Convert original image to sharp Line art?

Dear All,
I have a image i want to convert orginal image to sharp lineart how can i do photoshop CS3 please help me.
one reference image is attached

As others have said I dont think you will be able to convert the image you have posted to look like the result you want from the other image you posted, the detail in the original is just to high. I use the method described below for doing my line art in Photoshop and it works well but you seem to want to reduce your image to a much simplier representation. I have used this site before, it used to be free but now I think you only get a couple of free credits when you join, convert a photo to line drawing, quite simple to use and you can select to remove noise which might reduce the complexity of the original image.
In Photoshop try:
Duplicate original layer
Change top layer color mode to color dodge
Invert top layer
Apply Gaussian blur (choose low pixel radius for less detail so reducing image complexity)
Add adjustment layer and set saturation to be -100
Retouch anywhere with brush tool to complete

  • Convert photos of buildings to line art.

    I am looking for a program that can convert photos of buildings to crisp, clean line art with no shadings or noise. Is there a program that can do this? If not what would come closest to what I need and I can test it.
    Thank you.

  • Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

    I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
    Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions? 

    Little known hint well worth knowing:
    If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
    In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported.  These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
    For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls.  Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
    JPG is 8-bit and lossy.  RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right).  If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
    In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls.  If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.

  • Text-wrap line art without alpha channel or path

    I have seen a tutorial that uses TIFF format images (B&W line art) around which text-wrap is applied.
    Do all TIFF images have this property, or just those that have been given the right treatment?
    Do any other graphic formats offer this property?
    Anyone knows of a tutorial that thoroughly covers graphic formats, the inherent and acquired properties?

    It's not an image property, and you can apply text wrap to any object in ID, either to the bounding box or the object shape, or to a custom shape that you modify with the pen tool

  • Convert photo to line art?

    Dear Forum,
    I am trialing Elements and Illustrator but cannot find a solution in help or the forums, or any book at Borders, so I hope someone can help.  I am looking for a way to convert photos (JPEGS) of flowers to black line art......like a coloring book, not just black and white or grayscale or sylhouette. I will then print out the line art (1-2 pixel black line art) to clear acetate for use as a positive original for creating a silkscreen via photo emulsion exposure (and then silkscreen printing the line art to fabric for hand painting). I am doing this by hand now.....place a sheet of acetate over the photo and outlining "edges" by eye with a fine Sharpie, then using that as the positive original. See attached file for an example. The line art needs to be relatively detailed ( e.g. petals, stamen, leaves) but not absolutely perfect as I only need to print guide lines on fabric for subsequent hand painting. It seems easy to do by "eye", tracing edges of color or tone change, but I have not figured out how to make that happen in Elements or Illustrator. Of course I have only had the trial for a couple days, and have used live trace, posterization, etc, but have not been lucky. Please point me in the right direction. If I can make this happen with an Adobe product, then I will buy it.....I have hundreds of photos to convert. Thanks.....Bob

    If you use Threshold, you can add some gaussian blur to the image to make the edges smoother. You can also add a brightness/contrast adjustment layer between the blurred image and the threshold layer to fine tune the edges.
    If you have Windows, you might want to look at Medhi's Fine Threshold filter (freeware) found here:
    http://www.mehdiplugins.com/english/finethreshold.htm
    Edit: You could also use Find Edges on the image first; desaturate it; then use a threshold adjustment layer. Go back to the Find Edges layer and add gaussian blur to taste. To further fine tune, slip a brightness/contrast layer between the blurred image and the threshold to control line thickness/detail. (FWIW, I would make a copy of the Find Edges layer and blur the duplicate so if you change your mind you don't have to start the project from scratch.)

  • Converting photo to line art?

    I have Photoshop Elements 5.0 and want to know if there is a way to take a photograph and convert it into a line art image. I have tried a combination of a few different filters and have not been able to get the results I am looking for. Any thoughts?

