Fine Art Sketch Action

Thank you!

VERY happy to hear that! I hope it’ll be of continued use to you! Don’t forget to rate

Hi georgianajem,

as stated, this is not a filter, it is a Photoshop Action. You need to import it to your actions (a simple google search will tell you how, it’s very very easy), and you will find it in your Actions panel

Have you read the readme file, and applying the effect to a one-layered file?

I’m afraid my only suggestion would be to convert the file to the PSD format first. My only guess is that for some reason some of the effects can’t be applied to TIFF files, though no idea why. When I have some time later this week, I’ll try and do some research on it myself. The effect will largely depend on the colour (or rather, how similar colour the different areas are) and contrast of your original layer, so to vary the end result, mess around with the original layer, mainly in Levels or Curves

I’m afraid I’ve never encountered, nor heard of, that error message, and even a Google search brings up absolutely zero results for it, so I have no idea what that means. Could you be more specific? When does this happen, in what part of the action? What effect does it have on the action?

It’s weird that there would be an issue with TIFF files, but maybe Photoshop can’t handle certain filters on them… as I said, I’ll investigate I’m glad that otherwise the action is working well for you, and I hope with a little playing around, you get the effect you’re looking for

The effect will vary depending on your original photograph. Generally sizes around 1000-2500 pixels are good, and you should try to mess around with contrast, lighting and colour to get different results when running the action.

Sure, feel free to send me a screenshot, just contact me through the contact link on my profile file, and I’ll reply back with an email address to contact me on. Then, if you wish, you can also send one of the files you’ve tried on, so I can see if everything works as it should.

And you have read the README file, and made sure you’re using it correctly? If yes, feel free to contact me through the mail system on my profile, and I’ll get back to you later today with an email address you can send the file too, and I’ll gladly see if I can replicate the problem. Please also include information on the version of Photoshop you’re using, language, and so forth

Hi Joe, can you please send me an email at philip [at] mentalmirage.com with the image you are trying to use, and I will run the action and see myself.

If you could also send me a low-res version of the photoshop file, with your file included in that, the way you set it up to use the action, that would be great. That way I can be sure everything is like it should be.

It’s not a filter, it’s a Photoshop Action. You need to unzip the zip file, and the in your Photoshop Actions menu, you need to import the Action. After that, please read the README file for how to use it.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it!
