This tut will show you how to make a photo look cartoonish in three easy steps...

1)Open your image in photoshop, doesnt really mater what size or shape anything really a landscape, city, or a person. I am using a picture of a football player in this example



2)Go up to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set the radius at 3.0 or higher depending on the effect your looking for.



3)Last go Edit>Fade Gaussian Blur. A window will pop up... set the mode to darken for tha cartoonish effect or to any other mode for plenty of other effects. Lower the opacity if you don'tl like what it did to your image. You should end up with this if you set the mode to darken.



This wasnt a very good picture to use for this so I did a different picture to show you what this can do.



Hope you learned somthing in this short tutorial.

Replying to Trap FeedBacker
It's right there
Edit Menu and you will see it Fade Gaussian Blur
Or Shift+Ctrl+F

Tip:
When you do an effect, you will see Fade in Edit Menu. For example, If you add cloud to your image, in Edit you will see Fade Cloud.

Annimating in PhotoShop - great tip...question
Turning An Image Into A Cartoon Style - Photoshop

I want to animate some video I have. What is the best way for an amateur to do so? I'm not into high end video SW - I see PhotoShop has a video area - I want it to be pretty much like a RotoScope, but I don't want to do it how they did in "A Scanner Darkly" which was to trace every frame, there has to be an automated way. Ideas please?

I really like quick tips and tricks. I tried this on a picture and in just 3 clicks you have a great effect. It was fun running through the other modes of fading. Each one gave a different effect. Here's my picture.
