So if you read my last article, you saw my walk-through for a unique effect.  Want to see what it looks like up close?  The above photos is the final results.  Remember … it’s a little grungy, a little colorized with plenty of saturation.

The above series shows you a 100% crops of the original photos taken through all the steps.  If you do not want the final results to be so grunge, you can alter the settings in Step #1.  You can even substitute another Topaz Effect like one in B&W Effects to reduce the the photo to a sharp B&W drawing.

Even if you do not like the final result, it helps you think about how multiple steps can be combined to create a completely new results.
