Curious if there's a way to achieve a similar effect to the cutout filter in photoshop?

Hey, so there's a really useful photoshop filter called "cutout" that essentially takes an image and simplifies it into polygons and colors. 



I'm wondering if there's any way to achieve this effect in susbtance? Does anyone know if there's a custom node for sale that can do this?

That sort of algorithm is very difficult to do in designer so it's unlikely you'll find anything that works properly for painter. 

You can approximate it using quantize, blur and contrast which I think are all available as filters in Painter but you will end up with a much more rounded effect.
