Answer 1

This is done with a multiple layers, edge detect filter, and a background.  Take your background image and loaded in a layer.  Create a new layer and open your foreground image (of your face?).  Now play with the some of the edge detect filters to get the affect that you want.  Set transparency of the foreground layer to 50% to start.  You can play with various filters on the foreground and the transparency to get the exact affect you want.

Good luck and have fun.
