Please how do i create photo animation or cartoon on photoshop

Dgoldenchild: Please how do i create photo animation or cartoon on photoshop

Hi Dgoldenchild, whilst some level of animation can be achieved with Ps, it isn't the best tool for what you want. Adobe After Effects would be the ideal weapon of choice. Although, stills can be built in Ps, Ae is a much more robust tool for creating animations. Hope I helped.
Cheers.

Yea thanks bro. About the software u said earlier on, how do i get it?

How do I cartoon a picture please help this rili tough

timiluv: How do I cartoon a picture please help this rili tough

its tricky, I dabbled in it some time ago and it didn't really interest me as I thought it would. That being said, My weapon of choice for cartooning a picture would be Illustrator and not photoshop. You can really zoom in and just vector away without being distracted by pixels.

To answer your question though, I suggest you google it to get tutorials. I'd post a link to a good one I looked up back in the day but my post would probably get blocked.

Let me know if you don't find anything decent, drop your mail and ill send the link.
Hope I helped.

You have to upgrade to the cs6 extended package mate.

anyhelp on how to do that?

You'd have to buy the package. Unless you want to go the torrent route - which I'm not endorsing, just pointing out. You can get a cracked version of a torrent site but this isn't legal.

as a novice, how can ilearn photoshop? what version shud istart with? whats the different been cs5,cs6 and photoshop7?

slicreports: as a novice, how can ilearn photoshop? what version shud istart with? whats the different been cs5,cs6 and photoshop7?

only difference is increased performance and capabilities as the versions go up. Start off by getting yourself familiar with any version and just work your way up from there. There're loads of materials online. Youtube was where I started. It helps to see how fast the tutor navigates the interface and what they click. It's so much fun once you get to a comfy level where you can take on bigger challenges and what not. Get to work mate. Goodluck!

Hi, (I'll go ahead and assume you know your way around the interface but correct me if I'm wrong and I'll re-explain) yh you're right about layer masks. when you've applied your mask, grab a soft round brush and set opacity to somewhere around 30%. Set the brush colour to black and brush away the line you want to get rid of. Let me know if that wasn't clear enough and I'll try explaining with screen shots.

kindly show me how to 1,merge picture together, and remove features from one picture and fix to another picture

thanks

Guys please,though i'm a novice,please wat software do i use in smoothenin a pic,to clear d face of d ppl in it...thanks.

so here it goes.
In this tut, I'll be showing you how to:
1. Put two separate images together and
2. Blend them to look natural.

Difficulty: Beginner
Estimated time: 45 mins - 1hr tops.
Weapon of choice: Adobe Photoshop CS6

NB This was a bit of rush job so sorry if it doesn't look polished. Only did this to try to explain most of the questions you guys ask here. I have the original files and will be using it as a template for explaining things in the future.

Here we go
1


We've got a pic of cherries on one document.

2


On another document we've got a pic of peaches.

3

We'll be focusing on these three peaches here. The idea is to somehow move them to the cherry document to add to the composition.

4

So at this point I grab my 'pen' tool,(shortcut 'p') as that is what I'll be using for cutting out the images.

5.

I set the mode to 'path'. What this means is I'm telling photoshop to make the pen tool work as a path creator only i.e you want to use it to outline something that needs to be selected. You'll understand better further down.

6.

I then start working my way round the images I'd like to cut out. To learn how to use the pen tool consider looking up 'photoshop pen tool beginner tutorials', watch out for a site called 'psd tuts'.

7.

I've created my shape round the peaches and am now ready to change the path to a selection and then to move it to the other document.

8.

Still with the pen tool active, I right-click inside the canvas and chose the 'Make Selection' option which opens a window that asks you to set the feathering and a few other things.I hit the 'enter' key and ended up with the following:

9.

They call that line 'marching ants' for obvious reasons.
At this point, we have a fine selection round our image (thanks to the precision of the pen tool).

So I hit the good ol' 'Ctrl + C' (Cmd + C for Mac users) to copy the selection.

10.

Switched over to the cherry psd and pasted the document with; 'Ctrl + V' (Cmd + V for Mac users).


11

I then positioned it as you see it on the image by flipping the image horizontally; 'Ctrl + T' (Cmd + T for Mac users) and chose the 'Flip Horizontal' option. I also scaled it proportionately by holding down the 'Shift' key and dragging one of the corners. The shift key ensures everything grows or shrinks equally.

