How to Turn a Photo Into a Cartoon in Photoshop
- 1). Download the photo you want to turn into a cartoon onto your computer. Open Photoshop and convert your image to RGB mode, if necessary. Click "Image" and select "Mode." Choose "RGB" to convert the photo.
- 2). Click on "Filters," choose "Artistic" and select "Poster Edges." This will give your picture the edges needed to turn it into a cartoon.
- 3). Increase the brightness and contrast of the image for better, edgier results. The goal is to make the image more vivid, so the edges stand out better. Click on "Image," select "Adjustments" and choose "Brightness and Contrast." Raise the brightness to 10 and the contrast to 30. Fine-tune these numbers to the desired effect.
- 4). Click on "Filters," select "Artistic" and choose "Cutout" to render your final image into cartoon format.
