Graphic Novel Filter
I was very impressed with the Graphic Novel Filter in Photoshop Elements and thought it was a shame it wasn't in the 'big' Photoshop. so thought it was time to do a quick workaround. 1 Duplicate your background layer, Desaturate it then open Filter Gallery; Poster Edges at settings 1/3/4; Film grain at settings 2/6/7 (this gets rid of some of the blockiness of the Poster Edges Filter) and OK 2 Duplicate this layer and set to Overlay (this will make the 'blotchy; black a solid colour) This can also be done with a Levels Adjustment Layer, using the black eyedropper on what should be a true black, but you don't get quite the same effect. 3 Make a Layer Mask for this to make the background less strong. 4 Duplicate your first layer, go to Filter Gallery; Cutout 2/1/2 and apply. this is to make your background more graphic like. Apply a layer mask to hide the effect on the person. My image was quite large so settings may need to be lowered as necessary. Hope this may be of some use.  |

Re: Graphic Novel Filter
Very effective! I've also noted the lack of Elements' Graphic Novel feature, and this is a good workaround. |
