The more detail you provide in your question the better chance you have of getting exactly the answer you want. If you want an effect like that seen in the Rhino picture you need to learn about Halftones, which is very much retro comic book style as opposed to some of the other simplrer more straighforward Cartoon effects like:
Filters, Artistic, Cartoon... The wikipedia page isn't a bad place to start if you want to learn more about Halftones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone There is also a plugin for the gimp that can achieve this effect but it was confusingly called "Newsprint". The Newsprint plugin failed to mention the term Halftone in the short description so even when I knew what I was looking for it still took me ages to actually find the gimp version. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301201 Thanks to Michael Natter the next version of the gimp Plugin Browser has a more flexible search tool which will hopefully make things easier to find in future but I still think the Newsprint plugin could benefit from an overhaul/rename/improved documentation. Here's an example from the RedHat Getting started guide which uses the Newsprint plugin http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/step-guide/s1-images-gimp.html Gimp User Manual, examples of Plugins including an example of Newsprint http://www.mhatt.aps.anl.gov/dohn/software/gimp/GUMC/#918427 A GUG tutorial that makes various text effects using the Newsprint plugin http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat2/ Sincerely Alan Horkan Inkscape http://inkscape.org Open Clip Art http://OpenClipArt.org Dia http://gnome.org/projects/dia/ On Sun, 29 May 2005, Donncha O Caoimh wrote: > Date: Sun, 29 May 2005 00:04:34 +0100 > From: Donncha O Caoimh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Jad Madi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu > Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Camera to Comic Book > > Here's a method I came across.
