It's really just one change in one of the steps that makes all the difference. So as an added bonus for those already familiar with the previous tutorial, at the end of this one, we'll learn how to create the entire sketch effect from beginning to end in 60 seconds or less!

This way, all of the changes we make will be made to the copy, leaving the original photo unharmed. If we look in the Layers panel, we see our image sitting all by itself on the <strong>Background layer<\/strong>, which is currently the only layer in the document:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/photoshop-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"The Background layer in Photoshop.\" width=\"271\" height=\"225\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the photo on the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, choose <strong>New<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Layer via Copy<\/strong>. Or, for a faster way to run the same command, press <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/layer-new-layer-via-copy.gif\" alt=\"The New Layer via Copy command in Photoshop.\" width=\"212\" height=\"149\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Layer > New > Layer via Copy.<\/div>\n<p>Either way makes a copy of the layer. Photoshop automatically names the copy \"Layer 1\" and places is above the Background layer in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/layer-1.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop Layer 1.\" width=\"271\" height=\"239\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A copy of the image appears above the original.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Desaturate The Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>Adjustments<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Desaturate<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/desaturate.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop Desaturate command.\" width=\"222\" height=\"128\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.<\/div>\n<p>The Desaturate command quickly removes all color from the image, leaving it in black and white:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/image-desaturated.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop desaturated image.\" width=\"452\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after running the Desaturate command.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Duplicate The Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Just as we did in Step 1, make a copy of the layer by going up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu, choosing <strong>New<\/strong>, then choosing <strong>Layer via Copy<\/strong>, or by pressing <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard. A copy of Layer 1 appears above the original in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/layer-1-copy.gif\" alt=\"Layer 1 copy.\" width=\"271\" height=\"300\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop names the new layer \"Layer 1 copy\".<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Invert The Image<\/h3>\n<p>Go  up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu, choose <strong>Adjustments<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Invert<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/invert.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop Invert command.\" width=\"223\" height=\"120\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Image > Adjustments > Invert.<\/div>\n<p>This will invert the brightness values in our black and white image, making light areas dark and dark areas light:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/image-inverted.jpg\" alt=\"The image after inverting the brightness values in Photoshop.\" width=\"452\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Inverting a black and white image creates a \"photo negative\" effect.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Change The Layer Blend Mode To Color Dodge<\/h3>\n<p>Change the <strong><a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/\">blend mode<\/a><\/strong> of the inverted layer from Normal (the default setting) to <strong>Color Dodge<\/strong>. You'll find the blend mode option in the top left of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/color-dodge.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop Color Dodge blend mode.\" width=\"285\" height=\"201\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Change the layer blend mode from Normal to Color Dodge.<\/div>\n<p>This will temporarily turn the document white:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/image-color-dodge.gif\" alt=\"The image appears white.\" width=\"397\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The document becomes filled with white.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Apply The Minimum Filter<\/h3>\n<p>Up to this point, the steps have been the same as in the previous tutorial where we turned a portrait into a sketch. In that tutorial, we used Photoshop's Gaussian Blur filter to create the sketch effect by blurring the layer. This time, we want more detail in the sketch than what the Gaussian Blur filter would give us, so we'll use a different filter. Go up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>Other<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Minimum<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/filter-other-minimum.gif\" alt=\"Photoshop Minimum filter.\" width=\"350\" height=\"148\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Filter > Other > Minimum.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Minimum filter dialog box. Leave the <strong>Radius<\/strong> value at the bottom of the dialog box set to <strong>1 pixel<\/strong>, then click OK to close out of it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/photoshop-minimum-filter.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop Minimum filter dialog box.\" width=\"343\" height=\"342\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The default Radius value of 1 pixel usually works great.<\/div>\n<p>The photo is instantly converted into a sketch with lots of fine detail, much more than what we could have achieved with the Gaussian Blur filter:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/image-minimum.jpg\" alt=\"The photo has been converted into a sketch with the Minimum filter.\" width=\"452\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The initial sketch with lots of detail.<\/div>\n<p>Next, we'll darken the sketch lines, colorize it, and learn how to complete the entire effect in 60 seconds or less!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Merge The Layers Onto A New Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Hold down your <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key and, with the key still held down, go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu and choose <strong>Merge Visible<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/merge-visible.gif\" alt=\"The Merge Visible command in Photoshop.\" width=\"253\" height=\"119\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold down Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) and go to Layer > Merge Visible.<\/div>\n<p>This will merge all of the existing layers onto a brand new layer, \"Layer 2\", above them:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/layer-2.gif\" alt=\"Merged layers in Photoshop.\" width=\"271\" height=\"299\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Holding down Alt \/ Option (Mac) while choosing Merge Visible keeps the original layers intact.