Download this free Photoshop action that creates a sketch effect with just one click. The ATN file contains four sketch actions: colored, unicolor, black and white, vintage. The action also comes with two patterns included so you have to install the PAT file before you play the action.

Simply open a new image/photo in Photoshop and play one of the actions that are labeled suggestively. Each sketch action has a different color effect that you can easily adjust. After the action is ended all the layer styles are left intact so all the settings can be adapted according to your photo brightness/contrast/color tone.

Very nice actions, I would like to use them but I'm getting some errors in Photoshop CC:
- Warning: No pixels were selected.
- The command ???Copy??? is not currently available.
- The command ???Paste??? is not currently available.

Any ideas? reply

The sketch action was not tested for Photoshop CC. The only solution would be to debug the action and to try to fix it manually.
Insert Stop after the step Set Selection of the action and make the selection yourself. Afterwards try to resume action play to see if it works. reply

If you encounter the message:
- Warning: No pixels were selected.
- The command ???Copy??? is not currently available.
- The command ???Paste??? is not currently available.
Then you have not installed the pattern first!
inside the action you will find an PAT file that contains two patterns; you have to load the PAT file in Photoshop before you play the action! reply

I'd love to use this action since I'm a psd dude fanatic, however, when I click on the download link, I get a different response than usual. A website opens up for "actions4photoshop" and I get a warning that it could be dangerous. With the other download links, it simply downloads the zip file. Why is this one different? reply

The sketch action was made exclusively for actions4photoshop.com website so you will have to download it from there. The action was created and tested by me so it is safe to download :) reply

Your PSD Action does not work. I read the instructions multiple times and with PSD CC 2017 it gets to the lasso stage and I'm not allowed to make a selection. I want my money back! reply
