![]() Now, it's up to you what you do here, but I always find that working with that copy is the best approach. You see the black details drop out, but all the edges are now emphasized with that duplicated stylized copy. And you might be wondering why you would do that, but now, dropping that into screen mode, makes it easy to emphasize the edges. Finding the edges could be great, and I do recommend you zoom in to 100% so you can really see it, and that's a great way to do edges. And all of these can simulate drawing styles. You will find that there's a wide range of effects from Sketch to Edge Detection here. Now by working non-destructively, you get the ability to quickly jump in and out. It really makes it easy to change the lighting or the feel. Now, you've got a great effect that just punches things up and dramatically changes the light in the scene. And then blend that using a mode that's going to make things darker like Multiply. Well, this is a great way to apply that with a couple of passes. So it softens areas and darkens them at the same time. Now Gloom is an odd sounding name, but what it does is it creates a very interesting blurring effect, and at the same time, darkening. ![]() All right, let's throw that away, and I'll show you another one that I like a lot, and that is Gloom. ![]() Using different modes, this case Overlay, gave us a great affect that looks to age that photo and really change it's character. Again, I can't emphasize enough, always try blending that with the copy down below. In this case, sort of a blown out look on the color, and we can even introduce additional color shift there by applying a slightly different preset. You may find that stacking a filter a couple of times starts moving you more and more into that look you're going for. Now, you can run a filter like that, and simply repeat it again. You'll also notice that the vintage effect has a vignette built in to darken the edges. And you can refine that with the Saturation Slider for an intense effect or a much lower saturation. Now, what these are doing is simply just changing how the colors are being manipulated. Well, this one offers several different choices and you'll see here that you can introduce very quick effects. I'll continue to work here at 50% magnification, and let's grab Vintage. Sometimes using an illustration in an overlay style is a great way to really get an interesting effect from a flatter photo to a more stylized grungy type picture. You can always mix these together to combine the two. If you want a better judge, work at 100% so you can really see what's happening. Sometimes these effects will look a little different when you hit Apply. Let's apply a sketch look, and you see how we can quickly adjust the intensity and the threshold there to create something that looks more like an illustration rather than a photo. Personally, I like to duplicate the layer so I can always blend it back with itself if it's a bit strong. Now, there's a wide range of effects here. And from the Effects browser, we'll choose Stylize. Many of which are considered kind of trendy. These are a great way to add attractive effects. Let's go ahead and work with another image from our train series, and in this case, what I want to take advantage of are some effects that can quickly stylize the image.
