To do that, 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 duplicate a layer, simply 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\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/new-layer-via-copy.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the New Layer via Copy command from the Layers menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"223\" height=\"149\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Layer &gt; New &gt; Layer via Copy.<\/div>\n<p>Nothing will seem to have happened with the image, but if we look in the Layers panel, we see that  a copy of the Background layer has appeared between the original  and the Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/background-copy.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the Background copy layer.\" width=\"281\" height=\"235\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the new <em>Background copy<\/em> layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Invert The Image<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we need to invert the layer. Go up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>Adjustments<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Invert<\/strong>. Or, press <strong>Ctrl+I<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+I<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard for the shortcut:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/image-adjustments-invert.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Invert command from under the Image menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"223\" height=\"143\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Image &gt; Adjustments &gt; Invert.<\/div>\n<p>This inverts the image, giving it a film negative appearance:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/image-inverted.jpg\" alt=\"The image now appears inverted.\" width=\"370\" height=\"550\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image is now inverted.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Change The Layer Blend Mode To Color Dodge<\/h3>\n<p>In the upper left of the Layers panel, change the <strong>blend mode<\/strong> of the Background copy layer from Normal (the default blend mode) to <strong>Color Dodge<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/color-dodge-blend-mode.gif\" alt=\"Changing the blend mode of the layer to Color Dodge.\" width=\"292\" height=\"254\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the blend mode of the layer to Color Dodge.<\/div>\n<p>This will turn the image white. As with my image, you may still see a few small areas of black remaining, but for the most part, it should now appear white (don't worry about the dark border around my image in the screenshot. It's just Photoshop's gray pasteboard area and not part of the effect):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/image-color-dodge.gif\" alt=\"The image after changing the blend mode to Color Dodge.\" width=\"312\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after changing the blend mode to Color Dodge.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 7: Convert The Layer Into A Smart Object <\/h3>\n<p>One thing I like to do whenever possible is take advantage of Photoshop's <strong>Smart Filters<\/strong>, which keep the filters we apply to an image fully editable in case we want to go back later  and change some of the settings. In a moment, we're going to apply the Gaussian Blur filter, but before we do, let's make sure we'll be applying it as a Smart Filter.<\/p>\n<p>For that, we first need to convert the layer to a <strong>Smart Object<\/strong>. With the Background copy layer still selected, click on the small <strong>menu icon<\/strong> in the upper right corner of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/layers-panel-menu-icon.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the Layers panel menu icon.\" width=\"293\" height=\"202\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Layers panel menu icon.<\/div>\n<p>Choose <strong>Convert to Smart Object<\/strong> from the list that appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/convert-to-smart-object.gif\" alt=\"Choosing the Convert to Smart Object command from the Layers panel menu.\" width=\"251\" height=\"150\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Choosing &quot;Convert to Smart Object&quot;<\/div>\n<p>Once again, nothing will seem to have happened, but a small <strong>Smart Object icon<\/strong> appears in the lower right corner of the layer's <strong>preview thumbnail<\/strong> letting us know it's been converted into a Smart Object:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/smart-object-icon.gif\" alt=\"The Smart Object icon in the layer's preview thumbnail.\" width=\"281\" height=\"234\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new Smart Object icon in the preview thumbnail.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 8: Apply The Gaussian Blur Filter<\/h3>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>Blur<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Gaussian Blur<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/filter-blur-gaussian-blur.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Gaussian Blur filter.\" width=\"157\" height=\"124\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Filter &gt; Blur &gt; Gaussian Blur.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Gaussian Blur dialog box. To create our main sketch effect, all we need to do is apply some blurring to this layer. To do that, click on the <strong>Radius<\/strong> slider at the bottom of the dialog box and begin slowly dragging it towards the right to apply a slight amount of blur. Keep an eye on the image as you drag and you'll see it beginning to look more and more like a sketch. Don't drag too far, though, as too much blurring will make it look like a photo again. A little blurring is all we need.<\/p>\n<p>There's no specific Radius value to choose here since it will depend both on the size of your image and on what you think looks best. For me, I'll set my Radius value to around 12 pixels:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/gaussian-blur-filter.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the Radius slider in the Gaussian Blur dialog box.\" width=\"344\" height=\"352\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the Radius slider to apply a small amount of blurring.