Hi people.

– Is there a way to change a photo into an image that looks like a colouring book … in other words just outlines.

If it’s a little rough I can touch it up manually with brushes etc, but is there a filter combination I can run to start me in the right direction?

Do a search on webcrawler or google. This particular effect is a favorite in books and online tutorials.

Go to Adobe site, download pencil sketch action, run it to approximate the effect you’re going for, then either adjust levels to suit and/or apply dodge/burn brushes as you see fit.

Photo to Drawing.
Shift + Ctrl +U then Ctrl + J then Ctrl + I then in your layers palette change mode to colour dodge then go to Filter Blur/ gaussian blur.
