He had a really cool way to do it so I am going to show that here and after I show you that I am kind of show you just a little bit of the way you can take it further and I wanted the techniques I found that enhances it. So the first thing we do, we start off with the photo and we duplicate the wait, so I will just go to layer, duplicate layer. If you want you can do control J on the PC, command you in the Mac, that creates a duplicate copy. That had to take the color away from this copy so I go to image, adjustments and go to disaturate, now we want to copy this layer again so I am going to use that short cut control J and I have a copy of it here but it is the same exact version as the bond below it.
What we want to do here is invert this, so whatever is black is white and whatever is white becomes black so I am just going to go to press control I, command I on the Mac, you can say it kind of almost looks like it is a, almost like an extra effect here. One more thing we need to do is change that blend mode of just that top layer, the one we just invert it, we are going to change it from normal and go down to color dots, and that is going to make everything white.
Now, here is where it all starts to come together. Go to the filter menu, go down to blur. Now, Justin suggested in his tutorial to use motion blur so I will do it motion blur and I will show you what happens here. Just bring the distance all the way down to one and with the angles that it is zero and as we start to increase the distance, this can use my arrow keys here, we start to see the whole sketch photo effect coming to pay here, so the higher distant you use the more black you will start to see here. That is pretty cool in and out of itself, looks like a great sketch here.
You can also use filter blur and go down to glossy and blur and if I started off here at zero and just start bringing that up, just going to use my arrow keys here. You get a little bit of a different effect here, to me the blacks look a little bit blacker when you use the glossy(ph) and blur and the motion blur.
So that is what Justin taught us, congratulations to Justin, he won the prize at photo shop world but I want to show you one more thing here, so that was the technique he used. Let us open up another photo here and I am going to do the same first few steps. Control j to duplicate the layer and now you can go into the image menu or use control shift U on the PC or command shift U on the Mac to disaturate and then we will duplicate that one just like we did last time and then invert it. So up to now, the sector will show the same. I go to the blend mode, I will change that to color beige, now here is where it changes. Here, I was experimenting with the different filters here, you go to the filter menu, go down to other and there is one called minimum and it is quite possible you may have never used the minimum filter ever before but watch what it does here, check it out and look at that.
Just with the radius of one, we get the instant sketch effect and as I start to increase that radius you will see those darker lines become even darker so I think it gives a really crisp sketch effect from a photo to a sketch here and again just adjust that radius setting, hit okay and you are done. Just to show you what it did on the other photo as well, I ran it on that one and it works just as well on that photo too. So you got a kind of a couple different ways you can take that last step in the tutorial.
