Convert image into sketch

Today we are going to see how to convert your picture to a sketch.

1. Open any image of your choice. Duplicate the image by selecting Layer -> Duplicate layer.

2. With the duplicate layer selected go to Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate.













Again duplicate this desaturated layer. Now go to Image -> Adjustments -> Invert.




Change the blend mode to color dodge. This will make the image white.

3. Now go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian blur. Change the radius to achieve the sketch effect. I used 4.9pixels. But it will vary on the image you selected. So try which radius range suits your image.
Heres the final result:

You can find different blending modes in the layers window itself. The default is normal. If you click the drop down list you can select color dodge.
If you are unable to find that you can go to menu Layer -> Layer style -> Blending option. Change the blend mode to color dodge. And click ok. This will make the image white. Then follow step3.
Hope this helps. If you still have doubts. Leave it in comment.
