the "Che Guevara" effect

Does anyone know how to create this effect?

I want to apply this effect on any random picture.

Think this should help - http://fakinit.fateback.com/vector/vector.htm

While these two may look to be similar in style, it is in fact 2 different techniques.

The Che effects have really hard and chiseled edge, but keep the original shape.

The second effects have more rounded edges, and smother lines, but the shape is not as real as the first one.

Here how to do them

In both case the head seem to be the only object in the image, so clear out the background...

The Che effect

Image - Adjustment - Threshold

Move on the slider to change the effect a little bit (I like to use the default value (128))

Done

Now

Effect 2

Make sure your Foreground and Background color are Black and white.

Filter - Sketch - Stamp

You now have 2 sliders
Light/Dark Balance : Same option as the slider in the threshold option...
Smoothness : How smooth the shape should be, the more smother the image is the more details you will lost...

Done

Hope this help you....

Cheers mate worked out perfectly.
