1) - Use a RGB image(gray tones, 600x600,low detail objects, faces, fruits...)

2) - Copy image layer 3 times.
3) -Use filters->blur->gaussian blur(h=35,v=35) on first copy.

4) - Adjust contrast
on second copy: image->colors->levels(input levels: 0,1.0,213).
- Adjust contrast on third copy: image->colors->levels(input
levels: 0,1.0,201).
5) - On second copy use: filters->distorts->Newsprint(cell
size=4, separate to: intensity, angle=45, spot function=line,oversample=15).
-
On third copy use: filters->distorts->Newsprint(cell size=4, separate
to: intensity, *angle=-45, spot function=line,oversample=15).
* If second or third copy gets transparent, merge it
down with a black layer. )


6) - Add contrast to both images.(image->colors->levels)
-
On second and third layer use: filters->map->displace(y displacement=15,
image=first copy - *don't use x displacement - **Use the first layer(blur) as
the displacement map).


7) - Delete the first layer
(*blur)
- Set
second layer mode to "Darken only".
- Use Layers => Flatten image
