Comics and comic book illustrations are very popular among artists that create these works from scratch using drawing techniques. Among these techniques are ink drawing, sketches and comics effects like halftone for example. But what if we are not professional artists and still want to obtain this comic book effect from one of our photos? That can be easily obtained in Photoshop using Photoshop actions.

My new comics action turns any image into a comic book illustration in just a few seconds. The ATN file includes 3 comics action versions: two color effect actions and one black and white effect action. The effect is obtained using Photoshop filters, black ink outlines, and color and contrast adjustment layers.
