Photo to illustration Vector Effect
I am going to show you a quick and easy way to convert a photo into a illustration vector effect. Here we go!
Step 1: First I will start with an image.
Step 2:Duplicate the Background layer.
Step 3: Now apply the Cutout filter (Filter => Artistic => Cutout). On the left side the amount of detail in the vector can be controlled by adjusting the Number of Levels, Edge Simplicity and Edge Fidelity sliders. For this example I am using 5 levels, with the Edge Simplicity set to 3 and Edge Fidelity set to 3. Click OK.
Step 4: You can trace the areas of color divided by the Cutout filter with the Poster Edges Filter. For this example the Edge Thickness is set to 2, Edge Intensity to 1 and Posterization to 4. Click OK.
Step 5: The color can be changed subtly with a Photo Filter adjustment layer.
Step 6: And finally, to add to the ‘colored’ effect, a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer will help take away the natural highlights/shadows even more.
Step 7: Here is my final vector image:
