This document provides instructions for editing a photo in Photoshop to resemble an Andy Warhol style pop art portrait. It involves cropping the photo, using cut and brush tools to create separate layers for different colored sections of the face, and rearranging the layers to reveal the photo underneath sections that have been colored in. Additional steps include adjusting threshold to define dark and light areas, and experimenting with effects by adding more colored layers on top.
