Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 724 Tracing outlines around your hedcut, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Deke] In this movie,…we're gonna take our faux hedcut effect so far,…complete with its contoured crosshatching lines,…and we're gonna make it look even better…by tracing around the outlines of the image…and converting the composition to black and white.…All right, so I'll go ahead and click…on the background down here at the bottom of the stack…inside the Layers panel.…And this background, by the way,…represents the original, albeit grayscale, photograph.…And now I'll jump a copy to a new layer…by pressing Control + Alt + J…or Command + Option + J on a Mac,…which will force the display of the New Layer dialog box.…
I'll go ahead and call this guy edge lines and click OK.…And then I'll move this layer to the top of the stack…just by dragging it upward like so.…All right, now I wanna apply a couple of filters…as dynamic Smart Filters.…Armed with my Rectangular Marquee,…which you can see is selected…up here near the top of the toolbox,…I'll right-click any old place inside the image window…and choose Convert to Smart Object.…
