ratemyeverything.net— Very cool tutorial you can use to make any photograph look like it came from the movie, A Scanner Darkly.

@gxcdesignWhat does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too.
Here is a simpler way!!! This Photoshop Action comes pretty darn close. This Action-Set has 4 different actions with different settings. You can adjust the masking on the individual layers to expose more details or remove the unwanted outlines after the action did it's work. It takes me an average of 2-5 min of post editing in Photoshop to get a nice looking result.Link: <a class="user" href="http://www.addictedtodesign.com/blog/?p=19">http://www.addictedtodesign.com/blog/?p=19</a>
We did this in one our first graphic design classes. It's really simple on one image. A Scanner Darkly was done a little differently (rotoscoping), but the same general concept.Wikipedia:In the mid-1990s, Bob Sabiston, an animator and computer scientist veteran of the MIT Media Lab, developed a computer-assisted "interpolated rotoscoping" process which the director Richard Linklater later employed in the full-length feature films Waking Life (2001) and A Scanner Darkly (2006).[6] Linklater licensed the same proprietary rotoscoping process for the look of both films. Linklater is the first director to use digital rotoscoping to create an entire feature film.

more bulls**t that tricks people into thinking they are "talented" "graphic designers" who "know how to use" adobe software.

Stuff done by the machine looks like it was done by the machine.And it gives back cluttered, bloated geometry.
