When it comes to creating images with impact, few things are as effective as a well-placed pixel effect. Whether you’re looking to add some extra visual interest to an image or create a retro-style graphic, pixelating part of an image can be the perfect way to do it.
Fortunately, Photoshop makes it easy to pixelate any area of an image. Here’s how:
First, open the image you want to pixelate in Photoshop. Then, select the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” from the Tools palette. Use this tool to draw a selection around the area of the image you want to pixelate.
Once you have your selection made, go up to the “Filter” menu in the Menu Bar and choose “Pixelate” from the list of filter options. This will bring up the “Pixelate” dialog box.
In the “Pixelate” dialog box, enter a value between 10 and 50 for the “Size” option. The higher the value, the more pixels will be used in the effect and the more pronounced it will be.
Once you have your desired settings, click “OK” to apply the effect.
