Overview of the ToonIt! Plugin Interface.

The ToonIt! default look is a limited number of colors that create a flat cel-shaded look, with black outlines laid around the edges of the color fields. With precise control over styles, shading and outlines you can customize the cartoon effect to exactly what you want.

The Effects Palette.

The Effects Palette is where you choose the basic building blocks of the cartoon effect. These six tabs have controls for flat shades of color, edge outlines, shading styles and dot cartoon effects. Each Effect Group has a set of parameters to change its look around, which is further customized by the Style Creator settings.

The Style Creator.

The Style Creator has 12 parameter groups that create stylizations over the Cartoon Effect that you have chosen. This area also sets the underlying type of rotoscoping algorithm used. This is where you fine-tune the look of your cartoon.

The ToonIt! Preset Manager.

The ToonIt! Preset Manager lets you load up cartoon presets that shipped with ToonIt. 'Presets' are pre-made groupings of parameters that give you a certain cartooning effect.

You can also save new presets and load them back in later. Presets are very useful for repurposing a style that you like for another image.

The Preview Window.

Preview Window gives further options to control the appearance and behavior of the cartoon.

The Preview Windows is where you view the image as it is being tooned. There are basic Zoom controls to move around the viewer. There is also Move functionality built in for accessing a grabber hand by click-dragging in the Viewer.

Right- or Control-clicking inside the Viewer brings up a contextual menu. Its options include levels of Undo/Redo and a toggle function to see the original image.
