    Hi Folks:

    Another attempt at a pencil sketch. Basic steps if you would like to try one. Open photo you select. Make dulicate layer. Go to image, adjustment, Desaturate. Duplicate top layer (now have 3 layers) On top layer choose Image, Adjustment, Invert. Still on top layer, click where it says Normal top of layer box, select Color Dodge, image almost totally disappears. Still on top layer go to Filter, Blur, Gaussian blur adjust radius slider until you are pleased with your sketch . .

    C&C's very welcome and appreciated. . . . . Uncle Gus :D
