This tutorial covers how you can achieve a grungy pixel effect with your images similar to the image shown below and as in my skins: [url=http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10306&hl=]That Girl is Poison[/url] and [url=http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=30249&hl=]Kill Our Kittens Plz[/url].
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) We're going to use the following image of the beautiful Alicia Keys for this tutorial. Go ahead and open it up in Photoshop.
2) Select the entire image and copy it (CTRL + A then CTRL + C). We'll need this copied image later. Then set the color mode to Indexed Color: Image >> Mode >> Indexed Color.
3) Copy the settings I have below and click OK.
4) Now set the color mode back to RGB Mode: Image >> Mode >> RGB Color.
5) Now we're going to paste the original image we had copied earlier into a new layer (CTRL + V). Select the top layer in your Layers Palette and set the blending mode to Overlay using the drop down menu.
6) Select the bottom layer and set the opacity to any value you wish until you achieve your desired results. In this example, I set it to 20%.
7) Your final result should look somewhat like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course you can go much further than this using other Photoshop techniques. Be creative and have fun.
NOTE: If you'd like to learn how to achieve the torn border effect as seen in the image above, view my tutorial: [url=http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48097]Torn Border[/url].
