    Thank you so much for your video! I've been scratching my brain for the past couple of days trying to figure out how to make glowing lines in either photoshop or lightroom and you finally gave me the answer I was looking for. I honestly didn't know how to frame my question in google to search for it and every place searched I came up empty handed. The video was very informative and again thanks for helping find the solution to my problem!

    Thank you for this! I'll be doing this after my exams and assignments to make a template for a watercolor piece I will be doing! Will want this sketch effect for transferring pencil markings (which will be put on the back of the printed photoshop file) so I can have an accurate proportion transfer of an image I made digitally!

    Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! One of the most clear and informative tutorial I have seen! I really like the effect upon till applying the blur effect. I really like how it looks like the image becomes painted in sections by gouache. I wonder if there is a way to get the same look but giving us an option using limited colors. Right now I have so many sections with different colors and I wish it can be more simplified. Let me know what your suggestion would be! Thanks a lot!!

    Jennifer if you have Illustrator, you can use the Trace mode to choose a 3 or 6-color limited palette. You can also experiment with a High Quality Photo (as one of the modes for the conversion to a vector image), and vary the number of curves and fills in order to limit the color scheme. You could also use Select Color Range to choose two or more colors and then replace them with a preferred color. And you can also use Posterize, then set the number of colors you want (but I've never seen a posterized image of one of my photos turn out well, so I use the other options).
