I may later write a brief tutorial on how I do it. I usually start by erasing the background and then making different parts of the photo that I want to be distinct on different layers. Then I brush out irregularities and other things I don't want the filters to pick up. I use "hue/saturation" to desaturated a bit and shift the colors to something that is closer to the color scheme of the site. Then I adjust the levels and curves to make sure that the colors that the filter will pick up are good. The effect is achieved by using the poster edges and cutout filter in conjunction. The settings and order of these two filters is often dependent upon the photo and what I want to achieve. In the above picture the crowd has poster edges applied first then cutout with 4 levels and a 3 for simplicity I think. Then Emily only has poster-edges applied with a higher edge intensity.

What kind of effect is that? (I'm guessing you use photoshop...) hey Dan, this has nothing to do with the actual post, but I think that the pictures on this site are sweet, especially the one with today’s post.
