Moto, thanks for your explanation. I looked at the site just now. Does one need to preserve their cookies to keep images connected? Rita I don't know. |

Prior sharpening also helped, thanks Sepiana. Rita, you are most welcome! I can't take all the credit though. I got this tip from David Asch (the one behind the How to Cheat in Photoshop Elements series). |

Terrific job everyone. Great tut Tom - thanks for putting it out there for us  I changed my resolution of the image to 1024x576 before I applied the effect.  |

Here's another one from Dubai when I was there years ago and had only a very low res camera to take photos with.  |

That's certainly a neat effect and works well on portraits as I found when I tried it on some recent ones I shot for the local theatre group. Here's one of them - I did cut back the opacity of the luminosity layer to 60% otherwise it followed the tutorial with a 600x900 pixel image  Just for fun I took the same portrait and ran it through Topaz Impression with a Van Gogh preset.  Not being an art expert I'm not sure which one looks the most like one that Van Gogh would have painted but my preference is for #1 although I might just have to try a combination of the two for the owner of the face Tony |

And you don't need a beard for it to work - I did change the blend mode to Overlay though!  Tony |

My first try. Image from Pixaby.  Wrong subject I think. |

There is one caveat not mentioned in the tutorial, which is that the strength of the effect depends on the resolution of your image; the lower the resolution the stronger the effect. In my example below I used a resolution of 180 pixels/inch (to change resolution, click Image > Resize > Resize Image..., make sure Resample Image is checked, then modify the Resolution before you begin). Wrong subject I think." I think your image is a good one for this effect. If you want to make the effect stronger on a large image use tpgettys suggestion - lower the resolution of a big image before using the Graphic Novel effect. |

Thanks for that, Moto.
I had done it via the written link.

Thanks for that, Moto. I had done it via the written link. Have you tried reducing the image to 1600 x 1200? |
