I think this is by far the most complex of the pictures I’ve yet to put together for Susan Tuttle’s Digital Layers<\/a> class. I used a picture I had taken several years ago on a trip to St. Andrews-by-the-Sea in eastern Canada. I had always really liked the picture — especially the distant light house and the sea gull, but the harbor water was too dominate and kind of boring. Using a stock photo of a boat and a quick snap of my kneeling daughter’s back I cropped out a section of the water and added the boat.<\/p>\nI used three layers of the find edges filter: the first one was an inverse that was set to “lighten” blend mode which created the highlighted edges. The second layer was a normal find edges filter and then set to “linear burn” blend mode — that created the dark lines that look like a pencil. The final layer was another normal find edges filter that was desaturated and then set to “linear burn.” That made the edges even darker and creates the hand-drawn effect.<\/p>\n
I used three texture layers — a cracked canvas<\/a> texture, a dirty window<\/a> texture and a linen-type<\/a> texture that I then modified with a blue-grey adjustment layer set to “color” blend mode. (It’s very handy for changing the color of the textures to something that fits your scene better).<\/p>\n
