Turning a Picture into a Comic???

[michael-appleru]

I would be pleased if someone could tell me of a free (or program only limited by days) program that can turn pictures into a comic-like sketch (I want to make a comic book with pictures I have taken, and I want it to look comic-y)

Also I love the pop-art effect in photobooth anyway to add that to pre exsiting photos, and/or movies???

I am only looking for programs that are free or only limited by days(15-day trial)

Thanks

Do you have/are you using "Comic Life"? It might have come with your computer.

Anyways you could open iMovie->Editing->Video FX and play with those settings. It would also allow you to export a frame for use in your comic. Please, no Lavagirl or whatever was going around here earlier.

the iMoive thing is bad

I just want a simply application that changes a picture into something comicy

I don't get it. That's exactly what Comic Life is for. I don't think I've ever seen an application that's better than Comic Life for what you want to do.

I want to make a comic with drawing... I can't draw...So I want to take pictures and then make them look like drawings

Looks like a simple posterize effect in your favorite photo editor. Some video cameras can do the same thing.

That is exactly what Comic Life does.
If you are still not happy with Comic Life, try Image Tricks, Seashore, Gimp

I would suggest checking out the iMovie plugins at http://www.geethree.com/ for what you're looking for.

I use FinalCut Pro for video editing in my work, but with iMovie and some of the plugins from GeeThree I could accomplish some of the same results for a lot less money.

It depends which version of iMovie you have. The latest version has many effects under edit>video FX ... and look under quartz composer). You might need to combine several of those effects to get what you want.

Comic Life does not give you photos a comic effect, it is simply a tool to layout your pictures in a comic book style page.

For the third time, Comic Life does what he's looking for, including the ability to apply a variety of effects to images, including several that make photos look like comics. Of course, movies are another matter.
