I'm going to do this quickly. Here is the original picture.

In Adobe PhotoShop, use the Filter Menu, Artistic, Poster Edges.

I choose the default settings because it's easier!

Here is the posterized result.

Thanks!Ron It looks nice... Any more tips on photoshop? Thanks in advance RogerC

Looks good ron. If you like that effect you may want to try using Poser's sketch designer. I know you've said before that there is a lot you haven't learned with Poser, but have you used the sketch designer yet?

I am still learning many things about both Poser and PhotoShop. The other day I experimented with many different features of PhotoShop. I like Black and White treatment.

Nice!!

I tried the Sketch Render feature, and found it totally disappointing. There is no way to control the extent of the feature. There is no way to render to a new window. It looks lousy. I have a small screen so I always render to a new window and get a bigger image. Ron

You can control the detailing, but it's a bit tricky to work with at first... you can also get a larger render, but you have to go about it in a slightly different way... you would have to set it up to animate the single frame you want, and the size you want it to be, then animate it using the sketch settings... I'm not in front of my computer at home, so I can't give you the exact steps to take to do this, but it can be done. Also, do a search in freestuff, there were a few free sketch render settings available at one point... I want to say they were by Don Albert? But I'm not sure about the name... there are also a few sets avaible to buy over at bbay.

Great tips, Ron. Thanks.

Try your images with a sepia tone instead of black and white. That way, they'll look like an old wanted poster! I also used a texture filter on this one, to give it a crumpled-paper effect.

Thanks for the tips, friends. I might have downloaded those sketch render things. Sepia?! Hmm where is that? Is it in Adobe PhotoShop?! OH, and I'm working on an idea for a wanted poster. I had forgotten about it. I was trying to figure how to make it work. I do have MGI PhotoSuite, which I don't use much... it has a deal where you can just plug a picture into a premade wanted poster. Now I probably don't have that program on my computer any more.

I don't have Photoshop, so I browsed the 'Net for info on creating sepia tones with it. Looks like there are several ways to go about it:

Quick Tutorial #1
Quick Tutorial #2

It's a bit easier with Paint Shop Pro, which has a built-in sepia tone filter in the Artistic Effects menu.

Thanks. I will check them out. In the meantime I did some fiddling with Actions. (That sounds weird). This is what I have so far.

Hmm, this is the Canvas Action (effect). Pretty Kool?
