Andy Warhol was an American artist, director and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. About the PS effect tutorial There maybe several tutorials on how to create an “Andy Warhol” effect on the internet. This tutorial is my version on how to achieve that Photoshop effect. Step by step Procedure Open image in Photoshop Using the Magnetic Lasso tool, create selection of your image. Then Press Ctrl + C to copy selection. Create a new Canvass and paste the copied selection Click Image > Adjustments > Desaturate Click Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast Brightness: +32; Contrast: +35; Click Filter > Artistic > Cutout Number of Levels: 8; Edge Simplicity: 2; Edge Fidelity: 2; Click Image > Adjustments > Levels Input Levels: 78; 1.00; 216; Click Filter > Artistic > Cutout Number of Levels: 8; Edge Simplicity: 4; Edge Fidelity: 2; Change the Background Color using the Paint Bucket tool. Create a New layer above the Image layer. From the top most layer, hold Ctrl from your keyboard then Click on the thumbnail of the image layer to Load Selection. Color the selection from the top most layer using the Paint Bucket tool. Change the layer mode of the top most layer to “Screen” or “Multiply”. Choose which ever results to a better quality. Click File > Save As.. then save the file as 001.jpg. Then you’re done with one. Repeat the steps but this time use different colors. Then save image as 002.jpg, 003.jpg, and 004.jpg for the next remaining images Create a new canvass twice as long and twice as wide with our saved images. Open the saved images and drag it to our new canvass and arrange the images like so and you’re done.
