What the cartoon filter does
The cartoon filter smooths skin and backgrounds into simple color areas, then traces the edges of your face and clothes with dark ink lines. The result looks like a hand-drawn cartoon of your photo.
Use the Strength slider to keep more of the original detail, or push it all the way for a flat animation look. Try Anime style for softer lines and pastel shading.

Is there a cartoon filter for video?
