Making Caricatures of the photo: how to transform faces and distort faces

In this article we return to talk about photo editing and precisely how to create a caricature of the face by applying special effects in a simple and automatic way.
Already in other articles there has been talk of how to apply numerous special photomontage effects, as well as aging the face, up to creating comics or photo stories online with your own photos and above all to transform your face into a cartoon.
Those for making the photo caricature are tools similar to those for transforming into a cartoon, using filters and special effects that distort faces, modify faces and create all new and fun images.
In this article we see how to make caricatures online using the photo of your face and also how to use applications on Android and iPhone smartphones, to be used quickly and quickly.
1) Wishtobe is a web application to create fun photo montages and transform the face by mounting it into a cartoon scene (as in the image above). The automatic tool can be used for free and only requires you to upload the photo and mount it in a cartoon scenario that can be superman, Santa Claus or others. With a very simple editor you can adjust the uploaded photo so that it can fit as naturally as possible into the figure. Each element of the image can be moved and oriented to make it match the others and for your added photo you can enter advanced editing mode to change the colors and to cut a part in case it does not fit perfectly. On the site it is also possible to order the personal caricature by sending the photo which will be processed manually.
2) With BeFunky you can create caricatures of a face and transform a photo into a colored cartoon drawing. The web application is quite simple, but very complete and also capable of producing, with a little luck, caricatures such as those of the designers.
3) The photo editing offered by the Cartoonist program with which it is possible to process a photograph by transforming the face into a caricature . The program is a fun pastime for children and adults with which it is possible to lengthen or decrease pieces of the face image, for example by lengthening the ears, transforming the pointed nose, enlarging the muscles, raising or lowering an eyebrow, creating Chinese eyes, enlarging the lips and so on, all in a fluid way and with simple mouse clicks. The tool for editing photos is the classic "brush"; the dimensions of the facial parts can be changed using the “Warp Radius” cursor, and by zooming it is possible to touch up parts of the photo in more detail and precision on a selected area. It is obviously not a professional photo editing program, but it is free, very simple and very nice.
Attention: during installation, in the "Select Components" window, remove the check from "Web Photo Album" which is a software with somewhat useless advertising.
4) Cartoon Pho.to offers a web application that automatically applies a crippled caricature effect of the face and its expression. To use the service, you only need to upload a photo of a face in the foreground, choose the type of face expression, for example, smiling, sad, surprised, etc. and then download the image when the preview is satisfying and fun.
5) PicHacks is a site with a simple free tool that allows you to edit the photo of the face by doubling it and unifying it with the original one in a superimposed way. The final effect of this simple operation is that of a caricature with a wider or narrower face, which can have, for example, the most distant or closest eyes, the small mouth, the wide nose and so on.
6) Stretch Your Face is a site that allows you to upload a photograph and cripple it using the mouse. With the arrow, clicking on the photo pulls the corners of a face, stretches the skin, pulls the nose up and down, lengthens the eyes, widens the mouth, tightens the forehead and many other things.
7) Fotor Reshape is the same face modification tool, which works in a much better way, supported by all the tools of the Fotor platform, one of the most powerful in photo editing. Once the photo has been uploaded in Reshape it is possible to pull the skin with the mouse and change the face in the way you prefer, creating caricatures also very accurate. Fotor is perhaps the best tool on this list for making photo caricatures .
8) Distortit is a small program to be installed on a PC that allows you to apply very simple distortion and morphing effects on the face, changing the features that are enlarged or reduced using the mouse.
9) Magix FunPix Maker is a free program (described on another page) to create very funny caricatures with an easy and intuitive tool to try.
10) FotoMix a very powerful and easy to use free program, described in detail on another page and highly recommended to everyone.
Among the iPhone and Android apps that make photo caricatures we can mention:
- Photo Warp, for Android and iPhone, the most popular that allows you to pull every corner of the face photographed to change the face with your finger.
- Face effects for Android, which works similarly.
To these are added the Apps to create cartoons and comics from photos (Android and iPhone)
