I have some old directions for changing a photo into a sketch but because I haven’t used PS a lot, recently, I have forgotten how to get the Colour Dodge to turn the duplicated photo white. Which tool do I use? How do I accomplish this step? Any help? Thanks so much.

Gratefully…

(Old instructions: Open up your Image, and Desaturate it (seems to work better than setting
mode to greyscale)
Duplicate the layer, then invert the new layer. Set its blend more to Colour Dodge (should go all white)
Then use the Gaussian Blur filter and adjust it to suite.)

On the layers palette change the blend MODE to Color Dodge Is this the missing link?

Next step is to ‘Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur’ and adjust settings to your preference.
