Photo, an easy Photoshop / Aperture cartoon effects plugin to give your photos that sought-after cartooning.

Turning A Simple Photo Into A Photo Filter Cartoon We’ll need to start with a high resolution image of a person with good details and fairly flat skin tones. Today, we’ll be using this image of this pretty lady in the San Francisco Carnavale Parade, which meets those needs fairly well. Your image will also need to have well defined facial features, but not excessive contrast—no heavy shadows. When you have an appropriate image, open it in Photoshop.

( This how to is mostly GIMP friendly, so try it out if you’re using our favorite GNU image editor.) Duplicate your background layer by right clicking in the layers panel. This is a good first step to ensure you don’t accidently overwrite your original file. Navigate to Filters > Blur > Smart Blur. You can use these values or come up with your own, depending on how you want your image to shape up. This will reduce the skin textures and smooth our your image, which will be important later.

A quick levels adjustment (Ctrl + L) can help push contrast and make your image work better as a cartoon. Try these settings, or your own, as you see fit. Your image should have even flatter skin tones, very little detail in the skin, still recognizable facial features, and good detail still in the image.

But even if your image isn’t perfect, give it a shot. Once your levels are finished, make a duplicate copy of that layer by right clicking and selecting “Duplicate.” Don’t copy your original background layer, but instead duplicate the layer you just ran filters on. In our example, it’s called “Background copy.” Select the new copy as shown. Navigate to Filters > Sketch > Photocopy. ( GIMP users also have a Photocopy filter, located under Filters > Artistic > Photocopy.) Adjust the detail and darkness sliders roughly as shown here, or to whatever values make your image look good.

You may find you need to bump up the “detail” or “darkness” setting dependent on what your image needs to work well. One of the frustrating, weird quirks of the Photocopy filter in Photoshop is that it uses the colors you have active in your foreground/background palette in your toolbox. You may get strange results unless your toolbox has these colors, which you can get quickly by pressing the “D” key on your keyboard.

Providing you don’t run into trouble with the photocopy filter, you’ll end up with an image similar to this one. You may have to use the eraser or brush to clean up some of your skin or facial areas. In our example, we’ve not had to do much of it. Select your topmost layer and set it to a blending mode of “Multiply” as shown above highlighted in blue. Our image is beginning to take shape, but let’s get a more convincing flat-cartoon color layer for our base. Select the bottommost copy layer, which is probably the one in the middle, if you’re following along.

Navigate to Filter > Artistic > Cutout to use the cutout filter. Adjust the sliders as shown to get fairly good detail in your image, without it becoming to simple or losing color. Our final image is a nice, colorful image, with smooth colors under a good example of Photoshop filter lineart.

The photo-to-cartoon effect is one of our favourite Photoshop effects and it's surprisingly easy to achieve. In this tutorial we'll show you how to turn photos to cartoons using an assortment of filters and simple brushwork. Filters that turn your photos into drawings or paintings have been around in Photoshop for years. However, there have always been two problems with them: first, they've been used to death, and second, most of them aren't all that convincing. To get a good result requires more than just slapping a filter over an image - instead you'll need to combine filters with hand-painted brushwork and other Photoshop skills. What you'll learn In this tutorial you'll learn how to turn a portrait into a cartoon caricature with the help of a few Photoshop filters and some painting with the Brush tool. We'll begin by creating a sketch of our model, which involves an unusual use for the Gaussian Blur filter.
