An abstract effect that adds bordered squares over the highlights of an image.
image 1 1. Open the image for editing.
image 2 2. Duplicate the current layer (Ctrl+J) and change the blending mode of the new layer to Overlay.
image 3 3. On the new layer, add a Mosaic filter (FIlter> Pixelate> Mosaic). For this step, I've used a celll size of 12 square. Use a larger value for larger images.
image 4 4. Add a Maximum filter (Filter> Other> Maximum) with the same value as the one you've used in the previous step.
image 5 5. Duplicate the current layer (Ctrl+J) and change the blending mode of the new layer to Multiply.
image 6 6. Apply a Find Edges filter (Filter> Stylize> Find Edges).
image 7 7. Use the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image> Adjustment> Brightness/Contrast) to increase the contrast to 90. Increase the brightness to reduce the number of outlines on the image.
Digital Glow Tutorial: Final Result 8. Rollover the image in this step to see the original image before this technique was applied.
