How can I get this effect?

Hello! Good day to all.
I was wondering if any of you experienced photoshop users can help me to learn how to get this effect.
Here is the "before edition" image:
And here is the "after edition" image:
I got this effect playing around with filters in my Adobe Elements, but now that my father bought Photoshop CS6 Extended, I took advantage and installed it on my laptop aswell. The problem is, I have no idea how to use most of it.
I've been learning some tricks on YouTube tutorials and courses, but I just can't find the way to get this one effect.
I'm very gratefull for you taking the time to reading this and helping me, and I wish you a great day.

Lots of ways to do that. After applying the Threshold adjustment, you could use Gaussian blur followed by levels and drag the black and white sliders toward the center like this:
Or
You could use the Magic wand with Contiguous un-checked, and select the blacks.  Then use Refine Edge, and add some Smoothing, and wee bit of feather.  OK that and fill with black  (Alt/Opt backspace with black as your foreground colour)
Now invert the selection (Ctrl Shift i or Cmd Shift i) and fill with white.  You will loose fine detail acording to the settings you use in Refine edge - especiall the amount of Smoothing.
Or
Copy the layer with Ctrl/Cmd j
Add a new background layer, and fill with white.
Select the blacks with the magic wand (remember to uncheck contiguous in the Options bar), and with the selection in place, add a layer mask.
Now completely fill the layer (not the layer mask) with black.
You can now adjust the effect with the Mask Properties panel.  If you can get it right with Feather you can make as many adjustments as you like to fine tune, but if you use Mask edge, you only get one go because it is destructive editing.

  • WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

    WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
    first of  all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
    secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
    need help here....
    btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here  =)\

    For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
    then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
    The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
    You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
    Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
    You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
    I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.

  • How can I get this effect in Photoshop CS5.1?

    I want to turn a real image like http://bit.ly/pEx1ol
    into something like http://bit.ly/nfkoa4
    Is there a way to do that or do I have to start from scratch?

    Just fooling around with your image, using Stylize - Trace Contour to find significant lines, then filling the spaces with a color sampled from within the spaces, I came up with this in a few minutes.  Kind of a "paint by numbers" rendition.  This doesn't look much like your stylized cat illustration, though.

  • How can I get this effect in Illustrator

    I did a logo for a Barber Shop and the logo looks very plain. I was thinking about adding more detail to it like in the photo below. (Arrows point to the effect I'm trying to achieve.) Thanks in advance.

    Gradient meshes, blends, stacking multiple layers with reduced opacities and belnding modes. whatever it takes...

    Hi!
    I have a series of QuickTime files that I am trying to
    present in a nice
    interface. I know how I can create this effect in Flash- but
    given the
    number of .movs I have, I am thinking of sticking to QT. The
    example I have
    in mind is
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/quicktours/
    I went through the source code and tried to replicate it by
    changing some of
    the values but it does not seem to work. I thought about
    using frames to
    ease complication but I find frames cumbersome. I am open to
    suggestions but
    would prefer to keep the video clips in QT versus converting
    to FLV.
    Thank you.
    Kelvin

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Welcome to the forum.
    It will be difficult to compose this effect in FCE without commercial plugins like Nattress's Big Box of Tricks (G Glow dissolve).
    But you can try this: create a colorized transparent document (yellow and red around the frame) in Photoshop. Save in PNG. Import into FCE.
    Put it on V2, over the edit point for your video clips in V1.
    Try to keyframe opacity values, animate the position with erratic displacements and add some twirling or distord effects (that can be keyframed too).
    With some patience, I'm sure that you can achieve a such effect.

    Follow the steps in this article to restore from iTunes back up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Since you say you cant see the back up in iTunes you should be able to see it when following the last step where it says for iTunes 10.7 or earlier. Dont worry as this step also works for iTunes 11.

    (1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
    (2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
    It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY.

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

    Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.
