if you want to add a pencil sketch
0:02
effect to a photo in Cana then this
0:05
video is for you because I have two
0:07
options or two methods in confa that
0:09
allows you to create this effect to any
0:12
photo that you have so this is called
0:14
pencil effect and actually Kaa doesn't
0:17
have any native filter or feature that
0:20
allows it to do that but we can utilize
0:22
some apps available in Kaa to achieve
0:25
this effect so this is one example that
0:28
I created but of course there are two
0:29
many me and you will decide which one
0:32
that is going to look best for your
0:34
photo so the first method is we are
0:37
going to use an app or photo to sketch
0:40
so first you have to upload your photo
0:42
or you can use uh any photo from the
0:44
confa library I'm going to use this
0:47
photo and then let's go to apps and then
0:50
search for photo to sketch that is the
0:54
name of the app that we are going to use
0:56
for the first method this is the app
0:58
click on it and and click
1:01
open okay so we have this this tiny area
1:06
where we can adjust the setting for the
1:08
sketch effect so the filter strength is
1:11
somewhere between 1 to five by default
1:13
is three and usually three is kind of
1:16
good enough but I'm going to reduce it
1:18
to two and I'm going to enable
1:20
transparent background because this
1:22
photo has empty background because if
1:24
you do not enable the setting but you
1:25
have transparent or empty background
1:28
then uh this app will add some little
1:31
bit of color to the background which is
1:33
not what I want so make sure enable
1:35
transparent background when you're done
1:37
you can click transform and replace so
1:40
this tool or this app will doing will
1:42
start doing its work and it will start
1:45
converting this photo into a pencil
1:48
sketch photo which is going to look like
1:51
someone drawing draw the object so this
1:54
is the result by the way if you want if
1:56
you're not happy with the setting and
1:58
you want to adjust the setting further
1:59
then I do recommend to click undo first
2:03
don't don't immediately change the
2:05
setting and then transform it again you
2:07
have to undo so the photo will turn back
2:10
to the original version and then you can
2:12
start fine-tune the setting later so
2:15
that's one thing to keep it in mind
2:16
anyway I'm going to use the preview
2:19
setting and this is the photo that we
2:21
got so it's not quite a pencil sketch
2:24
because pencil usually doesn't have a
2:26
very contrasting black color so we want
2:28
to reduce the color uh the black color
2:30
of this photo bit click on it go to edit
2:34
and on the adjust uh section right here
2:38
I'm going to reduce the sorry reduce the
2:40
blacks but it's not going to be as bold
2:43
as is it used to and you want to
2:45
increase the white a little bit we can
2:46
play around with other settings but
2:48
usually the whites and blacks are good
2:51
enough to provate a pencil Edge effect
2:54
so that was for the first method the
2:56
second method is going to be a little
2:58
bit different and you probably going to
3:01
get a better result so let's move on
3:04
okay I'm going to use the same photo
3:06
again let's go to apps and this time
3:09
around we are going to use an app called
3:11
photo
3:15
fist
3:17
apologize yeah photo stylist that's the
3:20
name of the app click on it and click
3:24
open so the way it work is actually a
3:27
bit different we cannot just click on a
3:29
photo and then generate a SK it's not
3:33
possible we have to manually upload the
3:35
photo to this tool and we actually have
3:37
to decide what style that we are going
3:40
to copy so we have to decide we have to
3:42
pick a photo that we want to copy it
3:45
style and that being said we have to add
3:47
another page and I'm going to visit
3:49
elements first and I'm going to search
3:51
for pcil
3:54
sketch uh I just want to get some
3:56
inspiration about the style that I want
3:58
to copy
4:00
okay there are a lot of options but I
4:03
guess I'm going to
4:04
use maybe this one yeah this one looks
4:09
great and I'm going to set it as a
4:11
background
4:13
now I'm going to download this
4:17
photo just
4:22
photo click done and download
4:27
again okay we are not done yet we have
4:30
to download this photo as well so I have
4:33
to click share download and just the
4:37
page number three done and click
4:43
download okay now the photos has been
4:47
downloaded we can go back to photo style
4:50
list and we can upload our photo and our
4:53
style that we want to
4:55
copy all right I I have uploaded these
4:58
two photos this the photo that I want to
5:00
turn into a pencil sketch well this
5:02
photo is going to be the style that I
5:04
want to copy when you have upload these
5:06
two images you can click generate image
5:09
and this to will copy the style from the
5:12
sample photo and then we'll apply that
5:14
to your photo that you want to turn into
5:16
a pencil sketch
5:19
effect and there you go so this is the
5:22
effect that we just that we got this is
5:26
uh basically copying the style from the
5:29
pH that we just fit the tool to copy and
5:33
this is the result so yeah as you can
5:35
see you can still go to edit and adjust
5:38
some setting some coloring to make the
5:41
the F sketch look a bit more realistic
5:44
you can do that but that's basically it
5:47
so anyway uh that's basically two
5:49
methods you can try to create a pencil
5:51
sketch effect in confa
