Hi All

I have just purchased PS, so a total novice.  A colleague who left our employement created this effect on a stock photo, and I need to replicate the effect for other photos.  Any assistance please on where to start and how I can achieve this look is appreciated.

Regards

Tricia

Try

or 

Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Posterize

I hate to say this, but the banding on apparel and face looks suspiciously like the artifcats one would see when a full color image is saved as a low res GIF.

      Try: Select > Subject – then add a Layer mask.

        What effect? The clipping? 

        Without seeing th eoriginal is seems hard to guess what exactly they may have done in additional editing.

          Hi

          Sorry don't have the original.  I think I can figure out the clipping.  The photo has a slight 'cartooning' or shadowing effect applied, not sure what else to call it. You can see it has been applied to these photos as well, its notable in the face and clothes.  Hope that helps.
