Here is my before image:
Here is the after image:
The steps involved include:
1. Adjust the levels of the image under Image>Adjustments>Levels. The person giving the tutorial said that the numbers they plugged into the menu were 60/1.00/220 but said you should adjust the image to your liking.
2. The next step is to add film grain. The goal is not to keep the image looking realistic, but give it an artistic quality that will add to the end result.
3. Duplicate your layer and name the new layer HALFTONE
4. To the HALFTONE layer, apply the halftone effect. Go to Filter>Pixelate>Halftone and set the max radius to 4. After you've closed that menu, in the Layers Palette, apply the Darken effect to the same layer.
5. Select the HALFTONE layer and set a STROKE LAYER STYLE of WIDTH: 20px, POSITION: InsideCOLOR: #F5ECE1.
The next couple steps include adding comic book-like text and captions to the photo, which I count as optional.
My image didn't turn out as well as the example did. I think if I would have zoomed in more it would have looked better. Certain images are going to work better for this tutorial than others.
The tutorial also shows you where you can download special comic book fonts, which I thought was nice!
