Turn Photos into Cartoons Using Python

To create a cartoon effect, we need to pay attention to two things; edge and color palette. Those are what make the differences between a photo and a cartoon. Before jumping to the main steps, don't forget to import the required libraries in your notebook, especially cv2 and NumPy. The first main step is loading the image. Define the read_file function, which includes the cv2_imshow to load our selected image in Google Colab.
