Adobe Photoshop and Painter 

1.Open a photograph in Painter. You will see that it is very large on the screen. Go to Window.Zoom to fit. Zoom out again until the image is small enough to fit two such images on the screen comfortably. To give yourself space for working make sure to close the palettes that you do not need. (You can re-open them later by going to Window...Show palettes.) You will only use the Tools, Brushes and Controls brush.

2.Go to File.Clone. (You will see a duplicate image. Repeat the re-sizing as above to fit the space on the screen so the two photos lie side by side.) Select. All. Edit..Clear. Go to the Brushes and choose the Clone brush. (This looks like two squares, one above the other.) Drawing with the Clone Brush on the blank picture will bring up the underlying photograph in "real media" effects. There are many options in the Clone Brushes. (Try using any of them to see resulting effects.) For this picture, use the Flat Impasto Brush or the Chalk Cloner. You can paint using a regular Mouse but it is much easier if you have a graphics tablet because the drawing flows more easily using the Wacom pen. Draw along with the flow of the image, changing the direction of the brushstrokes as if you were painting a real picture. The Cloned image now looks like a real painting.

3.When the painting is to your satisfaction, save it as a jpeg and re-open in Photoshop. (If you did not have the Painter software you can open a photo now in Photoshop, use a filter to give a painting effect.Filter.Palette Knife. Edit.Fade Palette Knife.60% and proceed with the next instructions.) Make a Duplicate Layer. This layer is called Background copy. Image.Adjust.Auto Levels. To make the sepia effect, go to Image.Adjust.Hue and Saturation. Tick the little white box on the right to "colorize" and bring down the Saturation and Hue pointers to around 14/11 or until you are happy with the colour.

4.Make a Duplicate Layer. This layer is called Background Copy 2. Filter.Sketch.Conté Crayon. Choose Foreground Level. 11. Background Level . 7 and Texture. Canvas. Go to the Layers palette and change the Layer Blending mode of Background Copy 2 to Soft Light. If you scroll down the Blending Modes - by selecting Normal.then the Down Arrow key.this will scroll down the blending modes quickly so you can see the different effects of the Conté Crayon filter. You can experiment with the different Sketch filters and try varying the Blending Modes on each layer. At the final stage you might sharpen the image slightly - Filter.Sharpen.Unsharp Mask.

5. Conté Drawing.
