This effect creates a sophisticated graphic look of line-work and shading similar to the style used in banknotes, postal stamps and etchings, and can be used to create stunning prints, posters or give the same feel to a collection of images. This technique can also be used to prepare your images for screen printing, letterpress or intaglio printing.

With this effect you can stylise images with a good tonal range, such as:

• photographs (well-lit portraits work great);


• found images,


• paintings,


• drawings,


• digital art with shading.

Everything in this class deals with non-destructive smart filters and adjustments, so once you have built the effect, you can easily apply it to any other images with just a little bit of tweaking!

• how to build wavy line engraving effect in Adobe Photoshop;
