    Cartoon oil paint look: What the Photoshop action does to your images

    What does the "Cartoon" Photoshop action do to your images? - First, you create a selection for your subject and color its area black on a new layer. Photoshop will then know which areas should remain in front of the monochrome canvas.

    Then start the action and the look will be created based on the characteristics of your image. Areas with very intricate details are combined, such as the skin on the woman's forehead in the following example. In contrast, structures such as the hair are finely worked out in the style of an oil paint look . The colors are based on the specifications of your picture. You can then add a color of your choice to the background.
