Pixelmash Software

It takes photos and makes them into pixel art.

So, you basically you use a slider to "pixelate" how much of the image you want to look pixelated. Isn't this supposed to be a feature that most pro image editing software tools should have? The rest of the video shows him editing the image by hand.

Seems pretty nifty, especially for people who do not have pro image editing software

There are some interesting features with this program.
I like how it can take away the transparent properties away.

If I wanted to do something like this I would subtract the colors.
In photoshop pixelation is not very sharp. It works like a blur.

This looks like a quick solution for a novice.

Like you said, it's a a quick solution for a novice but... regarding to the "pixelation and blur", have you ever tried the resampling options?

The method to make something look more pixelated and less blurred is called "Preserve Details". You can even set it by default on Preference Settings so it works automatically.

You can also reduce colors by changing the mode of the canvas you're working on to "indexed mode" and then "Local (selective)" or something like that and then put how many colors you want. Then you can switch to RGB mode if you feel more comfortable with that.
