Create line art of photo image?
Robert T. asks: I am looking for a way to take images of people and create line art or a cartoon'ish version of the image. I want the reality that it is a real person, but not to be able to identify the person. Does that make sense?

 

Answer: If you don't want to be able to tell who the person is, then you'll have to reduce the amount of detail in the image by applying one of the following filters:

Filter>Noise>Median
Filter>Blur>Smart Blur
or Image>Adjustments>Posterize

You might need to use a combination of those filters to get rid of fine details. Then duplicate the layer and choose Filter>Stylize>Find Edges to add black lines around the edges of areas. Also, change the menu at the top of the Layers palette from Normal to Multiple if you want the original colors to show through.
