If you have a small monitor, larger size is on Flickr: click on photo to link.

Jiminy,

I tried Flicker but it says I don't have permission to view the photos. But the smaller versions look okay from where I'm sitting.

Jiminy...that is amazing! I love it!!!
BTW, I got the same message as mikem when I clicked on the photo.

Great stuff Jiminy, the way you do the tutorial type layout is cool too. Ditto for Flickr.

Jim, you may make my photos public on Flickr.

Also, everyone is free to experiment on my photo and post them on here. Please don't use them elsewhere though.

This is my favorite photo of all those I've taken in my life. It is great to see all the other things people can do with it.

Paemt,

Thanks again! Permission is essential for Flickr. Have you experimented yet?

[Saralonde]

Beautifully done, Jim.

Here is my experiment:

Having applied the steps given, I also added another layer, posterised, set to "multiply" mode and made fairly transparent. This added a little more texture. A plain white layer (overlay mode, almost transparent) gave more lightening and I finished off with a copy enhanced with a canvas effect and blended in "lighten" mode. All of that stops the effect looking too perfect although it is a lot better than most of my sketches turn out!

I haven't done anything yet. Very Busy. BOTH subjects in that photo are a handful:D

Nice effect! I think that erasing the perimeter lines are the human touch that makes it a work of art (I'm not starting a debate on this!).

I've tried a different technique which is more automated.

It is based on a tutorial I wrote about ink sketch effect. But making a few changes based on the original tutorial posted here, I got the image above.

It is totally automated and it lacks the final touch of erasing lines, but I wanted to share it anyway.

That is a very nice effect eflouret, nice work.

wulf,

You are innovative! That's what I hope continues, that combinations will produce personal discoveries.

Paemt,

You did the hard part; enjoy the moments while they're new!

eflouret,

Great look to that! There may be a hundred ways to get to nearly the same look. You can also use Feather to simulate erasing perimeter.
