Do you have a picture and want to easily convert it to cartoon? Photoshop has nice function which allow you combine your steps in “action”, then use that action file for many other graphics. Sue created nice action file which allow you to convert static picture into cartoon styled graphic. The result is below, I created the second picture with just 3-4 clicks.

Download Cartoon Effect action. Open archive and copy Sues_Cartoon_Actions.atn file in your Photoshop’s “C:\\ Program FIles\Adbobe\Adobe Photoshop\Presets\Photoshop Actions\” folder. Then open Photoshop, from top menu select “Window” then “Action”

You will see this window:
photoshop action window

 Click Load Actions, in opened window select “Sues_Cartoon_Actions.atn”.
The action file will immidiatly appear in the actions window.

Now, open picture you want to transform to cartoon, select the area with CTRL+A, and start inserting actions on the picture.
You need select each of those 6 effect and click arrow button, see highlights on the screenshot below:
