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:

India Ink by Flaming Pear

Andromeda's Cutline filter
