Nowadays, turning a regular photo into an anime-style one has become a fascinating and creative trend among young people. If you're wondering how to do it on your computer, check out this simple guide on how to turn photos into anime using Photoshop.
How to Convert Photos into Anime using Photoshop
Step 1: Firstly, create a new Photoshop file by selecting File > New from the toolbar or using the shortcut Ctrl + N.
Step 2: Once the new file appears, insert the image you want to convert into Anime by selecting File > Place Embedded > choose the image.
An important thing to note is that the background of your image must be a single color. In my example below, there's only a single pink color used as the background.
Step 3: With the image ready, let's dive into turning the image into Anime. First, duplicate the image layer by pressing Ctrl + J together.
Step 4: Then, from the Menu bar, select Filter > Other > High Pass to create outlines for the human subjects in the image.
Now, the High Pass dialog appears, you should adjust the Radius value by dragging left or right until you see the outlines of the characters as shown below, then press OK.
Step 5: Next, duplicate the layer you just created by pressing Ctrl + J. When the copied layer appears, press Ctrl + I to invert that layer. Then change the Blending Mode from Normal to Divide.
After completing the above steps, merge the top layer with the layer below it by holding Ctrl and selecting both layers, then simultaneously press Ctrl + E to merge them into one layer like this.
Step 6: Let's move on to the next step together. On the merged layer, press Ctrl + L to open the Levels dialog. Then use the left mouse drag the slider or enter the values like in the image below, then press OK to complete the process.
Step 7: Now duplicate the original image layer by selecting the original layer, then press Ctrl + J to duplicate the layer and drag the duplicated layer to the top. You can observe the layer order in the Layers panel below.
Step 8: On the newly created layer, from the Menu bar, select Filter > Blur > Surface Blur to open the Surface Blur dialog.
Next, adjust the Radius and Threshold parameters to blur while preserving the image quality and edges. The adjustment values depend on your image resolution, they don't have to match my example. After adjusting, remember to click OK.
Step 9: In the final step, after adjusting the Surface Blur, change the Blending Mode from Normal to Hard Light (or Linear Light) depending on your preference for the artwork. You can also decrease the Opacity of that layer to make the image more Anime-like.
And below is the finished product we get when completed.
