Pop Art Effects

Andy Warhol used a process called photo silkscreen, transferring an image to film, and then the film was burned onto a screen using a strong light. Some of his famous portraits include: Marilyn Monroe, and The Ernesto Che Guevara.

Applying digital filters to produce the famous Andy Warhol pop art effect you can change any image into a masterpiece just like the original artists.