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to accept your setting and close out of the Gaussian Blur dialog box. Here's my result:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/image-sketch.jpg\" alt=\"The sketch effect after applying the Gaussian Blur filter.\" width=\"370\" height=\"550\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The sketch effect after applying the Gaussian Blur filter.<\/div>\n<p>As I mentioned a moment ago, one of the great benefits of applying a filter as a Smart Filter is that we can easily go back and edit its settings later if needed. If we look again in the Layers panel, we see the Gaussian Blur filter listed as a Smart Filter below its Smart Object. If at any point you feel your sketch effect could use a bit more fine-tuning, simply <strong>double-click<\/strong> directly on the words <strong>Gaussian Blur<\/strong> to re-open its dialog box and re-adjust the Radius value:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/gaussian-blur-smart-filter.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the Gaussian Blur Smart Filter below the Smart Object.\" width=\"281\" height=\"218\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking on the Gaussian Blur Smart Filter will re-open it for further editing.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 9: Add A Levels Adjustment Layer<\/h3>\n<p>We've created our main sketch effect, but it's a bit too light. Let's darken it, and we can do that using a Levels adjustment layer. In the <strong>Adjustments panel<\/strong> again, click on the <strong>Levels<\/strong> icon (second icon from the left, top row):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/adjustments-panel-levels.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the Levels icon in the Adjustments panel.\" width=\"235\" height=\"167\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Levels icon in the Adjustments panel.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop adds a Levels adjustment layer named <em>Levels 1<\/em> directly above the <em>Background copy<\/em> Smart Object (and below the Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/levels-adjustment-layer.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the new Levels 1 adjustment layer.\" width=\"281\" height=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the new Levels 1 adjustment layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 10: Change The Blend Mode To Multiply<\/h3>\n<p>The controls and options for the Levels adjustment layer appear in the Properties panel, but we don't actually need them. Instead, to darken our sketch effect, all we need to do is change the <strong>blend mode<\/strong> of the Levels adjustment layer from Normal to <strong>Multiply<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/levels-multiply.gif\" alt=\"Changing the blend mode of the Levels adjustment layer to Multiply.\" width=\"300\" height=\"253\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the blend mode of the Levels adjustment layer to Multiply.<\/div>\n<p>The Multiply blend mode is one of the <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/intro\/\">five most commonly used blend modes in Photoshop<\/a>, and simply by changing the Levels adjustment layer to Multiply, we've managed to darken the sketch effect quickly and easily:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/image-multiply.jpg\" alt=\"The sketch effect is now darker.\" width=\"370\" height=\"550\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The effect after changing the blend mode to Multiply.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 11: Lower The Opacity If Needed<\/h3>\n<p>If you find that your sketch  is now too dark, you can brighten it back up by lowering the opacity of the Levels adjustment layer. You'll find the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> option directly across from the blend mode option at the top of the Layers panel. By default,  opacity is set to 100%. I'll lower mine to around 60%:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/opacity-60.gif\" alt=\"Lowering the opacity of the Levels adjustment layer.\" width=\"281\" height=\"253\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lowering the opacity of the Levels adjustment layer.<\/div>\n<p>And now my image is a little bit lighter:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/imge-opacity.jpg\" alt=\"The effect after lowering the layer opacity.\" width=\"370\" height=\"550\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The effect after lowering the layer opacity.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 12: Select And Duplicate The Background Layer Again<\/h3>\n<p>At this point, the basic  sketch effect is complete, but if you want to bring back some of the photo's original color, you'll want to continue on with these last few steps. First, click on the <strong>Background layer<\/strong> (the original one, not the copy) to select it and make it active once again:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/select-background-layer-again.gif\" alt=\"The effect after lowering the layer opacity.\" width=\"281\" height=\"252\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the <em>Background<\/em> layer to select it.<\/div>\n<p>Then, just as we did back in Step 4, duplicate the Background layer by going up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, 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:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/new-layer-via-copy.gif\" alt=\"Again selecting the New Layer via Copy command from the Layers menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"223\" height=\"149\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Once again going to Layer &gt; New &gt; Layer via Copy.<\/div>\n<p>A second copy of the Background layer, this one cleverly named <em>Background copy 2<\/em>, will appear directly above the original:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/portrait-to-sketch\/background-copy-2.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the new Background copy 2 layer.\" width=\"281\" height=\"314\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the new <em>Background copy 2<\/em> layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 13: Rename The Layer \"Color\"<\/h3>\n<p>We're going to use this layer to colorize our sketch, so rather than putting up with Photoshop's generic layer names like \"Background copy 2\", let's name the layer something more descriptive. <strong>Double-click<\/strong> directly on the words <em>Background copy 2<\/em>, which will select and highlight the name, then rename it <strong>Color<\/strong>.
