- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's techniques.…This week I'm going to introduce you…to the art of contour mapping inside Photoshop.…Specifically we'll take this portrait shot…and then we'll turn it into a bright and blurry…displacement map for reasons that I think…will become obvious over the course of this movie.…And then we're going to use the displacement map…to distort a basic horizontal line pattern…so that the lines trace along the contours…of the woman's face.…Here, let me show you exactly hot it works.…

Alright, here's the final affect,…just so you have a chance to see it on screen.…We're going to start things off by creating…a displacement map that we'll use…to create these contoured lines.…And I'm going to start off inside this photograph…which comes to us from the Dreamstime image library,…about which you can learn more…and get some great deals at dreamstime.com/deke.php.…I'll go ahead and click on the background item here,…and I'll make a duplicate of it…by right-clicking in the image window…
