Here I am! :) as I've said in the comments of my recent artwork post named "TOON SHADER test", one of my customers ask me for some illustrations with a toon shading. I've make some experiment in Photoshop in order to cartoonizing my artwork. There are many Photoshop action tutorials on the web and I've tried them all, adding also my Photoshop experiece, without obtaining the right result.   After a short search on the net I've find this proggy named "intocartoon" designed for conversion of photos into cartoon-like pictures. Because the prog is thinked only to achive a "cartoon effect" I find it very good, with results and control of the effect much more better than Photoshop and in a shorter time. Anyway it work more or less like a Photoshop plugin and I'm asking why they don't make it as a Photoshop plugin. The only faut of "intocartoon": is a little slow on render and it have also some difficult to manage big files... but it works!

I've also try to process in Photoshop another of my "intocartoon" test images (see the image in attachment) using some cartonizing Photoship action... the final result is interesting!
