Choose either image, right click, save image as, save image to your desktop Open Photoshop File, browse in bridge, desktop, click on your image and your image should now be in photoshop ||  || Choose Layer > Duplicate to duplicate the layer. We'll keep the original Background layer untouched. It's important to keep a copy of the original image in its own layer so that whenever you need to access that image, you'll have a copy of it.  || ===Step 3 === To create the outlines, choose Filter > Stylize > Find Edges. Your image should have an effect like the image shown below.  ||  || Now choose Filter > Other > Minimum. This filter is used to thicken the dark lines.  || ===Step 5 === FILTER > Cutout. To add an artistic effect, we'll use the cutout filter which applies a vector-like effect to the image. In this case, we'll use the cutout filter to add some randomness to the edges so that they don't look like a bunch of squares.  ||  || Now we'll add a subtle __#|lighting__ effect to the image to make it look more dynamic. Select the Background layer then press Ctrl+J to duplicate it. Move the new layer that you just duplicate to the top.  || <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #515756; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Step 6 continued....** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #515756; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Then, select the new layer and change the blending mode to Overlay. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #515756; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> ||  || || ===<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #515756; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Step 7 === <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #515756; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Choose Filter > Artistic > Palette Knife.
