As a newcomer to PP I thought that I would experiment. The look that I was going for was the graphic novel type illustration.
Using Elements 5.0
1. Duplicate layer
2. Remove colour
3. Invert
4. Add gaussian blur- about 11
5. Overlay. This made the colours brighter.
6. Then I merged the layers down.
7. I then added poster edges, setting the brush,edge thickness to suit.
8. Then cropped the image.
9. I then used adjust colour for skintone to get a comicbook type skin.
I havent done much of this before so I understand that it wont be up to the standard of most but I fancied giving it a go.
John.
