At home I have a collection of old books that I never read. I have them because their pages are illustrations made in engraving style, which I like very much. There is in these images is something incredible. Intersection plexus spillover from the thin lines in the dense ... This is a very distinctive and unique style with a vintage twist.

In this lesson you will be shown a simple way to emulate this style:

Step 01
For a start, before working with the photograph, you need to prepare like a hatch. That is repeated along a particular direction of the line, which is most easily done in Illustrator-e (a strong desire in Photoshop). For our venture we make wavy lines. In Illustrator, create a document with the size of a pen and draw a wavy line on the similarity to the one shown below (thickness [B] 1 pixel). In my line of 4-D nodal points:

Now duplicate this line (a copy can also be a little change) and slide down. Select both lines and rotate them as shown in the screenshot:

Next, go to Object-Blend-Blend Options, select Specified Steps option out there and set the value to 150. Then run the Object-Blend-Make and receive a series of evenly spaced lines that we use:

Step 02
Launch Photoshop and also create a document with the dimensions of 1000 1000rh. Copy prepared in Illustrator lines and paste them into Photoshop, with it you will ask in what form you want to transfer the copied information - select option in pixels. Before pressing Enter, move the pasted lines so that they cover the entire working a canvas:

The process of copying the lines in Illustrator and then moving into Photoshop to repeat another 5-five times, but each time in Illustrator, to increase the thickness of the lines / stroke (set in a palette of Stroke). I used the following values: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Layers with a thick lines should be over their thinner counterparts. In the fourth layer of the workpiece rotate 90 ° clockwise to get the vertical direction of the lines of:

ps: when you insert lines into Photoshop, you can select Path, and then make a stroke with the desired thickness of pixels in Photoshop and already these ways and to create a thicker strokes - ie, by and large, the transfer lines can be used only once.


Step 03
Turn off all the layers with the lines, and the bottom with the photos(http://www.flickr.com/photos/41109263@N00/3804697464/). Taking advantage of the levels, I raised a little image contrast:

Immediately above the image, add Threshold adjustment layer and set it to a value of 200:

Then select all the resulting black area. Call the box Select-Color Range and from the drop-down list, select Shadows (since this allocation will have to do more than once, and you may then want to experiment with some different characteristics, I suggest immediately record for this action shooter and hang it on a hot key):

Once you create a selection, go to the first layer with the thin lines and add a mask to it:

Ok, again, temporarily disable this layer visibility. Now you need to repeat the previous steps for the other layers with lines. Go to the Threshold adjustment layer and reduce its value to 160, load the selection and create a mask of the next layer. Further lower the threshold again, and so forth (to this image we used the following values: 200, 160, 120, 100, 80, 60).

Once you can do it with the other layers, you should get something similar to the below screenshot. Sure, you can make additional changes:




Completion of 04
In principle, the basic idea has already been implemented, but you can do something else. For example, I copied at the end of the fourth layer with vertical lines of medium thickness, removed the mask and invert it white - it's a little broke the line and made them broken. Then I lowered the layer just below:

Finally, to give the image of a page or ripped from an old newspaper, I decided to put under the photo texture of old paper (I used this set fee, but the Internet is full of suitable alternatives). And with the help of the adjustment layer I changed the color illustrations from black to brown.

That's all) Do not forget your imagination and the possibility of additional effects on the mask in the right places. Try this technique on different photographs zagotavlivaya different direction lines (+ distance between them) and select the appropriate values ​​for the same adjustment layer Threshold.

Thank you for your attention, good luck to you, experiment and have fun!
