Creating the Upload Photo layer with Portrait Sketch effect

This feature only works with portraits of people or pets and will not work with scenery images.

Go to Artwork editor > edit an image layer
In Personalization Options, choose Upload photo. You can read more about that feature here.
Under the Image effects section, select Portrait Sketch option:

This feature already includes background removal, so you don’t need to use it together with another background removal effect.

The following list explains what each of these settings does:

Contour: gives a bold outline around your subject, like a bold edge that makes the person or pet stand out in the uploaded image.

Light sketch: Choose whether the uploaded photo will have a light or heavy sketch effect.

Once you're happy with your settings, be sure to launch it to your Storefront!
