Photoshop Tutorial: ‘Pixel Sorting’ Stretched Pixel Glitch Art Effect

In today’s Photoshop tutorial I’m going to show you how to create an abstract piece of artwork using the pixel sorting effect, where coloured pixels of an image are stretched to create a detailed visual effect. Authentic pixel sorting is a type of glitch art that is usually generated by computer code, but we’ll be replicating the appearance with Photoshop’s built-in filters. If you search for pixel sorting artwork on sites such as Pinterest you’ll see some great examples of this art style where the effect is combined with photographs, usually with these extended pixels creating a melting or drooping appearance, or totally replacing a subject’s entire face to create a surreal image. That’s exactly what we’ll be producing in this tutorial, an abstract art piece that features a hooded figure with long glitchy pixels that extend vertically from his face. 📺 WATCH THIS NEXT: Glitch Effect Photoshop Tutorial - 📦 Join my mailing list and get a FREE design resources bundle! 🙏 I don’t have a Patreon, but if you want to support my work, consider becoming an Access All Areas member on Spoon Graphics - ► Person in hoodie from Unsplash - ► Alternative image from Unsplash - ► Download my FREE Duotone Gradients - ► Download my Pixel Sorting Photoshop Action - Deals & Discounts: ⭐ Get 20% off ANYTHING in the Spoon Graphics Shop with the code: 20OFF - ⭐️ Get 10 FREE Images from Adobe Stock - ⭐ Get 20% off the Heritage Type Milkstore Font Collection - ⭐️ Download millions of creative assets from Envato - ⭐️ Get 36% off unlimited vector downloads from Vecteezy - Tools & Resources I Use: ⭐️ Get Photoshop and other Adobe CC programs here: 🛠️ Where I download the creative assets I need - ✍️ The graphics tablet I use: 🎙️ The microphone I use: 📢 The email newsletter service I use: 📈 The tool I use to help grow my channel: Watch more of my content: 📺 See all my Photoshop tutorials - 📺 See all my Illustrator tutorials - 📺 Watch my most popular videos - #Photoshop #PhotoshopTutorial #AdobePhotoshop Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator design tutorials from Chris Spooner of Spoon Graphics.
