Cartoon Me

When we were kids, we used to paint and make funny drawings using different pens and brushes on special sheets of paper. Plus, in whichever country we go there are one or more people who offer their experience to make a caricature based on you and your friends.

Nowadays, when technology evolved at such a rapid pace in a short time, adults and children alike, prefer to spend their time painting using the PC with various tools, some more complex than others.

With the help of Cartoon Me you can now apply multiple funny effects to your pictures to give them a unique touch. It comes with several filters and editing options to easily alter images.

The installation process is smooth, and it's done before you realize. It's wrapped in a well-organized and simple interface with the working area filling the whole window, along with a standard toolbar that bundles the most commonly used commands. You don't need additional painting or editing skills to access the program, as it can be used even by a child with ease.

The supported image formats are JPG, PNG, TIF, BMP and GIF. If you have a photo stored to the clipboard, it can be pasted into the panel by using the paste button or through the keyboard shortcut command. It's possible to zoom in and out of the item and view it in its original size. The image can be fitted to the window, cropped to a smaller dimension and resized to the desired format.

The tool comes with the clone and rotate functions. From the menu, you can apply distinct effects, like erosion, threshold, oil painting, sobel, jitter or pixellate, as well as smooth and color correction for each tone. Unfortunately, the app doesn't provide undo and redo buttons to easily fix mistakes or go back to the original design if you're not happy with the result.

In conclusion, Cartoon Me is a useful and accessible utility that comes in handy for everyone who wants to caricatures different photos using several filters or just need a small tool to resize and crop specific items.
