Step 2
If you're using a low resolution image, use the Image Size tool to increase the dimensions. We recommend at least 2000 pixels wide and tall for better clarity in the final result.
Tip: Ensure that the "Resample Image" checkbox is checked to allow scaling the actual pixel dimensions.

Convert Image into a Grid of Circles
Step 3
Add a Mosaic filter (Filter> Pixelate> Mosaic) with a cell size of 8 square.

Step 4
Apply a Find Edges filter (Filter> Stylize> Find Edges)
![Find Edges Filter Applied](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tj0JU6k9C0xHD9jo8WgnE_C3PsLGwND6SXUvGCapCn2AI5gyXVBYKhzRXJiky2xcnlJgKT4-L6kSRdfUEK4cQqKcJlzfF6zvgvnjPQSO7E-QZvWfjhJew3Zrx3pqhdT5rT1FuS1XH7Gm5RN6SzdXeE4_x5-MUPFYMEyWZxTN78NZIqZREogCz_Z1HmUQ=s0-d)
Step 5
To warp the edges into circles, we'll use the Median filter. Apply a Median filter (Filter> Noise> Median) with radius of 2 pixels.

Step 9
Deselect (Select> Deselect or Ctrl+D) and apply an Auto Levels (Image> Adjustments> Auto Levels or Shift+Ctrl+L)
![Auto Levels Applied](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_saFnqeMM0n_PV7wuB5p7DR8wl7mryxTJ5_BTGQGpdO137xyqXqvFHOALp47P999EmjYsFW5TPOMDynvS4ZdWwtwMJG6bhstw9FHS5oOwip7FHLVxqPNIp8Ae176Krct3NQNBlMBt9FnSm1zxSQO_Z9BSItzlzlsT5sxNy6Mp0OglPQ9Ptd_3Nll5IrJtWX=s0-d)
Step 10
Invert the current layer (Image> Adjustments> Invert or Ctrl+I)
![Inverted Image](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vhbhsVqzUwYn_hbw4-JNH3RKYdxCThafxTaNa8LcXq90G5ivbSHW-0fmviCwKrxxBwAFc1Ljavgk-HXxLsAPEvqfd-KEf66techfWdYRm2xsOep5iNkZiJTAaaMGRn6YEo-pPgwpOo0vk6hm0JY4IziAhxVEZJXfufAcx4azya5BuTe4N7N0KGtQ=s0-d)
Step 11
Duplicate the current layer (Layer> Duplicate Layer or Ctrl+J), change the blending mode of the new layer to Overlay, then Merge the layers (Layer> Merge Layers or Ctrl+E).
Create Outlines
Step 12
Duplicate the background current layer (Layer> Duplicate Layer) and change the blending mode of the new layer to Screen.

Colorize
Step 15
Add a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Hue/Saturation). For this step, I will use these settings:
Colorize: Checked
Hue: 100
Saturation: 100
Tip: This step is optional and may be skipped if you do not want to colorize the image.
