Photoshop Tutorial

In this tutorial we will learn how to create a vector image from a photograph.


1. Open a photograph of your subject in Photoshop.



2. Goto Layer > Duplicate Layer. Click OK.
3. Make sure the duplicate layer is active.
4. Goto Filter > Artistic > Cutout. Adjust the sliders until you get a nice clean cutout effect. In this tutorial, I chose: Number of Levels to 4, Edge Simplicity to 4, and Edge Fidelity to 2.


5. With duplicate layer active, apply "Overlay" blending mode.



6. You should now have a nice looking vector effect for your photo.
