Photoshop edited image with coloured pencil filter


In Photoshop Elements 8,I edited this image that I took a couple of months ago of a person standing to the right of a sidewalk. Not only does this to the right placing make the image seem more balanced, but this also makes it look more visually appealing, and I also think that it adds depth to the image as well.

 I used the quick selection tool, selected a majority of the sidewalk and the person, and then used the coloured pencil filter to give the selected areas that "rough, sketchy look". I then used a high contrast filter afterwards to give the person that "illuminated, glowy" look. By doing this it makes the image seem balanced, makes it feel to have a very unique element that doesn't clash, but instead blend with the piece, and makes it seem to be more professional and creative as well too.

 I feel that the image turned out well, and I enjoyed creating it on my laptop. Try using different filters and programs with old images that you have on your computer, who knows, maybe you'll end up making a masterpiece! Hope you enjoyed this image, and I hope you have a happy day!
