In this time of Pandemic, I want to be able to give granchildren something to do.  I read or saw somewhere that in Elements, one can turn photos into like a coloring book photo, if that makes sense.  So the children can take crayons an color them.

 

Any heard of anything like this.

What version of Elements do you have?  Probably the easiest way to do this is to use the Pencil Effect which can be found under Quick Edit mode in the Effects panel.

 

To make the lines darker, you may have to increase the contrast, using a Levels adjustment layer.

Also, look at the Guided Edit>Black and White>Line Drawing which does the same thing.
