It didn't work for me.. Basically I only get a blur image in return. Didn't look anything much like a cartoon..

That worked pretty well! If done right, you should have gotten a fairly cartoon-ish picture. Here's a before and after of a rapper friend of mine.




Pretty neat man!

thats not even close in cartoonish but it does look nice with the no body attach to the head and hands though.

It's semi-cartoonish at best. It's just a quick way. I know there's a few better ways but I can't remember them offhand. Good-tutorials.com has several though.

thanks men you are very very very gooooooood

It was really simple, and what it did most was soften the features due to the blur. I tried it on a picture of my dad and myself, and I looked sick to be frank... Plus my dad looked like he was gay in the result... it probably softened the features a bit too much, though it may come in handy some day. I'm thinking of using it on objects and not people. It has a painted effect~

does photoshop have a tool for vectorizing pictures?

Ty for the tut man. It is too simple to find it myself.
I needed this.

As any effect, doesn´t work well in every picture that you use... and I wouldn´t say that the result is cartoon-alike but it´s a good tip. Thanks for sharing it.

Somebody should pick all these great PS tricks that people gently share in the forum and join them in a great effects tut. Some of them are so good...

Would anyone care to post their result?
I'm too lazy to open up Photoshop at the moment. An example would be extremely,very,positively helpful!
