This software converts photos to cartoons through pixel analysis to create a gray-scale dot sketch to be used as a mask for the cartoon.
The final cartoon is created using two images: the sketch and the original image to be masked. You can apply a wide range of filters to the masked image, including a color reduction filter designed to create more vibrant and cartoon-like images. Best of all, the program has been optimized to run on any x86 CPU, even those as old as the Pentium.
No matter what Windows OS you're running, from Windows NT4 to Windows 10, you can find a version of the program that meets your needs. Plus, since the program is portable, you won't have to worry about it modifying your computer's settings or configurations. Simply run it from any folder with executing privileges or even from a pen drive for maximum convenience. Overall, this program is an excellent choice for anyone looking to quickly and easily create cartoon-style images from their existing photos.
