I found this pretty cool tutorial, wich is more like an overview of how to get a vector effect from a photo in photoshop. It’s poorly written, the author talks mostly about the technique, failing to mention the actual steps, or even an outline of the steps. I was wondering if anyone had time, if they could explain in a little more detail how to achieve this affect, here is the link to the tutorial. I know my way around photoshop, so i don’t need it to be extremely basic, i just need a little more info… I find it ironic that i found it on ‘good-tutorial’.com…

Thanks, any insight into this is welcome, and greatly appriciated 🙂
