Retro Styled Photographs





1) I used a picture I got from Skateboarding.com. It's Kenny Reed doing a backside flip. Anyways, feel free to use anytype of image, or you can use the one I used below:


2) Now apply Filter>Artistic>Cut Out and use these settings:



3) Apply Filter>Stylize>Diffuse and use these settings(this will smoothen out our retro picture):
