Turn a photo into an illustration! Threshold by Path in Photoshop 2019

[@murder-br4cl]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A TUTORIAL THAT MADE THRESHOLD EDGES SMOOTH THANK YOU

[@psgips]

Thank you for your kind comment. The Threshold by Path can also be applied to posterization boundaries. I'm glad if it helped you in some way. Thank you!

[@TimarAlexandra]

Hi can you send me the link how to find this program to download it

[@Mrlloydvideos]

same, hope someone does one. In WlLR it's smooth threshold

[@TPToE]

Exactly what I was looking for - thanks so much! The best solution to smoothing threshold I'd found prior to this was blurring and then adjusting curves or levels to resharpen the edges, but detail is lost via that method. This, on the other hand, works perfectly!

Hi can you send me the link how to find this program to download it

[@AsBi1]

so how do you export this vector image? which format to retain the vector features

[@psgips]

In the Layers panel, Select [Color Fill]. [File]-[Export]-[Paths to Illustrator]. However, this only exports the path. The copy-and-paste method is faster. For example, for versatility, you can save the document in which you created the Work Path in JPEG format.

[@AsBi1]

@@psgips jpg is raster format not vector but i just learned I can export to photoshop pdf format and it will retain the vectors

[@psgips]

@@AsBi1 Thank you for your reply. Sure, PDF format is best. Also available in EPS format. These will appear in the Format menu via [File]-[Save Cory].

[@quviko]

Great tutorial man, I really appreciate it, I was able to accomplish my objective creating the vector image, although is very well explained, I might suggest to minimize the steps intro. But anyway, great job! ✌😎👍.

[@lisamcgoverngraphicdesignl3990]

I am going to try your technique and thank you for sharing your video. What is the resolution set for at 3:02 and how big can this b&w image be scaled for printing?

[@psgips]

There is no limit to the scaling of the image after it is completed. Because it's a vector image built with Path. Therefore, setting 300 pixels/inch, which is the resolution for printing, does not cause any problem. You should be careful about color mode conversion. Thank you!

[@espresso9817]

Why I cannot adjust the fuzziness and the other stuff below it?

[@psgips]

I've had questions similar to yours. If your operation is correct, I think it's a bug. It seems to happen in version CS6. What version of Photoshop are you using? There is also a comment that it worked fine after reinstalling Photoshop. I hope you will go well.

[@nickyb4000]

Awesome tutorial. For some reason though my fuzziness and range are greyed out... very frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[@psgips]

Thank you for your kind comment. Could it be that...? Isn't the material you chose missing a shadow area? As [Fuzziness] in [Color Range] approaches 0%, the gradation level decreases.

[@nickyb4000]

@@psgips Thanks so much! I reinstalled photoshop and that work. The effects from your tutorial were amazing - great to see in action!

[@psgips]

Thank you for your reply. I'm glad if it helped you in some way. Many thanks!

[@zahrashakoor1489]

hello...When i choose the shadows in select then i can’t give percent to fuzziness and Range...what should i do?

[@psgips]

My prediction is that it's already a defined state. You should check [Shadows] again. If all settings are correct, the [Fuzziness] and [Range] input boxes will be active. Thank you!

[@varshabajaj6900]

which software ?? please help me need urgently

[@psgips]

This video uses Adobe Photoshop 2019. It is compatible if the version is CS6 or later.

[@KeyIntelMedia]

how do you work with a low resolution picture or snapshot from a video? Threshold seems to struggle with less detail available.

[@psgips]

Since it will be difficult at low resolutions, why not try upsampling? Preserve Details 2.0 enables highly accurate upsampling. For example, even a 1600% enlargement would give good results. I hope you will go well.

[@KeyIntelMedia]

@@psgips tried upsampling but I really didnt see any dramatic effect with these screenshots from a youtube video. Like for example applying oil paint filter has virtually no effect I guess because not enough detail to find the contrast areas. Not sure.

[@psgips]

@@KeyIntelMedia Even a slight difference in gradation can be divided into black and white. Because there are 256 levels of grayscale. If the detail is not appropriate, the only thing you can do is change the subject material itself. I hope you will go well.

[@sudioukjaisz5627]

it's okay to rasterize the vector? it ask me to do so when i want to edit it. thanks for your video it's help

[@psgips]

Thank you for your kind comment. It's okay to rasterize. However, do so only after you have sized it for the finished product. That's because rasterization determines the current number of pixels. Alternatively, you can save the vector as the original file in PSD format and then output it in rasters such as JPEG format or PNG format.

[@sudioukjaisz5627]

@@psgips this is exactly what i did. i appreciate your help.

[@psgips]

Thank you for your reply. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

[@graymatters7584]

Everything I get with this technique yields a negative image. Layer one becomes a negative image. This may reflect changes to the software with Photoshop 2022? I can invert that with an adjustment layer and move on. We'll see how that works.

[@psgips]

I confirmed in Photoshop 2022. You should check the following operations. 03:54 In [Color Range], turn on [Invert]. 05:28 In [Color Range], turn off [Invert]. These operations are for preview purposes, and Color Range makes a selection in the white area. I hope you will go well.

[@rogerbeltz2370]

I like the "effect" created here but without vocals and the video running so fast, impossible for me to determine exactly how this was created. I can follow some of it but not all of it.

@@psgips Yes please I do have a question. (I am using PSCS6 on an iMac running OSX 10.11.6) When I choose Color Range and then select "Shadows" both, the Fuzziness and Range sliders become greyed out and unusable. Can you explain why this is occurring? Thank you much. Roger

[@psgips]

Thank you for your reply. I've had questions similar to yours. I'm not in an environment to boot CS 6. I'm not sure if this information is reliable... Right after [Select] - [Color Range], remove the [Detect Faces] and [Localized Color Clusters] checkbox.

[@rogerbeltz2370]

@@psgips Appreciate the reply but 'no' that doesn't solve problem. Also, I made sure I was working in RGB color space and tried both, 8-bit and 16-bit. Honestly, I have never, even after 27 years of working in Photoshop, had any success when using the Color Range filter. Thanks much anyway.

[@psgips]

I found the following article in the Photoshop Forum. The operation guarantee for CS 6 ends at 10.9. Bugs in Photoshop may be resolved by resetting Preferences. I hope it goes well.

[@germainecepada4448]

Same problem the fuzziness and range are greyedout

[@psgips]

The [Fuzziness] and [Range] greyed out after you set [Shadows]? It's at 03:30 in the video. If you set [Highlights] or [Midtones] and it is grayed out, it is probably an error. I hope you will go well.

[@germainecepada4448]

Let me try again! Thank you so much for your help. 😊

[@nightss2826]

how to do it on mobile?
