Turn a Photo Into a Comic

For this picture, I started with my current Facebook profile picture that was taken from the shoot for our nerf gun video a while back. I imported it into Photoshop and added the color halftone filter, then set the maximum radius at 4 pixels. It was looking a little bit dark so I added a sharpen filter too and used the preset "linear dodge (add)" which brightened it up a little bit. Then I exported it and uploaded it!

My Workflow:

I started with a photo from my iPhone camera roll -- I think this was on our way down to Florida during the long car ride. I emailed the photo to myself and then downloaded it to the computer. First, I opened it up in Photoshop and tried to add a filter, but I was having trouble finding one that I liked that was "vintage" enough. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place; I'm not too familiar with Photoshop (yet).

So then I imported it into iPhoto and added one of their filters, then imported it back into Photoshop to add the text. And it's done! I hope it's pretentious enough.
