Hi:

Does anyone know of a photoshop technique to transform a color or black & white into B & W line art, similar to the art (particular the head shots) in the Wall Street Journal?

Thanks in advance.

There are a couple plugins that will do something like that. One is called Cutline from Andromeda and the other is from Flaming Pear I believe. Check their sites; my memory is hazy.

There are filters, such as the (commercial) Andromeda Screens filter, to achieve results that are roughly similar to the images in the Wall Street Journal.

However, there are no techniques which will produce effects as good as what you see in the WSJ. You see, those images are not done by a computer at all; they are done by an artist, a fact that the WSJ prides itself on.

Tacit’s final comment is "right on" … and The WSJ is rightfully proud of their illustrations … and their illustrators.

A couple of additional plugins that do similar conversions, and may be interesting:
