Photo to Anime question

Hello..new guy to the forum here. I would like to know if anyone converts photo images to anime using photoshop 7. Is it possible and if so any tutorial links would be appreciated.

I had a roommate who would convert drawn images to anime, but photos would be hard for a couple reasons, including the much larger amount of detail in the photo, and the way real people don't have the physical disproportions anime characters do...

but anyway, you might try running the cutout filter (filter -> artistic -> cutout) to simplify the image. (you might want to run filter->noise->median at a 1 or 2 radius before cutout) You could then select the areas of solid color, convert them into a path, adjust the path as needed, and fill the path with color.

Just a thought.

You'd need to find an anime artist to do it for you, using whatever techniques he/she prefers. There's no magic button in Photoshop that will just do it.

what do you mean anime?

Do you want to take realistic photograph and have the people in them convert into anime characters? Or are these background images?

i think somethin is wrong with this site.....i only saw the original post....next thing iknow i post a reply and there are other replies posted a lot earlier....that was just weird!

Nothing wrong with the site... that's the way online BBS systems work. It doesn't constantly refresh, so you could have a page open for 24 hours, and when you refresh it all the people's posts who posted within that 24 hours will show up. It can be annoying when replying to a specific topic.

yea....that would make sense, except i just visited the forum index page and clicked into the photoshop forums, then onto this thread and there was only 1 post. It was just weird......but with computers you get a lot of that
