Experimenting in Photoshop

EOSimages · 31st of March 2006 (Fri)

I hope this is the place for this shot. I was experimenting with Photoshop on a train photograph that I posted in Transportation. I wanted it to look as though it was a sketch. What do you think? Thanks!

Bo.

I like it a lot! There are so many things you can do with Photoshop it's almost rediculous. I think this makes it look like sketch for sure! Maybe try and have it black though? Great work!

Very nice...That would be an interesting thread...what's your favorite filter in cs2...mine is the polarizd...as if I didn't spend enough time looking at and playing with my pictures!

Good job,
I would also like to see it converted in B&W and with a little level tweaking.

Hi Bo, Intersting image and result. Would you mind sharing your technique for doing this? Thanks, Dennis

Looks like you made it.

Also joining the share-the-technique train.

Photodawg1: my favourite filter is USM.

I almost exclusively use USM and gaussian blur from the filters section...

I'm not sure I know how to do the B&W thing and the level tweaking....

I am real new at this digital stuff & I'm not even sure I can explain how I did this? I'll see if I can go back into it & find exactly what I did. Please feel free to tweak it & do whatever you like to the photo. It would be great to see other ideas.

Bo.

OK, I managed to get it B&W but, I couldn't locate in my software anything that said leveling? Sorry. As I said, I am real NEW at this stuff!

Thanks, Bo.

I think all I really did was place the photo in Photoshop & chose the charcoal filter & then lightened it up a bit?

On that first picture, if you invert the colors (blue->white, white->blue) and crank up the contrast a notch... It'd look like an isometrically drawn blueprint or something. Very cool.

EOSimages · 31st of March 2006 (Fri)

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the first image!

How's this?

Doesn't quite seem to work with white on black as much. Out of the three, I'd still go with the first.

EOSimages · 31st of March 2006 (Fri)

Yeah, I couldn't get it to do the blue & white reversal thing?
