merge line and tone

[ronmatt]

Using a sharpening plugin that I was turned onto on this forum and reversing the action I've been able to come up with, what I think is, an interesting effect. I've taken a couple of images that I've created and posted earlier and applied this effect. If anyone wants to pursue this, I'll post a tute

Thanks for the tute Ron, here is something I did with it [shhh]

 

[ronmatt]

I like it. Another tip, once you,ve converted to line, you can apply color, grad and or style to the line for an even more subtle or dramatic effect. Play around with it.

This is great, finally we've got over the loss of one of our own to professional duties. Thanks, Ron for sparking up this neck of the woods. Gare's been carrying the load 'til now.

I'm back in the game. As always, let's kick some bu....

playin around with this technique. Look around at it, you'll see some interesting things going on especially with the lighting effects and color transitions. It's done using multiple layers of the line conversion in different colors and dragging the grad. eraser.
