Toonamation

graphic novel effects for photo and video

I gave an Open Grid presentation at BlogPhilly (I’m glad Lisa coaxed me into it), where I volunteered to toon photos people were taking at BlogPhiladelphia. I ended up tooning about a third of the photostream, applying default settings for hard edge, comic, and ink and wash. Here’s my Flickr page, where you can find toons I uploaded sorted according to pre-toon photographer.

In case you were wondering why some photos weren’t chosen, selection was a bit arbitrary, but we ended up concentrating more on photos where faces were visible and where there was some contrast for our algorithms to play with, especially across the faces. I think this made for toons that were more interesting aesthetically. I’m including several representative ones I liked below, though I had many other favorites. These all happen to be landscape orientation, just because that displays better here. Also, if you liked our toons and are using them on your blogs or passing them around, let us know. Thanks.
