For 3&4 I took the image I wanted got all the levels and saturation adjusted the way I wanted it. Then I duplicated the layer. The top layer got 'Poster Edge' applied, and then I faded it back a touch. It still leaves lots of grainy bits all over so I erase over those, revealing the layer underneath instead. And sometimes I'll have to use the paint brush to put a bit of jawline back in or something. Then I made a new layer and used a brush from a set of manga style speed lines (I'd credit if I remembered where I got it, but it was back in '03) It covers up the hero as well, so then I erased the person back out of that layer. It's time consuming, but I really really like the 'comic book' effect.
