in elements go to 'filter'
then 'stylize'
then 'find edges'
then if you want go to enhance and remove color.

this only works on some photos, others don't look right.

Filters--Artistic--Cutout might help as well. (Haven't used PS in a while; moved to The Gimp. I wish The Gimp had Cutout---it makes for some really striking images.) It works sort of like Posterize, but without the ugly grainy edges---it makes clear-edged shapes. Try it out; monkey with the settings.

I did this with a "morphed painting" filter. You can get this as part of the shareware version of Thumbsplus (www.cerious.com).



I did this several years ago but uploaded it for this thread. So as long as it's up, let me say, I'd love to hear what people think about it.

Yup, I use Cutout in Digital Image Pro 10. Works quite well, drop the number of levels until you achieve the cartoony look that you want.

After using Find Edges, a couple of quick ways to reduce the number of colors:

Image > Adjust > Posterize
set to a low number of shades; will work with color or grayscale

Image > Mode > Indexed Color
set to a low number of colors; more likely to produce dithering than Posterize; change back to RGB mode before saving final version.

If you have Flash, you can vectorize a jpg or gif.
