Turn any photo into a dot grid artwork with these Photoshop actions. You'll get great results with dots that change size. They get larger in brighter areas and smaller in darker areas. Free download available.

Choose Black & White. If you don't have Black & White or if you're using Photoshop CS2 or older, select Hue/Saturation instead.

The Black and White tool will appear. Simply click OK with the default settings. If you are using Photoshop CS2 or older and added a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer instead, simply reduce the saturation to -100 and click OK.

Step 3: Blend the layer
Now that we have the adjustment layer, we'll need to make it blend into the image to restore the color. For this, we can simply change the blending mode to Overlay. In the Layers palette, click on the drop down menu and select Overlay.

Now your image should have a nice harsh lighting effect.

Good Tutorial if a little dull. Try using people other then White People. I used it on a picture of an old Chinese man it it was Awesome,.
I thought it was a good tutorial. If you do it with a serious looking picture of Morgan Freeman it is like badass.
This is actually what I was searching and it is awesome.
I think this whole thing is retarded

This was a good tutorial, but to make it look more natural, I increased the hardness of my eraser to about 20-30% and erased the entire picture. But it was an overall good tutorial.
very good
good thought! but the effect would be too strong, u should adjust some setting to make it looks nature
Natural not nature
