PIXELATOR is a cool Photoshop effect that creates rounded pixel art from your images. It gives a circular pixelated look (with dots, not square pixels) with circles in 4 different sizes, from small to large. With this effect, you can create pointilized look and even abstract compositions or backgrounds using additional 6 gradient maps with different color filters.

It creates a feeling of flowing and liquid compositions. The preset evokes digital mosaic art and creates dotted images.
