Pixelated Portrait Effect

In this quick tutorial youll learn how to add a subtle and stylish pixelated effect to portrait photographs.
With your photo open in Photoshop, first duplicate its layer by dragging it to the new layer button at the bottom of the layers panel.
 
Select the copied layer and go to Filter>Pixelate>Mosaic.
The Cell Size you use will depend on the size of your photo, for this one Ive used 25.
Next give the layer a layer mask by clicking on the layer mask button.
Select the Gradient Tool and use a black to white Linear Gradient.
With the layer mask thumbnail selected, draw the gradient horizontally across a small part of the front of the face, or wherever you want the pixels to begin.
Finally set the Layers blending mode to Hard Light, and take its Opacity down to 70%.
Heres the Final Result..
