Can I take a photograph and make it a cartoon image?

lots of caricature programs out there; the trick is to define what you actually want done, in terms the program can understand

fun to play with...

xara is not the app, you'd be digging a field with a teaspoon

I just figured there was no harm in asking because, according to my father programs like adobe have plugins you can use for, as he puts it, cartoonisizing images.
And for the caricature programs, I have no clue where to even begin with that, but it sounds like it could be fun to mess around with.
And I love that saying and will be integrating it into my dictionary!

Go to >>> index (auzlink.net.au) <<< click Contact and send me your email address. We'll have a play and see what can be done.

xara has the ability to add plugins, but it is a much neglected area of the program, and the majority of [modern] photoshop plugins do not work in my experience

And I love that saying

animation often feels that way; I dare say Chris would say website building for clients too, but I don't do that

cartooning is fun, but can still be very fiddly/repetitive to get right

I can relate just by what I learned to do with Davinci Resolve. It's just as fiddly and repetitive to get something to look and sound just right but to be honest, I actually kind of enjoy it.

This is just some of the stuff I was working on as temporary images. I had every intention of changing them but making a banner for what I needed it for,
it's a bit of a hassle and I was having nothing but issues so I put it on the back burner and never got back to it, I also got caught up with editing videos for
my dear ole dad and myself.
I know it's far from great and it's quite plain but all I needed was a placeholder until I could make a better one or get a better one somehow.
Should I wait for an email or include the images that I have watermarked here?

Controller Image.xar

Not sure if it's needed or I should put it here but I've also provided the HEX Codes I asked to have used but it sorta got lost in translation.
HEX 3e8484 seafoam green/dark teal
027763 seafoam Green
8f7e40 gold
bc8e54 bronze
490303 maroon/brick red

@Spektra13. Received your email I went down the email route because not everyone wants to have their photo displayed on a public forum, and flicking files around the world is quicker by email.

My plan of action id for you to send me the photo you want as a cartoon. I, being lazy, will remove the background, throw it at Prima and MediaChance software to produce comic, sketch, pencil...you get the idea. Display them on a private website where you can pick and choose as many as you like. I'll zip 'em up, and you can use Xara to manipulate at your convenience.

I usually explain any steps that goes off in the background, so that anyone in the future can follow what happened. In the case, there won't be much to say.

The project file 'Banner WIP' is blank, although I do see the banner itself in the thumbnail,

I've just re-read what I said earlier. Of course, if you're happy to post your photo here, then do so. A few others may well like to have a go at turning you into a Futurama chatacter.
