This is the LOW-POLY effect on on my photo in Photoshop.
The process goes as follows:
- Opened the original photo in Photoshop.
- Enabled the grid and guidelines (Ctrl H).
- Made an Action – Window>Actions>Function Key>Record>Pause>Polygonal Lasso Tool ; then made a triangle ; again Record>Ctrl J and then clicked onto the Layers 1 while Ctrl being pressed ; (then to fill colour in the selected triangle) Filter>Average >Ctrl D>selected Background Layer and then stopped Recording.
- Saved the Action by giving it a Name and gave it a shortcut key (F5 here).
- Created Triangle with Polygonal Lasso Tool and then F5 for the recorded saved Action for the further steps to take place.Repeated till end.
- Saved in both PDF and Jpeg format.
