s Hi everybody again. A while since I wrote anything, but lately I'm very busy. This tutorial is a bit long, but is an effect that I like a lot, and if you get lost, the final sale. (Be patient ...)
To change a color photo of a comic, it can be done in several ways. One of them is as follows:
1) Open a picture
-Step A:
2) Press Ctrl-A to select the entire picture, then ctrl-c to copy it, and finally, ctrl-n to open a new image of the same size as the original.
3) In the popup, leave everything the same except "color mode" that will "color lab." Dale ok. Then ctrl-v to paste the previous selection.
4) Go to the Channels palette and click on "light."
5) Click on "image" - "mode" - "Grayscale." Dale ok to ask you two things.
6) Save the document in. Psd. Do not close this paper, minimÃzalo or hold back. Now let's move to amend the original photo.
Step B:
7) Duplicate the background layer and name it as "tone."
8) With the layer "tone" selected, go to "filter" - artistic and added borders. Put the following values: (thickness: 0, current: 0; posterization: 0)
9) We will "filter" - art-room. Number of levels: 4, Edge Simplicity: 3 and edge fidelity: 2.
10) The following is going to filter-blur-blur smoothing. Radio 6, threshold 80, high quality and normal mode.
Step C:
11) Duplicate the background layer, rename it to "color" and place it first. Change the blending mode from "normal" to "color."
12) Filter - noise, dust and scratches with: radio 10 and threshold 0.
13) Now go to "image" - adjustments, hue / saturation. Tone 0, saturation 80 and lightness 50.
Step D:
14) Duplicate the background layer again, name it "Ink 1" and put the top of the list. Change the blending mode to "multiply."
15) Let's "image" - -threshold settings. Value: 25.
16) We will "filter" - style-diffusion. Choose "anisotropic." Ok.
Step E:
17) double again the background layer, label "Ink 2", place the first and blending mode "multiply".
18) Type "D" for front and background colors are those of default.
19) "Filter" - sketch-copy. Details: 12, Dark 15.
20) Image-adjustments-threshold. Put a value of 100.
21) filter-stylize-diffusion. We chose anisotropic.
Step F:
22) Create a new layer above the others and call it "ink 3."
23) Edition complete with the following values: (content: 50% gray fusion: normal, opacity 100%)
24) Filter-sketch-halftone pattern. Size 2 to 25, ground line.
25) Now we will use the file from step A to maintain. To do this, we filter-distort-shift. "Horizontal and vertical scale" value 25 "displacement map" stretch, and "areas not defined" turn. We ok, and a window will appear. Choose the file from step A and give OK.
26) Filter-Gaussian Blur with 2px radio. Ok.
27) Go to "image"-settings-threshold, and put a value of 120. Ok.
28) filter-stylize-diffusion. Select anisotropico.OK.
29) Change the blending mode to "multiply." It is less.
Step G:
30) Press "q" to enter quick mask mode. Then ctrl-v to paste the image we had copied from step A.
31) still in Quick Mask mode, go to "blur filter" smoothing "and give: radio 6, 80 high quality threshold and normal mode (ie, the values \u200b\u200bwe set earlier). Dale ok, and then click the "q" to exit the mask. If all went well lit parts should be selected.
32) Let's "add layer mask" -hidden layer selection.
33) (Remember that we are in the ink layer 3) We are going to image-adjustments-threshold. Now what value you put to the taste, but usually give a value of between 190-230.
In this step, since the image you will have more or less the final look,
but we can improve some more, tweaking the appearance of teeth and making the picture look like it really is a printed comic.
Teeth:
34) Create a new layer called teeth and below the water place "tone", with blending mode "normal."
35) With the brush tool, paint the teeth white. The brush size that fits the size of photo.
tone image:
36) If you have been very dark the result, select the layer "tone", and image-adjustments-levels, move the pointer to the left gray. Screen
points:
37) Create a new layer below the layer "Ink 1" and name it point screen. Select it and go to "edit-fill, with 50% gray color, normal and opacity 100%.
38) Filter-Pixelate-Color Halftone. Leave the default values \u200b\u200bexcept the maximum radius, we place value of 4 pixels.
39) Change the blending mode of the layer to "overlay." y. ........ Already!
I put as always before and after ....( hope Homer does not bother what is already the second time jejje it out ... ... a greeting for you Paul!)


is a long process, but it's pena.para simplify, you can create a recorded action steps in the PS, and so the next time you use it will automatically. Hope you animeis to do so.
Thanks for putting up here!
Greetings my girls pa pa .... and my boy .... tb
