Step 1: Open up a stock image in Photoshop of any size and/or format. The best results for this tutorial usually involve images with a high resolution and lots of bright colors. Once you have done this, select Layer > Duplicate Layer from the main menu to create a duplicate layer on top of your base photograph.
Step 2: Using your mouse, select the top/duplicated layer in the layers palette and set the blending mode to Overlay.
Step 3: With the top layer still active, load up the cutout filter via Filter > Artistic > Cutout, and enter in the settings on the left. When finished, press OK.
Step 4: Select the bottom/background layer using the layers palette, and run Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. You can vary this value to taste if needed. Press OK when you are finished.
