How to make a caricature picture from a photo ?

dimpleart is not bad
but ufc-soft eewww.... :P

actually i'm looking the one which could produce pictures like what Wired Magz does.

Hmm i just realize that with dimpleart you actually need to send your photo and they will make a caricature from it.

Do you know specific photoshop plugins which can do so?
I'm looking for plugins which can morph the photo into caricature or manga (japanese comic book) like.

You should ask the moderator to move this question to the Photoshop section as the guys there will be able to help you the best with stuff like this.

try http://www.stealthdesignz.com/index2.php?page=photoshop/vectoring
or http://www.spoono.com/photoshop/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=61

You could try a program like Paint Ship Pro 7 or 8 and use some of the image transformations.

If you play with the tolerance and opacity fields, you might be able to get the effect you desire.

For a purely grpahical point of view the process would likely involve redicing the contrast to acertain extent, followed by a color merge and possible brightness alteration.

Basically you'll still have to do a good load of work manually...I'll give it a go at home and get back to you on this...

Use Photoshop color reduction (reduce colors to 32 or 16 without dithering).

Guys, could you please give me some sample picture which could be done with your suggestion?
This way, I could know which way to go.
Thanks

Did you see my links? they already show you the before and after...and judging from the picture you provided...its exactly what you are looking for

Yep I did.
But it's not the same with what I'm looking for.
See, from the picture I provided, there's a detailed face line like chin etc
and it's looks much better than the tutorial've done.

here's another example: http://users.tpg.com.au/adslai82/sapatebak.gif
and http://users.tpg.com.au/adslai82/sapatebak2.gif

I know now that it's been done with Adobe Illustrator with Vector related technique.
But I still need to figure it out how to make something similar like that :)

Thanks

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear before.
It's not caricatur picture but it's more like japanese comic picture :)

That's nice. But could you get me the tutorial to do the same thing for a person :)
Something like this : http://www.kannadesign.com/tutorial/00-1hair2/hair_2.htm but in english :P

And I wonder whether it's exist or not for a plug ins / macro to do this job ?

This girl is really rock ! http://www.kannadesign.com/home.php?id=3
:)

And btw DVation, the link you gave me is based on photoshop.
Although it can do vector based editing but Illustrator much much more powerful than Photoshop.
Because photoshop mainly is for raster based and Illustrator / flash etc is for vector based :)
