Cartoon Effect

Step 1 – Don’t go to the Main Menu

You won’t access the Cartoon Effect by the AirBrush menu as you would with the rest of our tools. Instead, it’ll be housed on the Home screen of the app. Since you probably use the app regularly, it may open on a current project. Access the home screen by tapping the home icon in the upper left corner of your screen.

Step 2 – Select the  Cartoon Effect

You’ll see the Cartoon Effect on the bottom left corner of your screen – tap it to select. The next screen will show you an example of the tool with a toggle slide button to compare the original photo with the animated version. Once you’re ready to get started, tap the Try Now button.

Step 3 – Gallery, Select & Go!

The Try now button will take you to your phone’s gallery where you can select the pic you want to animate. Once that selection is made, the photo will be processed and you should be looking at your new Cartoon Effect photo!

Step 4 – Final Steps

You can use the Before and After icon to shift back and forth to decide which version of the photo you prefer. If you decide you want to use another photo, tap the loop icon to go back to your phone’s photo gallery to make another selection. Once you are satisfied with your new animated photo, tap the Save button to save the edit to your AirBrush folder with the rest of your edited photos.

That’s it! But you don’t have to stop there. Photos with the Cartoon Effect can be refined or enhanced even more. And because we’re now in the realm of cartoons feel free to get as creative and fantastical as you want.
