I am looking for a site to ask how a certain effect on an existing image may have been created.
I want to create a program that recreates the effect and need to understand the different steps (like "first blur the image, then pixelate it, then ..."), that achieve something similar as in the image that I try to analyze.
This means something like "Photoshop filter X does all the 100 steps" would not help and I do not need concrete advise about a given graphics program, but an analysis what filters I am actually seeing and then I'll create the needed steps myself when I understood what steps are needed.
Is this site appropriate to ask for help?
