Using Quick mask.

The quick mask tool is good for when your editing your photos because it gives you better control over the areas you have selected.
To make a selection using the quick mask, press the Q key or select the quick mask icon on to tool bar.
You can preview and edit a selection in quick mask, the selection is a transparent pink colour. This helps you to see what parts you have selected and what you still need to select or even unselect.
The area which has been selected will not be effected as it has been marked, but you can edit this area by inverting your selection, this will mask off everything outside the orginal selection.

Line drawing

Step one: Open photo in photoshop. double click on the background layer to make it a normal layer. Then duplicate layer twice so you have 3 layers all the same.

Step 2:Select the top layer and change the blendind mode of the layer to 'colour dodge' from layer styles drop down list. then go to image then adjustments and invert, which the photo will white out at this point.

Step 3: then go the filter > blur > Gauusain Blue. The amount of blue you use depends of the picture and resolution. i used 3.8 for mine.

Step 4: now take the hue/adjustment layer and desaturate the image, take the atuation bar to -100. This removes all the colour infomation.

Step 5: now you have my line drawing.

Next step: 1. Print off your line drawing and paint or colour the picture

2. scan the picture on a flatbed scanner at 300dpi.

Digital formats... JPEG,TIFF,RAW,DNG,PSD.

JPEG files are small, good quality and compatible with pretty much every peice of hardware and software in the world. JPEG files are compressed to make them easier to store or to be transferred, by this compressing the file you will lose quality depending on the level of compression.
JPEG - positives
            compressed to small files, less room, quick to copy and open on any computer
            negatives
            lossing format, lose quality

                   
TIFF files are larger than JPEGs because of this the files are a higher quality. TIFF files can also be saved with layers which can be created on photoshop and saved, so when you re-opened that file all the layers will still separate and you will be able to carry on and edit them.


BMP files are generally uncompressed and retain all the image information of the original copy, but this file   cannot save layers..


PNG files were created for internet display, Like TIFF files they compression the file but not much so the file size will still be large, and like GIF files which PNG was created to replace can store animation information.


RAW files are used when taking an actual photo, and as the name says it saves the raw image you have just shot so during editing you can do anything to it for example: blown out highlights or dark areas can be retained as the data in those parts have been saved with some detail even though they are not visible at first. RAW files are much bigger than jpeg, you have to use special software for opening and editing RAW files, such as photoshop.
