Help identifying a PS filter used.

[therealgingernob]

Whilst I realise how ridiculous this sounds, I recently edited a NEF file from LR Classic , in PS and unfortunately i can't remember what filter i used to get the finished TIFF file.

I'm attaching the original NEF and the subsequently edited TIFF file (both saved as a jpg), as they were too large. I'm hoping someone may recognise how i achieved the final image.

I did ask Victoria Bampton (My first go-to gal for LR), who made a few good suggestions. I have tried them and still cant identify how to reproduce the output.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Filters > Filter Gallery > Glowing Edges

Looks like you can get the same look like this:

First go to Image>Adjustments>Grayscale then Filter>Gallery>Stylize>Glowing Edges and adjust sliders.

tried the 2 suggestions so far and yes the glowing edges option is getting me very similar results. it was one of the original suggestions by victoria bampton but assume i needed to tailor the sliders more. im leaving the question open for a while to see if anyone has more suggestions.

thank you so far.

I realize it’s too late for this time, but next time, make a Smart Object before you add any filters. Then you’ll be able to see exactly what you did and even edit the filter later.

You’re welcome, and I’m sorry it won’t help catch this horse!

Try Filter>Filter Gallery>Sketch>Photocopy, then Image>Adjustments>Invert

1st, thank you for all contributions.

Lessons learnt: jane-e correctly pointing out the value of smart objects (thanks), and daniel & jeff for their answers. I would like to mark them both right but just found not possible but both are very close in their own ways..

Thanks again, David
