I hav adob photoshop software n i hav to create pencil sketches of real photo...how to use the software ??aurora

First, open the image you want to 'sketch'

f your using Photoshop 7, use a 'Layer Set' for organization.

Next duplicate, the original photo/image layer( I called mine 'copy'), and hide the original.

Select the copy layer, then go to 'Image/Adjustments/Desaturate'.

(Alternately,

PC Shortcut: 'Ctrl + Shift + U' = Desaturate

Mac Shortcut:'Cmd + Shift + U' = Desaturate.)

3. Next, duplicate the 'copy' (desaturated) layer.

Select that layer, then go to 'Image/Adjustments/Invert'.

(Alternately,

PC Shortcut: 'Ctrl + I' = Invert

Mac Shortcut: 'Cmd + I = Invert)

Now, Select that 'inverted' layer, in the 'Layers Palette', and from the 'Blending Modes' drop down list, choose 'Color Dodge'.

(Alternately,

PC Shortcut: 'Alt + Shift + D' = Color Dodge.

Mac Shortcut: 'Option + Shift + D' = Color Dodge.)

Finally, have the 'Color Dodge' layer selected and go to 'Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur' and toy with the 'Radius' integer. In this case, a 'radius' from '1-9' worked best. Anything after that it just restored the image back to what it looked like when we desaturated it.

A method I have used before is-

Open up your image

Go to the 'Filters' menu, then the 'Brush Strokes' submenu and select 'angled strokes.

You will have to play around with the effect controls but I would recommend a low stroke length and a high sharpness setting.

Apply these changes and then desaturate the image (shift+control+u)

I think the result is pretty effective.
