Stylizing With The Cutout Filter By Neil Blevins Created On: Feb 8th 2025 Software: Photoshop So when making thumbnail sketches for a client, I've had the situation many times before where I have a realistic 3d model, but I want to do a quick stylized thumbnail so they can focus on the composition of the image, and NOT on the details. And to do this I frequently use the Cutout Filter in Photoshop. So this tutorial will discuss the filter, and show you more details on where, how and why I use it.
