Color and Blur Photoshop Cartoon Effects.
|
The ToonIt! Photo cartoon plugin for Adobe Photoshop pairs an amazing rotoscoping engine and terrific edge detection to produce full-fledged, high-quality color and blur cartoon effects easily with Adobe Photoshop. The Color and Blur Effects are the primary characteristics of every cartoon effect. In the ToonIt! Photo cartoon plugin there are four parameter groups under the Color/Blur Effects section: Main Blur, Outline Blur, Color and Duotone. |

Main Blur
The Main Blur cartoon effect is the touchstone for the rotoscoping effect of this simple cartoon plugin for Photoshop. This is where the beautiful cartoon look begins to take shape. This group is always active and since it's an absolute necessity to the ToonIt! Photo cartooning tools, there is no checkbox for turning it off/on as with the other three Blur/Color groups.

Blur + Outlines + Styles.
Because the Main Blur controls are your cartoon springboard, it's really fun to play around with their settings in conjunction with Outline Effects and Flat Styles. The Flat Shaded and Flat Detailed Styles create enhanced and traditional cel-shaded looks. The Outline Effects options control how the black edge lines appear in your cartoon. By adjusting these effects you can get a wide variation in the way your cartoon looks by making just subtle changes. It's quite fun.

Color & Duotone groups.
The Color group can lighten up the image without affecting the dark tones the way the Tint Foreground feature does. In addition to the Color group, this cartoon plugin includes a Blend With Original option for merging the cartoon with its original image.
A traditional 'duotone' is the result of creating a grayscale image from two different colors. Our Duotone group lets you easily convert any image into a two color cartoon. The default is a grayscale image from black and white, but you can substitute with any colors to give you personalized and unique cartoon effects.
