Photoshop Tutorial: Pixel Sorting Stretched Pixel Glitch Art Effect

In todays Photoshop tutorial Im going to show you how to create an abstract piece of artwork using the pixel sorting effect, where coloured pixels of an image are stretched to create a detailed visual effect. Authentic pixel sorting is a type of glitch art that is usually generated by computer code, but well be replicating the appearance with Photoshops builtin filters. If you search for pixel sorting artwork on sites such as Pinterest youll see some great examples of this art style where the effect is combined with photographs, usually with these extended pixels creating a melting or drooping appearance, or totally replacing a subjects entire face to create a surreal image. Thats exactly what well be producing in this tutorial, an abstract art piece that features a hooded figure with long glitchy pixels that extend vertically from his face.
