5
We click "Find Edges"
.
The layer will change quite dramatically. This probably wasn't the best example photo to use. If we have an image that we want to break down into a line drawing, then "Find Edges" is a quick way of doing that if we already made the contrast quite high.

6
We zoom in

The layer has lost a lot of detail. Though, if we are using the filter, we probably want just the outline anyway. It is a good step if we are trying to take a photograph to use as an illustration. Possibly, in Adobe Illustrator.
