3. Under Filter menu - choose Sketch category – choose Note Paper and click. When the Note Paper dialog box appear, adjust the setting: Image balance 23, Graininess 0, Relief 0.

4. If there are lines or areas that are light, use burn tool to darken it. I draw some of the missing lines in the image using a brush tool.
