Specific Vectorize my photo

[Micah Brantley]

Hi! I'm trying to use my husband's face and torso as part of the logo for our small business. I want his face to have a "vectorized" or "cartoon" type look. Any of these photos will do, whichever is easiest. Can you use Photoshop to help accomplish this? (Also, if so, can you remove the background too?) Thanks!!!

Anyone?

Here is an attempt.

Why don't you just use the Live trace Function in Illustrator? That would give you a pretty excellent vectorized look.

I did that, @JazzyScotsman Shirt and hands are still the result of LiveTrace. Face has been painted on top using PS.
Since the quality of image is not that great, the result of
1) 3 colours is:

2) 6 colours is:

3) and 16 colours is:

4) LowFidelety Photo:

5) HighFidelety Photo:

As you can see, the lower colours options result is quite bad while using more colours option results in too much of unwanted detail that almost presents itself as disturbance. HighFidelity almost looks like a photo. So, I chose the Low Fidelity photo in PS and coloured out the unwanted colours.

How about this?

Maybe there is too much detail on the cheeks that is distracting.

I guess the closer to the 6 colour option probably suits OP's requirement? The OP should provide an input.

The OP said - I want his face to have a "vectorized" or "cartoon" type look. Does this meaning true vector or just look like vector?
