You can make a color photo look like an artistic silk screen print. Tiling multiple
identical images and changing their colors will produce a sense of rhythm, adding "life" to the
print. Images suitable for this purpose are those with a sharp contrast between the black and white areas.
This technique is useful in designing posters, postcards, or similar material. |

In this example, a color image is first converted into a grayscale image,
although a monochrome image may be used as well. For each shading level, adjust [Color Balance] to make the
image look flat, similar to an illustration. Next, use [Filter] to detect the contour of the shaded area.
Then, define the color boundary. |

1.Converting an image into
grayscale and deleting unwanted areas
Change an image into a grayscale image, roughly select the unwanted background areas, and delete
them. Duplicate and hide this layer. This is a preparatory step before actual processing. |

2.Colorizing the image
Use [Color Balance] to apply colors to the grayscale image. Then, use [Replace Color] to finely
tune the colors in the highlighted areas, shaded areas, and pure black areas. The colors turn
flat and are different from those in the original photo. |

3.Creating contour lines between
bright and shaded areas
Use the [Trace Outline] filter to extract the contour lines between the highlighted and shaded
areas. Next, use [Minimum] to thicken the lines. Then, set [Blending Mode] and [Opacity ]to overlap
these lines appropriately on the image. |

4.Reducing, duplicating, and
colorizing the image
Resize the entire image to 1/4 size, make three copies of it, and tile the copies. You can use
a guide for placement. Then, use [Hue/Saturation] to change colors in each image. |

5.Colorizing the background
Create a new layer and move it to the bottom. Select 1/4 of the space of this layer at a time and
fill it with a different color. |
