Hi,

I have a picture in iPhoto that I'd like to see as an illustration. In the print dialog box, under special effects there is an option to print as "simulate illustration." However, when I select that option, and then click "preview" I just get the original photo, NOT the simulated illustration.

I haven't find any info on this special effect on the net? Does anyone have a clue about how to make it work?

Thanks!

There are a couple of Photoshop filters for achieving this, all of them useless I'm afraid.
You're in for a Photoshop session if you ask me. An "illustration" can be anything – so what exactly are you looking for?

Here's some inspiration to get you started :>

I thought I might be in for quite a bit of a learning session! I would like to turn a photo into a cartoon-ish looking image. thanks for the link, I'll look into it.

Regards,
Alex
