I found a tutorial for creating coloring pages from photos. This is a great idea. It can also be great as gifts from the kids for other family members. Plus, this is a good way to save money on all those coloring books!

I opened the picture I wanted to use and created a new layer. Then I used the photocopy filter and adjusted the settings for detail and darkness until I was satisfied. Then I created a new adjustment layer and changed the shadow and highlight levels. I was tempted to use the lasso tool to cut the background out of the picture, because I think this would make a better coloring page if it was just the car alone, but that would involve more work and I was just trying this out. Read the tutorial for detailed steps.

I chose to use my last project as the picture for this coloring page. Click the preview on the right to view the full image.
