Tool to convert a photo into a b/w drawing? - stoppingdown - 06-18-2016

Hello.

 

I need to convert a few photos of mine into something that looks like a b/w, indian ink drawing (note: b/w, not grayscale); e.g. like that:

I have Lightroom and Photoshop; a plugin, a sequence of steps, or also a (not expensive) dedicated application (for Mac OS X) would be ok. It's just a handful of photos, so I don't need batch processing.

 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks.

You could try Topaz Impression - http://www.topazlabs.com/impression

or Topaz Simplify - http://www.topazlabs.com/simplify

Their free trial versions are unrestricted, so you can play to your heart's content.

 

HTH, kind regards, Wim

In Photoshop CC you can try:

Filter -> Filter gallery -> Sketch -> Stamp.
