Silhouette : How To

If you have noticed the picture in my profile its a silhouette for another picture i took. I created the silhouette using Adobe Photoshop (thanx to 'Chris Carter' this is an abridged version of his 15 step tutorial...actually the first 3 steps)

(In 'Adobe Photoshop CS2')

-Open an image
Adobe Photoshop -> File -> Open... (Select the Image and click 'ok')



-Adjust Image
Image -> Adjustments -> Threshold..



Choose a value that suits your need best (i used '100' instead of default '128' for this pic)

Isn't it easy !! Finally, a small improvement...

-Filter Image (smooth)
Fiter -> Stylize -> Diffuse.. -> Select 'Anisotropic'



To play around more and use different colours for silhouette (rather than black) Click Here
