How do I achieve this line art effect?

I'm trying to replicate the design below but I'm not sure if I'm using the correct approach.
First, I used Photoshop to desaturated an image and adjusted the levels. Next I imported into Illustrator and live traced it after tweaking the options.
However, I can't seem to have a nice clean line art like the one above. Do you think that design use another method (maybe manually tracing multiple images using the pen tool)?

that image you show is drawn or mostly drawn. you can use image trace to get some of the shapes you need and recomposition the pieces back together. for example on the image you want to copy, i would take an image of the skyline and trace that. select the silhouette of the skyline and delete everything else. then i would do the silhouette of the bridge. then i would trace with different settings to get a few of the details in the bridge and put them on top. then draw in a few details by hand. things like straight lines.
anyway. short answer is that no, there is no illustrator effect that can give you that. it's a lot of work

  • Particle effect -how to achieve this kind of effect exactly

    Hello   please help me to achieve this type of flickering particle effect.  how to achieve this in After effect  which is shown at 0.8 sec to 0.11  in the attached link video. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-video-2682258-hearts.php

    I can't give you the exact settings but you could use Trapcode Particular with a custom particle or CC Particle world. Just turn gravity to 0 and set up a custom particle.
    Your particle layer will be behind the spinning hearts layer. This should get you going in the right direction.

  • I want to delete my current exchange account. How can I achieve this and not lose stored information such as contacts, photos etc. please help. Thank you.

    I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
    Thank you,

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

  • Line art effect?

    does fcpx have the line art effect?

    Nope, not as such ... but a combination of the built in Graphic and Sketch filters should get you something usuable.
    Then again, Line Art is directly available in Motion 5 so if you have that as well as FCPX you can easily use that instead (or just use it to publish Line Art as an effect in FCP X)

  • Suggest an IDEA how we can achieve this

    Hi Folks
       I have the below requirement:
    Can you please anyone give me the idea how we can achieve this.
    Requirement is:
    Some body in the organization (Representative ) will raise the salesorder .
    When the sales order is created and when the creator  pressed the save button,an email with that order details has to be send to that Representative.
    This Representative will have the supervisor and based on the Representative using some ztable we have to fetch the Supervisor ID and based on that id we have to get the supervisor's mail id and the same mail has to be sent to that Supervisor also.
    Similarly one big boss is there for all these process.
    The mail with the similar content has to sent to that big Boss also.
    All these has to be carried out when the creator of the sales order press the Save Button.
    Points are assured for useful and correct answers.
    Regards,
    Sreeram

    Hi Sreeram,
    I would try to archive this by using the workflow. The workflow should start when the sales order is saved. The event "salesorder create" you can used for starting the workflow. The Workflow functionality is good documeted by the SAP standard documetation.
    Best regards
    Dirk

    If you don't have it in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library, nor on your backup of your downloads, then if it is still in the store then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I would like the row color to alternate in pairs - for example, two rows of grey then two rows of white.  How do I achieve this format?

    I would like the row color to alternate in pairs - for example, two rows of grey then two rows of white.  How do I achieve this format?

    Hi OldRailroadMan,
    Here is one way. Start with a table with no fill (or white).
    Change the fill of the first two rows.
    Select cells in the first four rows.
    Drag the yellow Fill Handle down.
    For some reason this does not work if you select whole rows (by clicking on the row numbers at the left).
    When you are happy with the result, Menu > File > Save As Template.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • When i push the off button, i want my iphone 5 to stay unlocked for 3 or 4 minutes: how do I achieve this please?

    When i push the off button, i want my iphone 5 to stay unlocked for 3 or 4 minutes: how do I achieve this please?

    When you say you want it to stay unlocked, do you mean that you don't want to have to swipe to unlock it if you push the home button in that time, or do you mean you don't want to have to ender your passcode if you turn it back on within that time?
    If you're referring to the passcode lock, Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Requie Passcode. Set the interval you want.
    If you can't change the time before it request the passcode, that's likely because you have an Exchange account set up on the phone and the administrator is enforcing a policy that requires passcode entry immediatly after placing the phone in standby.

  • How do I achieve this effect in Photoshop CS5?

    Hi all,
    I'm using Photoshop CS5 and I'd like to know how can I achieve the following effect: I have a full color picture of a woman, like the one below, and I would like to replicate this effect in which the full color woman is blended with the background turning her into purple and black only.
    I'm a newbie, and I am not too familiar with the 'channels' concept, so I would appreciate some specific reply -not necessarily step-by-step but almost, lol!
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Instead of using channels, you can convert your image to black and white then create a new layer and fill that layer with your color of choice, then either use the blend modes and/or reduce the opacity until it looks good to you.
    Another way is use the black and white adjustment layer and enable the colorize check box and choose purple.
    If I recall the hue/saturation/luminance adjustment layer also has a colorize check box. (I would check but I am in the process of redoing my drive)
