Convert Any Image Into Cartoon With Photoshop

 

Converting images into cartoons or giving a cartoon effect to any image was never more simple. With the Photoshop built in Filter tools it can be well done in a few easy steps. Here's how to do it.

I have always wanted to create cartoons of celebrities and it was really exciting to find out how easy it was with just some small built in tricks with Photoshop. In this tutorial I'll be converting an Angelina Jolie image into a cartoon that looks exactly like her.

Firstly, I chose the following image to be converted.

Step 1: Open the image in Photoshop. I am using version CS3. Now go to menu bar. Select Image>>Mode>>RGB Color and click on it if it's not already ticked.

Step 2: Next create a duplicate layer from Layer>>Duplicate Layer and give it a new name. This new layer would be the one we'll be working with.

Step 3: Now to give the primary effects, we need to use the Poster Edges filter. This can be done from Filter>>Artistic>>Poster Edges.

Step 4: Go to Images>>Adjustments>>Brightness/Contrast from the menu bar and select the Brightness Value as 10 and Contrast Value as 30. At this stage the image would look like the one below.

Step 5: Now to finally finish it off we would be applying the Artistic Cut-Out Filter effect. This can be done from Filter>>Artistic>>Cut Out menu.

And with that we are done. The new cartoon image of Angelina Jolie would look like the one below.

Go ahead and make some cool cartoons from your favorite images.
