Photoshop: Pop Art #2

We will be continuing our exploration of Pop Art today with a 2nd project.  We'll be using the same techniques, but doing it in a different way.

1. Begin with a picture of a person (a woman's face works well)
2. Go to IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > THRESHOLD
1. Set your threshold and click "OK"
3. Soften the edges with a FILTER > BLUR > GAUSSIAN BLUR
4. IMAGE > MODE > GRAYSCALE
5. IMAGE > MODE > BITMAP
1. Halftone
2. Frequency: Down to about 20 for larger dots
6. IMAGE > MODE > GRAYSCALE
7. IMAGE > MODE > RGB COLOR
8. Duplicate the graphic layer (Or select all, copy and paste)
9. Insert a blank layer between the graphic layers
10. Fill the blank layer with a bright color (i.e. bright red)
11. Select the top graphic layer
12. Go to SELECT > COLOR RANGE and choose the white color with a "fuzzy" selection area
13. Press DELETE (which should reveal the color underneath)
14. Click the bright color layer, do a CTRL+A (Select All) and delete.  This will reveal a white background
15. Use some colors and a paintbrush with hard edges to paint features (i.e. lipstick or eye color)
16. You can mute the colors a bit with the Opacity tool
