Re: Create cartoon avatar from headshot photo
I don't think there is one for Xara but there are many for Adobe Illustator/ PS. The best ones in Xara in YouTube is Egg's and Paul Soderholm so you could do a search for those. Egg's tutorial is converting a google bitmap into a vector drawing using a locked layer and hand tracing vectors over the top of the bitmap and the link is near the bottom of this page:http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...-Xara-Programs
Pauls tutorial looks at taking a handrawn sketch from the scanner through to a full vector cartoon. This is not a YouTube vid but an html tutorial at the Xone which is a great resource and can be found here: http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest62/
To go back to YouTube Bob Hann is great at showing the power of cartooning in Xara. You also could use a Google search for "bitmaps to vectors in Illustrator" but choose ones that use CS2 or earlier as above CS2 most would use bitmap tracing and Live Paint which is the same as Paul in the Xone. Hope that helps and I am sure others will pile in with their favourites.
