Transform real photos into a bold cartoon with just a few clicks with the help of my Action and Smart PSD for Adobe Photoshop. A series of filters and adjustments are automatically applied to your image to mimic the outlines, colours, and shading of a digitally painted image automatically, without the need to trace, paint or draw by hand. Choose between the Photoshop Action to apply the effect with a single click, or import your images into the Smart PSD. Both methods offer convenient ways to achieve the same result!

Cartoon Effect Photoshop Action and Smart PSD

How to use

Install the Cartoon Effect Action into the Photoshop actions panel, then simply click the ‘play’ icon to process your document with all the filters and adjustments required to reproduce the painted effect.
Alternatively, open the portrait or landscape Smart PSD and double-click the thumbnail of the placeholder layer to edit the contents of the Smart Object. Paste in your own photograph, then save and close the PSB document to find the same painted effects have been automatically applied to your image.
