How to create outlines from a single photo? I mean quite intricate outlines, but very accurate ones. Can anyone help me?
Thanks |

hi,
been working on a similar project involving people, having no real luck on that so far... and still working on that ...lol... HOWEVER..
one of the techniques that m ight work on a simple image like that...
1. go to your filters and choose glowing edges ...!
2. adjust the sliders to suite, especially the thickness .
3. click ok
4. now it had a black background,, yo can either change color what i did was remove the black (a transparent background) .... and i had to use magic wand 70% tolerance to get rid of the black and some dark articfacts .... and that left me with a sort of multi color outline ...
5. then I did a simple levels ajust .... to change the color outline to a nice black outline ....
for the image you gave i thought the above procedures worked quite well ..
I hope it what you wanted..

Moondog, Its like that, except all large solid colour blocks have been removed to leave a fine outline.
Jerry, I have tried that, but, it doesn't work very well on the images, I was hoping someone had a better method of doing it. |

hhi,
that didn't work .. curious what was wrong with it.. the lines too thick...???
now another meathod been playing with since my last post.... been playing with severall...lol. this last able make the lines a lot thinner
1. i converted the bottle cap image to gray scale.... i did this because i had problems maintian selections in color and in greyscale i keep all the selections ....
2. create duplicate
3. then use the magic wand at high tolerace and delete area one at a time.... now what i found... was that all the past selection will stay there.... and when finish all the previous selection actually make the outline....
4. then i went to the edit>stoke and setup a small thickness and click ok... made a nice outline and i didn't have worry about any artifiacts ..
see if that works for you...
the only other meathod i used was to use the find edges... but had a lot of issues with artifacts.... on that
