On the tool bar of your image choose Colors and then choose Apply Threshold!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That image was actually created by an Irish artist named Jim Fitzpatrick way back before we used computers for this sort of thing!. He traced a photograph of Che Guevara and used it as the basis for a print which has become one of the world's revolutionary icons!. There is I believe a trace filter, but of course you might also get an interesting effect if you just create a new layer , make it transparent and trace on the new layer manually with the paintbrush tool, before deleting the old one!.

But look up Jim Fitzpatrick and silk screens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
