Comic Effect Tutorialby ~ArchaicAgonistiV

Scraps

For an almost Tim Bradstreet effect in Photoshop.

Use Gaussain Blur. Depending on the size of the image, you will use different blur strengths. I generally use 3 or 4 for most photos. The larger the picture, the more strength. It doesn't need to be rediculously blurred, just enough so that the picture is still recognizeable but blurry.
Then go to Edit>Fade Gaussian Blur. Keep it at 100% but change it's mode to "Darken".
That usually give you a pretty good effect, but if you're looking to take it a step further,
Goto Filter>Artistic>

oster Edges.
Put Posterization pretty high up, and the other two pretty low. Screw with the intensity and thickness until it's looking right.

Wow, thanks for the tut, I was wondering how to make comic effect with pics.

Thanks again - Pete

~cartmaneric Jan 20, 2009

this can be achieved with one filter and playing around with its parameters.
In my opinion not a very good comic book look either
