This tutorial is for making larger engraved images that are too large to make brushes with. You can use either black and white images or color images. For this tutorial I will be using a B/W image. You will also need a fill pattern. I have used a green marble. You can save these images to your hard drive to use for this tutorial. HAVE FUN!!!!
STEP 1
Open the plume.gif or the image of your choice.
Make a duplicate image by going to WINDOW / DUPLICATE. Close the original plume.gif. Increase color to 16 million.
Also open the green marble.gif. Select one of the darker colors from the marble as your foreground color.STEP 2
Now with the plume.gif as your current image; make a DUPLICATE LAYER and DELETE the BACKGROUND LAYER.
Go to MASK / NEW / FROM IMAGE with the following settings.You also want to make sure VIEW MASK is checked.

DELETE MASK, click YES when asked whether you want to merge the mask into the current layer. You will be left with a black image on a transparent background if you used a B/W image.
