Answer 1

You can use Photoshop Filters like "Eye Candy" etc. for different photo effects.
Alternately, if u have Corel Draw, you can give several effects to photos here also. Open the picture in Corel Draw, convert it to RGB or CMYK Bitmap and start using the diferent filters that come with Corel Draw.
It's real fun.
Good Luck !!!!

Answer 2

I've been using Photoshop for several years and at first I struggled with this.

It just looked like a high-quality photograph that was shot in a well-lit environment.

But then I looked closer, and saw how the brunettes hair looks kind of funky. Then I realized it must be the Photoshop Filter called "Paint Daubs" I dont know if they did it to the whole thing, or used the "Magic Wand" to "make that area of her hair" a "selection" then created a new layer with it, then applied the Paint Daubs filter. (It's at Filter - Paint Daubs by the way, on the top of the screen.)

For the rich color of the photo, if it wasn't shot in a well lit professional environment, maybe they Adjusted the Levels, or Britghtness contrast, or used Auto-levels. (Located at: Image - Adjustments)

Another thing that I just thought of, that it could be, was if they made a new layer, and filled it with the color orange. (Edit - Fill)

Then "Multiplied" or used another Ink-Effect, it over the pic, to give it the orangish quality. The Ink-effects are located on the Layers window.

The effects function in Adobe Photoshop or any image creation and editing software tool is known as "Filter", which is usually a plug-in. Learn the meaning and how to use "Filter" from the Adobe Photoshop help file and do add in more filter plug-in into your Adobe Photoshop, e.g. Alien filter plug-in.

If you mean Photo Manipulation, there are many good tutorials on www.goodtutorials.com
To photo manip, I just brush over areas with a soft black or white brush and set that layer to overlay with a lower opacity. You can also try to bluring (motion and gaussian work the best) with a lower opacity as well.

Answer 5

just duplicate your image layer and place it on top. use filter -> gaussian blur(amount can be any thing you choose) the set the layer mode-> overlay.

now you will have a image that is over exposed sort

if you need a cartoonish image change the layer mode to -> darken
