becauseiwantedto Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Sharpen is nice, but here's an effect that makes your image seem like it's made from old paper, crisp, and sharpens it in a certain way. 1. Open your base image. 2. :AddNewLayer: Add New Layer. 3. Effects > Stylize > Edge Detect: Choose any degree. 4. Oh no! What have you done? It's fine, click :Properties: Layer Properties (alternatively hit F4), and change the blend mode to Additive. 5. Duplicate the top layer until you get your desired crispness. 6. Flatten! Ctrl+Shift+F After some tinkering, let's compare the two: This is not an advanced effect, but it's nice for an old feel, or a good texture for newbies. Comments/Results?

mineFanatics Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hahah, that's good. I might try it out sometime but not now. It might work better on less animated images . Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy_S Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I had over looked this tutorial for a while, but now I tried it, it is surprisingly useful. I'm using it in a sort of "Photo Manip", as the background for a new sig, and I must say, it really does it look great Good job here My deviantART | My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
