Separating only the head made it recognizable, but everything else is still far too busy. For a good non-messy result one must separate all wanted items and delete the background. Separating the parts, deleting all non-essential ones, pixelizing and recombining is very time consuming when compared to more intelligent conversion methods. It also needed some minor tweaks with the 1 px pencil to remove a couple of bad spots. In the next version the head is converted separately and pasted back: There's no easy way to budget more colors for the face, which is the most important part in many cases.
#Turn image into pixel art full#
Doubling the amount of colors doesn't help because the whole image is full of subtle color differences. Low contrast in the face and the limited palette renders his face to ugly mess. This old-timer is pixelized to 16 colors. if a human separates different parts and converts them one by one. But converting a photo to pixel art can still succeed in Photoshop, GIMP etc. 1/3 Select Image Please drag & drop image Select from the library Photos sent to the server will be automatically deleted. The photos are generally much more complex and the separation between different features is often subtle. The new reds will appear everywhere and lose totally their impact.Īs said, the example does not resemble a photo. It's useless to add a couple of new reds for the lips to the indexing palette and to try to convert the original downscaled RGB version to indexed mode with the augmented palette. A real artist would be needed to make proper tweaks. Next, change the Width and Height values to something small, like 50 pixels. In the Image Size dialog box, make sure the Resample Image box is unchecked. In addition the image was already optimized with a math criteria and changing something breaks that balance, so it's not at all clear that my edits made it look better when seen by someone else. First, open up the image you want to convert into pixel art in Photoshop. It's difficult to stop, but one must stop if he's going to get the job done in a reasonable time. Now the lips catch more attention, you may want to take the pencil tool and remove also some dark spots: In the next image the lips are selected with non-antialiased zero feathering polygonal lasso and Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation, hue shift towards red (no saturation nor brightness adjustment) is applied: To add red and at the same time to keep the color palette limited return the image mode to RGB and tweak one or a few pixels manually. The lips are no more red due the small color palette. You can leave out the whole step 3 if it can have all RGB colors. The number of colors is set to 16 because old computers and games didn't have more at a time - having limited palette became characteristic to pixel art. Image > Mode > Indexed color > 16 colors, use adaptive palette and primary colors
Image > Image size > Resample to 120 x 160 pixels with Bicubic resampling Assuming you accept a more reasonable size than 64 x 64 it can be pixelized easily and without losing everything: It looks a well crafted vector drawing with well separated details. The example you linked to one of the comments is far away from a photo.
