1. Duplicate background.
2. On duplicate run Buzz Simplifier around 90 (If you don't have buzz, noise--median around 3 will do)
3. Duplicate this layer. Run Artistic--Cutout. (I usually go high, low, medium on the values).
4. Set the blending mode to soft light.
5. Merge down.
6. Run Texturize--grain--Speckle (if the medium values don't give enough crackle, increase intensity and decrease contrast)
7. Reduce opacity slightly (85%) to let a little of the background show through.
8. Adjust hue/saturation if desired.
9. Add texture if desired.
Below is the image I started with. In the next post is the end product.