    It is not easy, and works best if image does not have a great deal of texture. Try this:
    Open image
    Duplicate background layer
    Filter>other>High pass. Want small radius
    Filter>sketch>Notepaper. Try image balance=25, Grain=0, Relief=0
    Filter>adjustments>threshold. Work slider to get black & white image
    Use pencil tool to get rid of stray pixels

  • Can you change image to line art?

    Can you take an image (photograph of a person for example) and convert it to line art? If so, can you convert the whole picture to a black and white (no shades of gray) line art?
    Thanks!

    "Line art " can actually mean many things. Do you mean outlining in Black and White? There are some Actions on the Adobe Exchange that will do that or use Find Edges or Graphic Pen or some of the other Filters. There are also plugins you can get like Outliner.
    Or you might want to use Adobe Streamline to trace it in vector paths.

  • When saving an image in PS CS 6, and going back to Lightroom 5. The original image and the edited image are at the end of the line up.

    I'm using a Mac, Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS 6. I've started having an issue with the line up in Lightroom 5 after saving an image from PS CS 6. For some reason when I save the edited image form CS 6 it's taking the edited image and the original image and putting it at the end of the line up in Lightroom. If I take the edited image and move it to the right of the original it will put both of them back in the line up where they should be. How do I fix this. I've been looking in the menu for some kind of setting  with no luck.

  • Converting pic to line art

    I'm about to purchase some scale models I want to photograph, then turn the photos into line art so I can make alterations to them. Is it easier to turn a picture that is mostly white or very colorful into line art using Photoshop?
    Thanks guys!

    From a quick test:
    Load in your file.
    Save As to a new name to protect the original.
    Increase the contrast.
    In CS-4, go to Filters/Styilize/Trace Contour
    OR
    Filters/Styilize/Find Edges.
    Both will need fine tuning to get as close as possible to what you want.
    Desaturate to turn it grey scale.
    Adjust Levels to get the cut off as close as possible to where you want it.
    Erase out what you don't want.
    I was using a low contrast file and did get something that was line artish both ways.

  • What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

    What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

    What version of Illustrator? What do you mean by "Line Art"? What do you mean by "3d image"? Post images showing your starting artwork and an example of what you are trying to achieve.
    If you have Illustrator 12 or higher you can extrude or lathe a simple group or path using Effects > 3D > [Pick one]. You must start with vector data, not a placed raster image. You are very limited in what you can do, and you cannot model multiple objects within one 3D world. Each object you extrude/revolve/rotate is its own world, with its own perspective and camera. You can also make any art into a Symbol, then map that symbol onto any 3D surface you create. The results are, at best, acceptable, and often total garbage.

  • When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there anything I can do about this ?

    When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there any way to prevent this ?

    Hi Joe , Thank you for your quick response . I am viewing the jpeg in Microsoft Picture Manager and Flickr. It 's not always really noticeable , but for example if I shoot into the light with dew on the grass , the dew glistens in LRoom and I'm happy with the shot but when I convert it to jpeg ,it looks dull. I have changed the setting to sRGB - from Adobe 1998 ,but don't see much difference.  Kind regards   Alberto.

  • Trying to create transparent background on line art image

    I have an image that's black line are over a white background. I'm wanting to make that background transparent, and then lay it over another image so that only the dark lines show.
    I've tried making the background of the line art image transparent, and then Placing that image on top of the other image, but it came in with a white background. I'm looking for the full photoshop version equivalent of where you could select the background color, and set it to transparency.
    Also, give I have the line art image already placed on the background image, if there's a way to change the transparency of that image, that would be even better.
    I'm going by instructions on the support page "Change the background color of a document", but I'm not sure where it is I open the Fonts window.
    Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

    If you want to create a blank file with transparent background, go to File>new>blank file, then select "transparent" under Background Contents,
    If you open an image with a white background, the Background layer is a locked layer. Duplicate the background layer; it will titled background copy layer
    Now, shut off the visibility of the background layer. Then, access the magic wand tool, click on a white area, and hit delete on the keyboard. On this tool''s option bar, you will have to check or unckeck contiguous, depending on the configuration of background/foreground interface. The tolerance setting may have to be adjusted for optimal results. The checkerboard pattern denotes transparency.
    If you save your file, be sure to select a file type that supports transparency.

