Umbrellas Galore!

Love the color at the Magic Kingdom – total “eye candy” for the camera! This is one of my favorite images of the Umbrella Cart on Mainstreet USA. This time a sketch effect was added. I am one of those people that really like the sketch look. And although I have a couple actions and Topaz Simplify has some very good outline programs, it is hard to find one that fits all images. This technique did not work well on all my images, but for bright non-people images, it seems to be perfect. I learned this technique from a recent video called Creating a Realistic Pencil Sketch Effect in Photoshop at Davrophotofx. It was done using Elements, but it works fine in regular Photoshop since the filters are all the same. Biggest problem I had was that the Photo Copy Filter was not working correctly until I realized I had the foreground swatch set to white – it should be at the default black and white to look correct. Otherwise very simple steps. A couple of my textures were added and Nik Viveza 2 was used to adjust the color somewhat. Used a layer style for the border and that was it. Lots of fun to do this kind of image …..Digital Lady Syd
