Transform a regular photo into a high-tech artwork made up of blocks and connectors resembling a circuit board.

 


Creating the Blocks

First, we'll create convert the image to blocks using a combination of Photoshop filters.

Step 1

Open a photo you would like to edit. We recommend using a high resolution image of at least 1000x1000 pixels. It is also fine to upscale a low resolution image before using this effect.

Step 2

Duplicate the layer (Layer> Duplicate Layer or Ctrl+J).

Step 3

Activate the top layer and apply a Mosaic filter (Filter> Pixelate> Mosaic) with a cell size of 16 square.

Step 4

Apply a Find Edges filter (Filter> Stylize> Find Edges).

Step 5

Apply a Median filter (Filter> Noise> Median) with a radius of 2 pixels.

Step 6

Apply a Minimum filter (Filter> Other> Minimum) with a radius by 4 pixels.

Step 7

Finally, invert the current layer (Image> Adjustments> Invert or Ctrl+I).
