Step 13

First we'll add a blur with the Gaussian Blur filter. Go to Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur. Set the Radius to 8 pixels and then click OK.

Step 14

Now change the layer blending mode to Overlay in the Layers pallet. Once you do that, you'll immediately see the effect of this layer. It adds more contrast to the image making the depth look greater. And don't worry, that's all there is to this tutorial. You can experiment by adding more effect but that's totally up to you. We have the basics already but you can add new layers with different effects if you want. There's an unlimited number of effects you can apply so we'll leave that for you to play around with.

Step 15

Here's the final result. We've pixelated the image, but it looks like a cool digital artwork rather than just the blocky effect nobody uses because it doesn't look artistic. Below the image below is a Zoomify application where you can zoom in and view the details of the full resolution image I worked on.