12

I'm trying to make it look like the peach is behind the cherries so I've reduced the opacity so I can cut the shapes of the things in front, mask the shapes out and create the illusion that the peach is indeed behind. To alter the opacity, look at the panel I clicked above to show the slider I then dragged to reduce the layers visibility

13

I used the same pen tool I used earlier and pretty much did the same thing.

14

Repeated the same thing here to shape out the stem of the cherry as that needs to be in front too.

now with all these shapes outlined, I changed them to selections (remember the marching ants?) and then masked them out.
The mask button can be found here:

NB: That screenshot was actually meant for another step but it does show the mask button at the bottom of the layer panel.

15

and this is what I ended up with after masking out the selection.
So I thought I'd go an extra mile and add some shadows and also use that opportunity to explain masking in more detail..

16

That right there is a shape drawn with the pen tool (not a path but a shape). The idea is simple; I'll build a dark shape around the area I want the shadow to reach. Ideally, this should take more than one shape to recreate the several shadows cast by different light sources hitting the peaches but this is just for demonstration purposes so scratch that.
When I build that shape as you see above, I then click the mask button while holding down the 'alt' key.

===== I'll go off on a tangent here and explain masks as detailed as I can because I see a lot of tuts on here and some creatives still use the eraser tool, thats a big no no! Feel free to scroll through to the point where I have this line drawn up again to continue with the tut====================================================================================================

Now here's the thing about masks;

By definition, masks are used to hide things from plain view and the same concept applies here. Think of a mask as an eraser that you can undo easily. You apply a mask to a layer, use a brush and select either colour black (to hide or erase stuff) or white (to show stuff), then you simply brush away the part of the masked image you don't want and if you realise you've made a mistake, simply switch to a white brush and paint it back on..That's it in a nutshell. I've explained with screenshots below:

You have your layer panel:
a

all layers are arranged on top of each other and are seen that way on the canvas/viewing pane (whatever you wanna call it)..

b

..and as mentioned earlier, here's the mask button..

c

when a layer is active, and you click that button, it attaches a mask to the layer.
Now if you look carefully, you'll see four outlines surrounding the mask. That's photoshop telling you that the mask is what you'll be editing if you do anything to that layer.
To switch to the main image, you'll have to click it on the panel and you should see the white lines on the main image thumbnail.

d

Select the brush tool and right-click inside the canvas area to see the brush options. Choose what suits the purpose and chack to see that the mask is active before you start brushing away.

e

Set your opacity to suit your purpose. The 40% you see here combined with a soft brush makes for a smooth finish, reduce opacity for a more controlled application.

f

ok so 3 things:
1. Notice the two colours on the colour tool? Black and White. Like I said, black to hide and white to show.
2. See how I've masked part of this pic? The white background is what you see under the pic.
3. Notice how the mask now looks partly dark? Those are the areas that have been masked away and to undo that I can simply switch to a white brush and paint things back on

..So that's masks 101. It has many uses which I might touch in future tutorials(if I can get myself to do them).

======Back to the main tut=================================================================================

In holding down the alt key when activating the mask, It comes as its inverted color (from white to black) so instead of having to brush things off, I have to brush them on. (remember the black white concept I explained earlier?..yh, its black, so it hides everything, now I have to use a white brush to bring things into view).

17

Looking at the mask, you can see its dark, and I'm selecting a soft round brush (which will be white) to slowly brush in the shades.


18

You can see how things are starting to take shape.

19

Could be improved but you can tell how easy it is to put these things together.

That's it folks. Feel free to ask questions and I'll try explain if I can. Please reference the shots in question with their numbers so I can find them easily and answer you.

I hope with this tut, I've done enough to answer the following:

BERNIMOORE: kindly show me how to 1,merge picture together, and remove features from one picture and fix to another picture

thanks

In using the pen tool, you can cut out smooth copies of what you want and move them with the move tool. Same way I cut out the peaches and copied them to another document entirely.

yungbeef: ya I tink I got it. Hw wld u knw a soft brush and also chng d colors? Wldnt mind if u hlpd me with d screenshot tutorial. Jst finishd understndin all d blur functions. Nt bad for sm1 dat jst strtd 2wiks ago. Lol

The brush tool was explained in the tut as well as the colour selector. I don't think I touched on that a lot though.. but I think you should have a handle on the that now. The colour selection that is.

Thanks for your time and patience. It's all about learning from each other.
