Turn a photo into an illustration! Threshold by Path in Photoshop 2019

  • A vector image made with Path or Shape can reduce the file size and has the advantage of being able to cope with any document size without degradation. However, making complex artwork with Path or Shape requires both techniques and time. For example, you can easily make Path or Shape from the selection obtained with "Threshold" so you can achieve smooth pure black and white conversion without jaggies.
    Contents:
    00:00 Introduction.
    01:41 Crop the image.
    03:06 Creates a selection of dark areas.
    06:05 Creates a path from a selection.
    07:40 Create a shape from a path.

  • @TPToE
    @TPToE Před 4 lety +13

    Exactly what I was looking for - thanks so much! The best solution to smoothing threshold I'd found prior to this was blurring and then adjusting curves or levels to resharpen the edges, but detail is lost via that method. This, on the other hand, works perfectly!

    I am going to try your technique and thank you for sharing your video. What is the resolution set for at 3:02 and how big can this b&w image be scaled for printing?

    • @psgips
      @psgips  Před 3 lety

      There is no limit to the scaling of the image after it is completed. Because it's a vector image built with Path. Therefore, setting 300 pixels/inch, which is the resolution for printing, does not cause any problem. You should be careful about color mode conversion. Thank you!

    • @psgips
      @psgips  Před 2 lety

      Thank you for your kind comment. It's okay to rasterize. However, do so only after you have sized it for the finished product. That's because rasterization determines the current number of pixels. Alternatively, you can save the vector as the original file in PSD format and then output it in rasters such as JPEG format or PNG format.

      In the Layers panel, Select [Color Fill].

    Everything I get with this technique yields a negative image. Layer one becomes a negative image. This may reflect changes to the software with Photoshop 2022? I can invert that with an adjustment layer and move on. We'll see how that works.

    • @psgips
      @psgips  Před 2 lety +1

      I confirmed in Photoshop 2022. You should check the following operations.
      03:54 In [Color Range], turn on [Invert].
      05:28 In [Color Range], turn off [Invert].
      These operations are for preview purposes, and Color Range makes a selection in the white area. I hope you will go well.
