Photoshop Tutorial: Converting a photo to a "drawing"

In Photoshop CS (and 7, I think):
1. Sharpen the edges.

2. Filter/filter gallery/stylize/glowing edges

3. Mess around as you see fit. It's all a matter of taste. I generally set my levels at 4 or 5, my edges usually at 4, and my fidelity varies. It's usually different for each image.

4. Image/adjustments/invert

5. Play with levels/contrast/color as you see fit.

6. Filter/filter gallery/artistic/cutout.

7. Again, what you do with this is all a matter of taste. You're done. :)
