Last updated on January 26, 2023 @ 2:12 pm

While most people think that you need expensive software to create cartoons, the truth is that you can easily turn a photo into a cartoon in Photoshop with just a few clicks. Here’s how:

1. Open your photo in Photoshop and duplicate the layer.

You can do this by going to Layer > Duplicate Layer. Alternatively, you can press CTRL + J on your keyboard.

2. Go to Filter > Artistic > Cut Out. This will apply a black and white effect to your photo.

3. Next, go to Filter > Artistic > Paint Daubs. This will give your photo a painterly effect.

4. Finally, go to Filter > Artistic > Poster Edges. This will add black and white edges to your photo.

And that’s it! You’ve now turned your photo into a cartoon with just a few simple steps in Photoshop. Experiment with different filters and settings to get the perfect look for your cartoon.

PRO TIP: You can easily turn a photo into a cartoon in Photoshop in just four steps. Just open a photo, duplicate the layer, apply the Cut Out filter, then the Paint Daubs and Poster Edges filters. Experiment with different filter settings to get the perfect cartoon look.
