Special effects

Adobe Photoshop includes a wonderful set of tools and commands to create the most stunning special effects on an image. The possibility of creating special effects is perhaps one of the most appealing features of Adobe Photoshop. Some of these effects are: 3d simulation, scanlines, lightning and lighting effects, explosions, fire, complex signatures, terrains, clouds, glass, and many others.
Photoshop has also support for pressure sensitive graphics tablets The use of these tablets can improve the effects of the paint brush, eraser, or other tools. Tablets are used worldwide by professional comic book illustrators, architects, studio artists, etc.

Creating Mosaic effect

Creating Mosaic effect

In this tutorial I have explained two methods of creating Mosaic effect in Adobe Photoshop without using mosaic and pixalate filter. First method works out for the images where you need to take care of minute details of the image like eyes, nails of a finger, hair (I hope you got the idea). But for the image for which broad strokes of Mosaic effect are enough the steps involved to achieve that effect is almost totally different which I call as second method.