  • Thin white line between line art and live paint fill?

    I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations.  The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced.  Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill.  Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in.  If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill.  This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files.  If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?  I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
    Thank you for any help.    

    If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?
    Without knowing specifics,nobody knows.
    "Okay" for what?
    If it looks okay to you in Illustrator, then it's okay for viewing in Illustrator.
    If the export of it does not look okay in Photoshop at 1:1 or higher zoom, then it's probably not okay for whatever you're going to do with that raster image.
    If it's printed to a low-res composite printer, then it may be okay, because the printer may not be able to resolve the whitish pixels.
    If it's printed for commercial (color-separated) reproduction, it may not be okay, depending on the scale at which it will be printed, and on other considerations partially described below.
    The autotrace routine does not build traps. Typically, when you color-fill cartoon line art manually, you don't make the shapes that define the fills merely "kiss" the black line work, as would the default treatments of a stupid autotrace. The black line work typically overprints the fills, thereby creating printing traps.
    Suppose a portion of your cartoon is a hand-drawn closed circle. The black line work is irregular; it varies in width, having been drawn with a marker or a brush. The circle is colored in with a medium green. There are no sloppy gaps in the original between the green and the black.
    You scan it and autotrace it. Unless you apply some deliberate care to make it do otherwise, the autotrace is going to create a compound path, filled with black, and with no stroke; and a green simple path which (hopefully) exactly "kisses" (abuts) the black path. Adobe's on-screen antialiasing of the edge where the two colors abut may or may not cause your monitor to display a faint whitish or grayish sliver between the two colors.
    Similarly, Photoshop's rasterization of it, or the rasterization of a raster export filter may do the same, and may actually result in some off-color pixels along the edge. (Your description of the scenario kinda raises the question of why you are auto-tracing something that you're then just going to rasterize in Photoshop anyway. Why do that? Why not just work with the scan in Photoshop?.)
    So let's leave Photoshop out of the picture and assume you are autotracing it because you want vector artwork. You zoom way in to see if the whitish sliver enlarges. It doesn't, so you assume it's just an aberation of Illustrator's on-screen antialising. And then someone tells you you're in the clear. But are you? Not so fast.
    Let's assume the artwork is destined for commercial (color-separated) printing. Further assume the color of the autotraced black is 100% K, and the color of the autotraced green is 100Y 50C. Three inks involved. None of those three inks are shared between the two objects. So even if the paths do, in fact, perfectly abut, there is no "wiggle room" built in for the minor alignment shifts that almost aways do occur on press.
    Bottom line: Even if you do determine that the common antialiasing aberations that frequently occur on-screen in Adobe apps is just that—just an onscreen aberation, that does not necessarily mean your file is suitable for commercial color-separated reproduction.
    First, you need to understand that autotracing is not the one-click, instant "conversion" of a raster image to vector artwork that far too many think it to be. Just like everything else, you don't just launch a program like Illustrator, start autotracing things willy-nilly without understanding what's really going on. Just like anyting else, you can use an autotrace feature intelligently or...well...not.
    You have options. Illustrator provides an auto-trapping feature. Read up on it in the documentation so you understand what it's all about. Alternatively, you can expand the results of your autotrace, select all the black linework and apply a composite color that includes 100% K and reasonable percentages of C, M, and Y (a so-called "rich black"). Or,depending on the artwork and the desired results, you may consider doing the autotrace as centerlines so you have stroked paths, not just filled paths for the linework. That way, using the flood fill (so called LivePaint) will cause the auto-created fill objects to extend to the paths, not just to the edges of their strokes. Then set the linework to overprint.
    At any rate, if you are doing this professionally, you need to read up on the principles and practices of trapping and color separation.
