Water Painted Images

Learn how to make am image look waterpainted in greyscale.

1. This is our subject, the beautiful Jessica Alba! Let's get started.

2. First off we need to make the picture in grayscale. Click Image > Adjustments > Desaturate (or Shift+Ctrl+U). You should see something like the image on the left.

3. Now to get some outlines going. Duplicate the layer by clicking Select > Duplicate Layer and click Filter > Stylize > Find Edges. Again you should see somelike like I have to the left.

4. Now for the second last step. On the same layer as we did the Find Edges filter on, click Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Use a setting of maybe 2 or 2.5. Compare with the image on the left to see how your doing.

5. Final Step =D! On the layer we applied the Gaussian Blue to, change the ayer Properties to "Overlay." And now you should be done! Your image should look like what I have on the left.
