It`s best if you use an image with a lot of different colors. I`ll be using this image as an example : Open up Adobe Photoshop. Open your image. Select All ( CTRL + A or Edit >> Select All ), Copy ( CTRL + C or Edit >> Copy ). Deselect ( Right Click >> Deselect ) Go to Filter >> Mosaic This window will pop up: Choose a number for the cell size. The greater the number, the bigger the squares. I recommend medium-sized ones (around 20-40). Click OK when you`re done. Now paste ( CTRL + V or Edit >> Paste ) Go to your layers palette. Select the second layer (the non-pixelized one) and click on Opacity on the Layers Palette. Now change the Opacity of the second layer. I recommend 50. Then flatten your image ( Layers >> Flatten Image ) Here`s how it`ll look like : Add on whatever you want, and your done :] All you need to do is add onto it. Here`s my finished product: It`s so pretty! Tutorial Copyrighted by Maggie.
