I tried, but I wasn't satisfied with the result. I can't remember exatctly how I did it, sorry.
I don't think I had the right picture to begin with, I think it have to be symmetric. It's not the same to flip it when your have "worked it half way" (when it's asymmetric) if you can understand my meaning.

I am not sure you can create a Low Poly effect in Elements. This effect, a mosaic (or a mesh) consisting of polygons, seems to require some kind of 3D software. Elements doesn't have 3D capabilities. The closest thing to it was the 3D filter which was removed starting with Elements 8. Your best option may be to use Low Poly textures. They are widely available both free and for purchase. By experimenting with different layer blending modes, you may be able to achieve this effect using Elements.

I checked the video in your original post. I guess you could use the Polygonal Lasso tool to create a mosaic based on your photo (a painstakingly process as Elements cannot create actions). Then, you could create a texture file.
EDIT: I have just thought of something. Try using the Crystallize filter (Filter>Pixelate> . . .). Apply this filter on a duplicate layer and experiment with different cell sizes and layer blending modes.

I think you are right Marianne and the photo has to by symmetrical.
Sepiana, you have given me much to think about and a new project to try!

I remember I used the lasso tool. And the average filter.. I'm not happy with the result though.  |

I hope you have this in pse . I opened my photo. Made a duplicate layer- filter-stylize-extrude-pyramid- choose 15 -15 and random. I had to play with the settings. Then i added a mask and masked the eye area. Not exactly what you are looking for but it is still a fun thing to do. I used stock image courtesy of morguefile.  |

I don't think that filter exists in PSE.

Elements does have the Extrude filter. It is under Filter>Stylize. But not the extrude to pyramid filter, which is what Judy used. |

I so apologize for misleading you. Glad you figured it out. It is worth playing with.

Thank you, Judy, for pointing that out.  I made the filter on a copied layer and used screen blending mode. Very fun playing with. I can't post it though, I didn't save it.  |
