[TheForge] Question...

[Demon Buddha]

As some of you may recall, I began work on a book on files and filing 
back in April.  I'm about 50 pages (8.5 x 11) into it at this point and 
am about to embark on the sections covering technique and exercises.  It 
is my intention that this work be copiously illustrated.  In addition, I 
want the illustrations to be a clear as possible.  To that end I plan to 
use drawings in favor of photographs because they contain far less noise.

My question is about Photoshop.  I have some recollection that 
photographs can be converted into a pencil-like drawing, much like the 
illustrations of George Dixon in the Hammer's Blow, back when.  Does 
anyone here know if that is in fact so, or have I had too much LSD with 
my morning coffee?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
