| I'm having a blast experimenting with mosaic tile-like Impressionist custom styles, which I'll post one of these days when I get a couple more defined.
How to:
* Duplicate Background + applied an artistic filter of choice (Note: Even though you don't yet have the custom Impressionist style I used, you can try other Impressionist styles or Photoshop filters until you come up with a something you like.)
* Duplicate Background again. Drag to top of layer stack.
* Photoshop Stylize > Find Edges
* Image > Adjustment > Levels to eliminate some of the noise
* Change layer blend mode from Normal to Multiply. Lines were not dark enough.
* Duplicated the Find Edges layer three times until lines were dark enough.
* Turned off Background and Impressionist-rendered layer.
* Clicked on one of the Find Edges layers (any one).
* Layer > Merge Visible. This combines the Find Edges layers.
* Find Edges layer: Again change layer blend mode from Normal to Multiply. (Note: Depending on the look you're going for, sometimes Overlay works, too.)
* Find Edges layer: Add layer mask. Paint black on layer mask in areas whose effects you want to suppress.
