Can you take an image (photograph of a person for example) and convert it to line art? If so, can you convert the whole picture to a black and white (no shades of gray) line art?

Thanks!

"Line art " can actually mean many things. Do you mean outlining in Black and White? There are some Actions on the Adobe Exchange that will do that or use Find Edges or Graphic Pen or some of the other Filters. There are also plugins you can get like Outliner.

Or you might want to use Adobe Streamline to trace it in vector paths.

Sorry about that. I mean blakc and white outline. I’ll do some research on what Adobe Exchange and the filters you mentioned.

Thanks Ed!

Not an easy task.

There’s and Action I have used called Sketchy. The idea is to simulate a penciled drawing, but that can easily be made darker.

The Filters I referred to already exist in your copy of Photoshop.

You might also try Poster Edges. If you cobnvewrt to CMYK you can select out the black.
