Cartoon - 8bf Filter XI

Friday March 27, 2009 at 04:03PM

Some Ipernitians have already noticed new filters arriving in my space. This time there's some filters to make a cartoon-version of a photo.

See example:

Cartoon version
Cartoon version

There's 3 filters: Cartoon, Silhouette and LostPixels.

Why 3 filters? Well, the trouble with photographs are the huge amount of details.

So, when you want to make a good classical cartoon/comics version, see to it that the subject is very loose from the background. And another thing is structures... a (basic) filter can't see what is structure and what are important outlines. To get rid of the cluttering, i made the LostPixel filter, but it only removes stand-alone pixels in b&w shots, and thus cannot take away all of the structure. (But structure is not necessarily bad, at least not in modern cartoons/comics.)

Another trick is: increase contrast and play with gamma-correction to get rid of unwanted details.

Well, have fun playing around if you have the time!!

You'll find the filters in my Ipernity space (not "photo's" but the "other"-section) and in the 8bf-group.

PS: The filter is free to use for Ipernity-members for personal use, and i hope you like it. If you like it very much, you might want to send me a postcard. (Lode Van de Velde, Hof Van Tichelen 20/3, 2020 Antwerpen, Belgium). If you want to use it for professional purposes, please contact me!
