Chris, thanks for helping out. Can you at least translate the German Photoshop images into English by writing what's being displayed?

I don't seem to have this same filter you're showing.
 
Nope, I don't have that and I'm using CS6. Oh well.

Hi dadobu

This image looks like a custom posterization which can be done pretty straighforward.

I started with the image on Chrisdesign's post

- Blur by ~1 pixel in a Smart Object (so you can adjust later)
- Add a single curves adjustment Layer and using the pencil tool create a stairstep curve as show in the image below with the result
- Done

I am sure it could be done more accurately or in other ways yet this is one way.

I believe the equivalent filter in CS6, CC, CC2014, etc is

Filters > Artistic > Cutout

If Artistic is not showing you can go to Plugins in Preferences and check the box "Show All Filter Gallery Groups and Names"
Got lost in translation.
 
Hi Sam
I just read thebestcpu's post, and I think the filter is called "Posterization".

The effect is Posterization yet I did not use the Posterization Adjustment Layer.
I just used a custom Curves Adjustment Layer where I did the posterization making a stair step "curve" which is the same as posterization except you control exactly where the stair steps break both in input tone and output tone.
 
Thanks all of you guys (chrisdesign,thebestcpu). I tryed both of your "techniques", and it worked fine. Thank you again.
