Cell-shade your pictures

Open up a picture you want to cell-shade;

First select all the parts that have the similar color (I used Black first);

You must use the "Polygonal Lasso-Tool for this all;

When you select one color, make a new layer and just fill it with that color; (You can use the eyedropper for the color)

When you're done, you should have A LOT of layers with all different colors;
