There's a true painterliness, overly sharpened edges of the books and a cartoonish effect on all. This seems to have been achieved with pulgins outside of PS, like the Topaz you mentioned chris. Still, just keeping the shelf lines over his face was accomplishment enough!

Some of the attempts you guys managed in this thread are AWESOME! However, I'm fairly sure that the original cover is a painting.

First, I know it is an old thread but I tought this was a fine manipulation and since I'm in the process of learning I had a go at it..., nothing came close to the result of the original picture.
Then when I was reading the way ChrisDesign did it (thanks for that Chris) I wrote a post-it to remind me of trying again.
I used my own footage and this is the result:

and this is how:

After starting over a few times I think I got it and it was done in about an half hour.

Is it any good?

Definitely close.

The original was in color as well as Chris' version. It looses something as a B&W.

You have not managed to get the stepped effect of the image against the books as was done in the original.

Yours is straight...

Thanks for the observations Sam.
And yes the grey coat was not a good choice. I'll change that for myself.
I think I can get the stepped effect with the clone tool.

You have done a fantastic job! This is a very hard effect to duplicate. I have no doubt that you will get it!

If I have some time, I would also like to revisit my efforts in creating this effect as it's been one that I've struggled with.

Keep us posted.

Hi Eggy
Your result is first class work. I like it very much. In a way it looks very very close to the original.
I also agree with what Sam mentioned.
Now I look forward to see your next corrected version.

Hi Chris,
Well, got rid of the grey color of his shirt (what was I thinking?) except his hair and moustache which was his trademark.
With the clone stamp I 'pixellated' the contour.
