and the Light/Dark Balance: 80, but again,

0:04:32.930,0:04:35.010
feel free to experiment with these settings.

0:04:39.580,0:04:45.220
To see through the layer, as before, change its Blend Mode to " Multiply".

0:04:48.960,0:04:53.120
Double-click this icon to edit the Smart Filter blending options.

0:04:56.200,0:05:02.520
Change the Blending Option from Normal
to "Linear Dodge". Then, click OK.

0:05:13.400,0:05:17.160
This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV. Thanks for watching!
