thanks for the path to Find Edges.!.. when I bring up the filters drop
down there is a tediously long laundry list of choices - seems to me in
version 5.o FInd edges was closer to the surface... sadly, find edges
doesn't work the way I remember it working in earlier ELements version...
whenevery I futz around with photos for fun or profit to get designs I
often lose track of what I've done... I'm less careless with my calendar
covers and such
anyway...
here is a link to the file that shows the coloring book pages I sold
https://annsan.smugmug.com/Misceandvids/ITEMS-for-SALE/i-zNLV6LF/X3..
I thought you had used something other than find edges... but your
filter is the same as what I used in a couple of these, you can see.
starting top left , going across and then down , numbers 5, 8-10 are the
ones that went from a photo to what every you call what i have here...
Numbers 1 and 2 were already highly worked on graphics taht started as
photos.. but 3,4,6,7 started out as an BW ink abstract drawing I did
about 40 years ago...
Here is something I did think was successful using that tool on a very
over exposed photo of dogwood... it is a bit cutsy pie for me, but might
make
nice fabric so I think I'll take it off cafe press and put it on
spoonflower for fabric or wrapping paper...

numbers 3,4,6,7 started as this

doing this is alternately fun and frustrating... sometimes soothign when
it goes right, but I can't do it mechanically or it is just torture

Ann,
In PS, it's under Filters / Stylize / Find Edges.
Re: texture
It depends on the photo. If the objects of interest are reasonably
uniformly exposed, and if there is a reasonable contrast (I've working
with B&W renditions) between the object(S) and the surrounding, you
can use Layer -> Adjustment Layer -> Threshold,
combined with Levels.
Essentially, you make the picture "binary", separating black and
white, eliminating all grey in between. (Effectively, you collapse all
grey one way or the other.)
If you still have some speckles, you can clean them up by, e.g.
choosing the black areas using the "magic wand" tool, and then
Select-> Inverse [selection].
Once all "white" and "grey" areas have been chosen, you can either
"fill" them with a white color, erase, cut, or whatever...
.. and then use a white background/layer to re-create the continuous
white.
I've done something along those lines once or twice before.
In this photo:
http://42graphy.komkon.org/swing/ch-2008/1-selected/IMGP4530_1.html
I believe, I also added "invert" under "Adjustment Layer".
I briefly saw how this feature showed up in color when I was working
on the photo I posted a day ago, but I didn't like what I saw.
Actually, the inspiration for this manipulation comes from when I am
doing sharpening in LR. When I choose the mask for sharpening (Alt +
moving the slider), LR shows a very similar view, - essentially the
edges that get sharpened.

I used the feature you used in photoshop to try to make some coloring
book pages -- actually sold one little set.. but it isn't a money
maker.. The thing is it really needs to be clear lines for coloring
books... I couldn't figure out a way to combine the feature you used
with anything else to get rid of the texture..
this technique has a name that I've forgotten so I've lost where it is
in Elements 10.... :-(
did you consider applying it but keeping the color?
