Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
David, Gordon, and Anna really great work this week 
I have not been able to make anything of the challenge this week, so I, therefore, have no entry; however, I have uploaded an engraving of a printing shop of the time, and what I would like to know is how do I turn a photo into an engraving?

Thanks Michael. As for your question you could try this site and download the Action. I haven’t tried it myself but you might find it suitable. http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/freebies/free-engraved-illustration-effect-action-for-photoshop or this one http://we.graphics/blog/turn-a-photo-into-an-engraved-illustration-using-photoshop/ _________________ Always remember that you are unique - just like everyone else. |

Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
I don't have a 3D rendering program like Gordon and Anna, so I had to come up with a different approach. First, I have to confess I did not tell Tony that Plantin was originally from France. I think he was attempting a Dutch accent. Second, I think I spent too much time watching Monty Python as a child. Third, I've got a very busy day tomorrow and didn't have time to add a shadow. It was time-consuming enough to animate the boy and Plantin. Animation: http://vimeo.com/351320714

Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
Hi Michael, I have a book called 101 Simplified Tips and Tricks in Photoshop that has a step by step process for making an image look like an engraving. I'm sure there have got to be other tutorials online as well. _________________ I'm still learning. |

Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
The action is based upon the tutorial using the same technique. It is pre-formatted for three degrees of fineness. It is the action I mentioned at the start of this challenge. I tried it on this challenge image and the result was far too coarse and unsatisfactory. That is not say that it couldn't be improved. I was so short of time I was looking for an instant quick fix and didn't look it into deeper. I suspect that if you were to study the tutorial and 'disassemble' the action you could write a much better one of your own. There is a really excellent commercial engraver from Alpha Plugins but at $75 it is rather costly. I used an earlier version of this a few years ago and it was excellent. The price tag is probably quite correct from Alpha's point of view - it's a comprehensive and complex piece of software. The question is whether it is worth that much to the user relative to amount of usage. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

The dutch spoken in Antwerp is flemish, a Belgian dialect of the Netherlands dutch just to the north. I have lived among Flemish speakers for fifteen years now and I couldn't even begin to copy the accent.

Mariner, your work is always so devastatingly impeccable I find myself almost wishing that you'd get something wrong! Beautiful ...........  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
Thanks, David, for the huge compliment. This, IMHO, is the best work I have ever done. The extremely extensive renovations needed to be done to improve this image gave me hours and hours of pleasure, and I thank you again for submitting this. |

Michael, sorry to be picky but perhaps the vanishing points of the rooftops could be adjusted a little? _________________ If at first you don't succeed then skydiving is not for you. |
