Thanks to all of you for your help here. Not exactly my style of working but I have a client who would like me to put a few images like this for her together. You've been super helpful. Cheers - M

Hi all - I found an interesting (but horribly produced) YouTube video which shows how you can convert a photo into a pencil sketch - but with Photoshop. Because I was recently asked to do something very similar to what is shown in this video with Affinity Photo - but couldn't figure it out - I thought I try to emulate this with AP. Things are still not working for me. Find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MticYzYkofw This is the sequence written out - and I'll stop where things no longer work for me: Duplicate image Reduce saturation entirely, which converts the image into black/white (grey scale) Invert the image Set the blend mode to colour dodge (turns the image white) Apply Gaussian Blur (at 1.25 in the video) At this point the video shows that the image reappears. It doesn't for me. Can anyone tell me what I could do to make it so? Much appreciated - Raymond
