ToonPhoto For Mac

Applying various effects to your photos can lead to beautiful or at least interesting results. ToonPhoto is a great Mac app that focuses on giving you the possibility to convert any image into a cartoon like graphic.

Working with ToonPhoto is very intuitive due to the simple and very organized user interface. The app’s main window is separated in two distinct areas: on top you can preview the source images and the adjustments effects, while on the bottom you can access the editing tools.

At the same time, the toolbar placed on the top of the ToonPhoto main window provides quick access to basic capabilities: change the source photo, send the result to the printer, share the project on Facebook or export it to an image file (PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PNG).

Note that ToonPhoto also allows you to save sessions, so you can continue working on a project at a later time or on another computer.

To get started, import a source image from your Aperture or iPhoto albums or from your disk. Moreover, you can use the built in camera to capture a photo on the spot.

The next step is to adjust the shading effect (the edges size and the grey or black amount), the effect size (the coherence level and the edge width / length), decide if you want to use colors (when disabled the image will become black and white) and adjust their intensity. You can easily zoom the image to view the image details.

All things considered, ToonPhoto is a great application is you are looking for a way to give a cartoonish effect to your images in no time. However, keep in mind that the final result depends both on your settings and on the source image content.
