These days, there are a wide variety of picture effects that can be accessed on the internet, and many of their features may be obtained without the installation of complex software. One of the various functions that are available to you is one called the Pixelate effect.

Some creators prefer the high-resolution result of a crisp image, but in the world of image editing, there are many uses for pixelate effects. The pixelated effect gives you the ability to break down digital images into visible pixels that can be adjusted accordingly.

What Exactly Is a Pixel?

It’s very likely that you’ve been introduced to the word “pixel” quite a few times already. You might be familiar with Pixel from the specifications of the cameras on your smartphones. However, are you truly aware of the nature and purpose of a pixel?

A pixel, also known as a pel or picture element, is the smallest addressable element in a raster image or the smallest addressable element in an all-points addressable display system. As such, it is the smallest part of a picture that is displayed on the screen.

What is a Pixelate Effect and Why You May Want to Apply It

A pixelate image or pixel effect is the creation of individual pixels large enough to create a blocky or blurry image. This effect is widely used across all media to conceal sensitive information and create art.

• Protect sensitive information

Pixelation is used to protect sensitive information. For example, you can use pixelation to protect the privacy of individuals in photos or videos. Or, you could use it to protect the identities of people whose faces are visible on camera. Another reason for applying a pixelate effect is if you want to hide something in your image without removing it completely.

A pixelated area won’t be as noticeable as if it were covered with a black bar or other objects, which would draw attention away from other parts of the image and make it seem like something was missing.

• Pixel Art

Pixel art is the visual art style of making pictures out of pixels. It’s also known as pixel graphics, and it’s a subset of digital art that employs the technique of arranging electronic pixels to form images on a computer screen.

The word “pixel” comes from “picture element,” which refers to the dots that make up digital images.

Pixel art has also become popular in the world of NFT. Who would have thought that pixelating photos could help you earn extra bucks? Be sure to check out our insightful blog about creating NFT artwork from photos.

How cool would it be if you could turn your photos into a sketch, or even an oil painting!?

The great news is that you can do just that in a few simple clicks!

But, before take a look at these sketch Photoshop actions and amaze yourself.

In this quick tutorial, I’m going to showcase some of my favorite features and effects using Colorcinch to transform my photos into art. And when all is said and done, be sure to also check out the beautiful collection of sketch Photoshop actions for true inspiration.

Let’s get right to it!

How to Turn any Photo to Sketch

Step 1: Upload an Image

Click on Upload and select an image.

Step 2: Select an Effect

On the left-hand column, select Effects, followed by Sketcher.

After selecting Sketcher, you will see a whole range of different sketch-based designs to choose from. We offer both free effects, as well as many additional Plus Feature Effects, which are part of our Colorcinch Plus Subscription Plans. (This provides access to all of our premium features and effects!) 

However, for this example, I’ll be using one of our free sketch effects. Effect IC221.

And now for the magic!

All that you need to do is to click once on one of our sketch effects. Boom!

Easy enough, right!?

Now, while some effects might look great right away, I always like to make tiny adjustments to my effects.

In the next section, I will show you how to further customize your sketch effects.

Step 3: Customize your Sketch

Part 1: Using the Effect Slider

The first thing to do is to adjust the Effect slider.

By default, it will apply the effect at 100%. The further you move the slider to the left, the less intense the effect will be.

If you move the slider all of the way to the left, the effect will not be displayed at all.

Below you can see this effect applied at 100%.

Here’s what the effect would look like at 50%.

Now, this is all down to personal taste, so have fun with it and play around with the slider until you find the look that you’re after!

Part 2: Using Effect Settings

To customize the effect further, simply click on the Settings button.

Here we have 3 additional options: Detail, Color Range, and Hue.

• Detail: This slider essentially adds more texture/sharpness to the effect
• Color Range: If the chosen effect has color, you will be able to add additional saturation to the image by moving the slider to the right
• Hue: This will shift the color/tones within the image

In my example, I added 9 to Detail, 35 to Color Range, and 3 to Hue.

Seriously, how cool is that!?

Conclusion:

Whether you’re looking to create sketches out of your photos for Instagram, get them printed, or make an infographic, Colorcinch is a one-stop-shop for achieving your editing goals.

As you can see, with a simple click or two of a button, you can turn any photo to sketch, or an oil painting with ease. It doesn’t get easier than that!

With all of the different effects that we offer, you can easily lose a few hours trying them all out while turning your photos into art. (At least I did!)

I really hope that you enjoyed this tutorial and were able to turn some of your images into digital art.

So until the next tutorial, have fun with these effects and let your imagination run wild! Start editing.