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 8: Change The Blend Mode To Multiply And Adjust The Layer Opacity<\/h3>\n<p>Change the <strong>blend mode<\/strong> of Layer 2 from Normal to <strong>Multiply<\/strong>. This will darken the lines in the sketch. If you find the sketch is now too dark, lower the layer's <strong>Opacity<\/strong> value, which you'll find to the right of the blend mode option. Keep an eye on the image in the document window as you lower the opacity to fine-tune the results. I'll lower mine down to 65%:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/multiply-opacity.gif\" alt=\"The blend mode and Opacity options in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"291\" height=\"196\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Change the blend mode to Multiply, then lower the Opacity value.<\/div>\n<p>Here's my result with the sketch lines now darker:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/photoshop-photo-to-sketch.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop photo to sketch effect.\" width=\"452\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The sketch now appears darker against the white background.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 9: Duplicate The Background Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Let's add color to the sketch using the colors from the original image, which is sitting safely on the Background layer. First, click on the Background layer in the Layers panel to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/select-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Background layer in the Layers panel.\" width=\"271\" height=\"197\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the Background layer to select it.<\/div>\n<p>With the Background layer selected, make a copy of it by going up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu, choosing <strong>New<\/strong>, then choosing <strong>Layer via Copy<\/strong>, or by pressing <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard. Photoshop duplicates the layer, names the copy \"Background copy\" and places it directly above the original Background layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/background-copy.gif\" alt=\"Duplicating the Background layer in Photoshop.\" width=\"271\" height=\"299\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop always places a copy of a layer directly above the original.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 10: Move The Background Copy Above The Other Layers<\/h3>\n<p>Press <strong>Shift+Ctrl+]<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Command+]<\/strong> (Mac) to instantly jump the Background copy layer to the top of the layer stack so it sits above the merged layer (Layer 2). The original photo will once again appear in the document window:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/jump-layer.gif\" alt=\"Jumping a layer to the top of the layer stack in Photoshop.\" width=\"271\" height=\"299\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Background copy layer jumps above the other layers.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 11: Change The Blend Mode To Color And Adjust The Layer Opacity<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, change the <strong>blend mode<\/strong> of the Background copy layer from Normal to <strong>Color<\/strong>, which will colorize the sketch. If the color seems too intense, lower the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> value until you're happy with the results. I'll lower my opacity down to 50%:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/color-opacity.gif\" alt=\"Changing the blend mode to Color and lowering the layer opacity.\" width=\"290\" height=\"200\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Change the blend mode to Color and lower the opacity if needed.<\/div>\n<p>Here, after colorizing the sketch, is my final result. I've cropped away some of the empty background with the <strong><a href=\"\/photo-editing\/crop-images\/\">Crop Tool<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/photo-sketch\/photo-to-sketch-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Photo to detailed, colored sketch in Photoshop.\" width=\"578\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final colorized \"photo to sketch\" effect.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">Photo To Sketch In 60 Seconds Or Less<\/h2>\n<p>As promised at the beginning of the tutorial, here's how to create this same photo to sketch effect in 60 seconds or less, using keyboard shortcuts for most of the work! Before you begin, make sure the <strong>Move Tool<\/strong> is selected at the top of the Tools panel, otherwise some of the keyboard shortcuts won't work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> With the photo newly opened in Photoshop, press <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) to <strong>duplicate<\/strong> the Background layer.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Press <strong>Shift+Ctrl+U<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Command+U<\/strong> (Mac) to <strong>desaturate<\/strong> the layer.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Press <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) to <strong>duplicate<\/strong> the desaturated layer.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Press <strong>Ctrl+I<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+I<\/strong> (Mac) to <strong>invert<\/strong> the layer.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Press <strong>Shift+Alt+D<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Option+D<\/strong> (Mac) to change the blend mode to <strong>Color Dodge<\/strong>.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Filter<\/strong> > <strong>Other<\/strong> > <strong>Minimum<\/strong>. Leave the <strong>Radius<\/strong> value set to <strong>1 pixel<\/strong> and click OK to close out of the filter's dialog box.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Press <strong>Shift+Alt+Ctrl+E<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Option+Command+E<\/strong> (Mac) to merge the layers onto a new layer above the others.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 8:<\/strong> Press <strong>Shift+Alt+M<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Option+M<\/strong> (Mac) to change the blend mode of the merged layer to <strong>Multiply<\/strong>, which darkens the sketch effect.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 9:<\/strong> Lower the layer <strong>Opacity<\/strong> value if the sketch now appears too dark.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 10:<\/strong> Click on the <strong>Background layer<\/strong> in the Layers panel to select it, then press <strong>Ctrl+J<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+J<\/strong> (Mac) to duplicate it.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 11:<\/strong> Press <strong>Shift+Ctrl+]<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Command+]<\/strong> (Mac) to jump the Background copy layer to the top of the layer stack.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 12:<\/strong> Press <strong>Shift+Alt+C<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Option+C<\/strong> (Mac) to change the blend mode to <strong>Color<\/strong> to colorize the sketch.<br \/>\n    <strong>Step 13:<\/strong> Lower the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> value to reduce the intensity of the color if needed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<aside>\n<p>And there we have it!
