Well you can do that to your own personal pictures as well with the A Scanner Darkly Effect shown below. Or maybe you want to make your pictures to look like they are straight off the angry desert terrain of an old spaghetti western. Make your friends look like wind chapped grunts of the old West or like the proper American ladies who loved them with the Old Timey Effect displayed in the cactus picture.
