Here’s a super cool Gold Members only video. It goes for approx. 21:26 minutes (a long one for me!). Covering exactly how to create this type of effect below. (see the before and after photos below!) It’s very cool and you’ll soon see that it is not difficult to create either. The video is larger + high resolution (in actual screen size) than all the other videos on the site. So let me know if you want them this big or not!

Creating cool chalk and charcoal effects is easy with the chalk and charcoal filter in Photoshop CS4. You’ll find it in the Filter tab under the sketch menu. (Filter>Sketch>Chalk & Charcoal.)

1. Open your image then select the chalk and charcoal filter from the sketch menu under the filter tab.

2. The light areas of your picture will inherit the background colors and the dark areas will inherit the foreground colors.

3. Set the chalk and charcoal areas in the middle of the settings range so you can increase or decrease the effect as needed. Set it to 10 or less.

4. Experiment with the pressure. Start at 2 or 3 then adjust the numbers ’til you get the view looking the way you want it. Again, experiment here.

5. Click OK to apply the filter

6. Look at the result and decide if you like it or not.

Once satisfied with the result, save your work.
