AM looking for a program that changes like a racing picture into a cartoon look. Trying to do some racing t-shirts locally, for example like the t-shirts you can by of nascar. Any help would be great.

yea i'm looking for some too. hope somebody can help us
That is REALLY cool Nick!! You can't just post that out there and not give us more hints on how it's done!

It isn't mine! I just google for art made with cutout.
Line Trace must be a random plugin I found in the dim and distance past. It basically is a cross between cutout and photocopy, putting heavy bold marks between areas where major colour changes occur.
I'll see if I can did it up (my Photoshop pc is currently 10,000 miles away...)

Open your picture (layer one)
Duplicate layer and apply cutout filter. (Name it layer two)
Duplicate the cutout layer and apply photocopy filter (name it layer three)
Apply stamp filter
select all white and delete it.
Make sure you have layers are sitting with three on top of two on top of one.
It wont be as clean as the image above, but it is a good start.

The image above was not created with just a few clicks, and one step filters. I do quite a bit of this work, and it takes some manual tracing to get the appropriate details.

I agree! It would take quite a bit of time to produce that image. The steps I gave will work for a starting point, but you better expect to put in some time with a file to get it as clean as the one above!

I wasn't saying it was by any means a one-step process.
It is not, however, very tricky with only basic Photoshop savvy.

We will just have to disagree. While it is easy to produce an average vector look, to accomplish a piece representative of what you posted is not easy.
It seems to me that you think it can be accomplished in just a few minutes by using filters. If that is true, I am sure several people, myself included would like to see a short write up, or even an example of art you have done with your not very tricky process.
I have never heard of line trace in PS. I use Live Trace from time to time in Illustrator. I then combine it with PS filters.
Care to elaborate on the line trace filter?
Printzilla,
I use Adobe Photoshop Elements V2.0 and yes Trace contour is standard filter with this version. It is part of Stylize dropdown list of the filters menu. Not sure if it is standard filter with the main Photoshop application program. Check Stylize though if it is listed, Trace contour might be there.

The animation above was produced using Rotoshop. Its not the program for the average joe. To get something looking like that via Photoshop would be very complicated and take a considerable amount of time. Even with Rotoshop

Each minute of animation required 500 hours of work with 30 people working full-time every day.

I am familiar with trace contour, but not line trace. When it comes to Photoshop I find it is important to be specific.
