Studio22 Organic Sculptures with Photoshop
1. Pick an image you find compelling for whatever reason (best if the image is high quality - large number of dpi, or at least large in size if a 72 dpi web image)
2. Next, convert the image to a grayscale image (in Photoshop go to Image menu, Mode, Grayscale)
3. The next major adjustment you will make is to "posterize" the image (in Photoshop go to Image menu, Adjustments, Posterize, in levels box type 3)
4. When the image generate in step 3 doesn't look just right to you (doesn't appeal to your aesthetic sense), you'll need to make some fine adjustments. These adjustment processes take the longest time since you want the "perfect" image.
What to do:
- Step backwards to the grayscale image generated in step 2 (In Photoshop go to the Edit menu, click Step Back until you get to the image desired)
- Then adjust the brightness and contrast of the image (In Photoshop go to the Enhance menu, Adjust Brightness/Contrast, make adjustments)
- And then repeat step 3
4a. Adjust the image by adjusting the gray tones (again starting with the image generated in Step 2, In Photoshop go to the Enhance menu, Adjust Color, Color Variations, make adjustments).
4b. You can also Posterize the image (Step 3) in more than 3 tones of gray and they use Replace Color (In Photoshop go to Enhance menu, Adjust Color, Replace Color) to reduce the number of gray tones by 'combining' adjacent grays yourself. Sometime this helps to reduce/increase unbalanced areas that might be problematic when carving.
5. Once you get the 3-tone gray image you want you'll want to size it for the organic material you will be carving.
