Hi there,
I am looking for clarification / explanation on the below effects. Desperately trying to improve my profiecincy and am struggling to find advanced / detailed tutorials. Any insight is very much appreciated, and extremely helpful. Thanks so much!
1. I beleive this is the result of the Bitmap effect, however, I have attempted this to no avail. I cannot seem to achieve the dotted background pattern / overall level of distortion.
2. The central image I believe is layered gradient maps / images — however, how is the background texture achieved? Additionally — how can I achieve the distortion / grain that appears on the central image?
3. How to replicate 'line' texture on letters?
4. Threshold? How can I apply colour to a threshold filter?
5. Soldier image — is this achieved via Gradient map?

4) Threshold is an Adjustment, it can be applied as a Smart Filter, but I would generally prefer to use it as an Adjustment Layer.
And one can simply add a Solid Color Layer set to Blend Mode »Multiply« over a mocochrome image.
1) As mentioned above a Hard Mix Pattern Layer (based on Add Noise of a 50% gray background) could be used.

3) For the line structure in the text a combination of Pattern Layers could be used.
