Ooh! That's a plug-in I'd like to have. 'Twould make my life easier. In the meantime, joezabel, there are also ways you can achieve acceptable results using the regular Photoshop filters -- that is, if you're in a rush and can't get the filter right away. The thing is, you have to do it in parts and pieces. The attached link is one of my older images converted to line art using just the standard Photoshop filters in 6.0. The original image can be found here: http://art.aprilgem.com/poser/poser14.html Anyway, I did it in parts and pieces -- I had several copies of the image on separate layers. I posterized some of the layers so that the color gradients were less smooth and broken up into blocks, and THEN I used the sketch/graphic pen filter on them. I used different settings and the multiplied the layers so they all added up. I can't quite remember the exact steps I made, but it's always a trial and error with each image anyway -- you get different results with different color schemes, and sometimes the technique works well while other times it doesn't. That's in if you don't have the Andromeda filter and you're in a bind, though.
