step 31

Now we are going to flatten the image. It’s always wise to save the psd file before flattening just in case you want to change something lateron.
Layer>flatten image

step 32

The image is flattened now, and we are going to make a duplicate of the background layer.
Layer>duplicate layer
This will be “background copy”

step 33

Filter>artistic>paint daubs

step 34

As always when using a filter, don’t just push ok, but play with the settings. When you are happy with it, push ok.

step 35

We are duplicating that layer too.
Layer>duplicate layer
This will be “background copy 2”
