In this tutorial, Geoff Riggs will show you a more creative and effective way of achieving the same effects without affecting the image layer itself.



6 - Feather Masking (Running Time: 1:55)

11 - Converting an Image into a Pencil Sketch (Running Time: 7:24)

Photoshop's "sketch" filter is definitely NOT the best way to go about achieving a sketchy photo effect.
