Digital Star Effect Photoshop Tutorial
Creating the Dots - Part One
First, we'll transform a photo into a series of circles. This is done by combining several filters.
Step 1
Open an image to edit.
Step 2
Duplicate the layer (Layer> Duplicate Layer or Ctrl+J).
Step 3
Select the new layer and apply a Mosaic filter (Filter> Pixelate> Mosaic) with a Cell Size of 8 square.
Step 4
Apply a Find Edges filter (Filter> Stylize> Find Edges).
Step 5
Apply a Median filter (Filter> Noise> Median) with a Radius of 2 pixels.
Step 6
To reduce the size of the dots, we'll use the Maximum filter (Filter> Other> Maximum) to enlarge the white areas. Use a Radius of 1 pixel.
