Why Do Witches Burn?
PostTue Sep 04, 2018 8:33 pm 
Wondering if anyone knows of an app or maybe a technique in Photoshop that can convert a picture of something to simple outlines, like what you get in a coloring book. I'd like to make a coloring book of some of my pictures and send it to my nieces. Anyone know how to do that? I can imagine ending up with something resembling this image:

Check out Prisma. I’ve used it as a jumping off point for stained glass patterns, so I expect you would be able to do coloring book-type things too.

Thank you, I'll look into that.

Photoshop CS3 (old version, for Mac) has a menu called "Filter". There's stuff to play with in there. Under the sub-menu, "Stylize" and then (sub-sub menu) "Trace Contour..." is one that comes close but it's not half as clean as your example. Also try the filter: Filter --> Sketch --> Photocopy (set Detail to a very low number; set Darkness to a high number) (Photocopy might be better than Trace Contour)

I used to use Illustrator for just this. It has an outline feature.

And the meek shall inherit the Earth...um...if that's ok with you.
