~~~ A Watercolor from a Photo - New Tutorial ~~~
janeecake
I invite you to check out my new tutorial, A Watercolor from a Photo, on
making a pen-and-ink over watercolor effect from a photo. The result is
similar to that of the "Really Useful Page" tutorial to which i've been
sending people, but this one is, imho, an improvement, in that it uses
Grasshopper's suggestions, a couple of my own discoveries, and it is cleaner.
Please let me know what you think, if you get a moment. I'd love a real raking
too.. i mean let me know every nitpicky thing that you think would make this a
better tutorial. I also did an almost total rewrite of my Antique Gold
tutorial so take a look at that one too, while you are on my site.

this effect for a new project. In some ways, it reminds me of a popular '70s style
of ink and wash...
Thanks for your indefatigable efforts on behalf of our photoshopping!
Cheers,
Jane

Wonderful. This i what I was searching!
I hope for other samples!

9a. - the last sentence should be 2 sentences (period after 'black').
In order to get a selection from a grayscale image, I click on that
layer then go to channels and make a new channel from one of the
existing ones (courtesy RossF). Then control - click that channel.
Although you were able to create a reasonably nice 'painting' using
only automated steps, the final result clearly needs touching up. For
instance, the pillars should all be predominantly white. And the final
image doesn't have the 3D quality of the original.
If you are working on a portrait, the line drawing can be used to
select (using the magic wand), areas of the face to which you might
like to apply a small gaussian blur to get rid of small
'imperfections'. You may have to use a paintbrush to make some changes
so that this works correctly.

Thank you so much, Jane, Lorenzo, and Grasshopper!
9a is fixed and i wrote a little more in there about touching up. I still like
my way of doing the selection for this one, though, lord knows i surely do use
channels that way a lot too. Thank you so much for your input with this!

more flexible to use the magic wand and saves some steps.
