A cool program I found this morning..and free too...

[Pete in MI]

Its called"FotoSketcher". I will take a photo you select and can turn it into a neat pencil sketch. Kinda neat and if ya have a picture of say Mom and want to make her a nice gift, turn the picture into a sketch. Has many things you can change but pretty easy to use.

I was going to post some before and after shots of me but they were scary both before and after

The program is at this link: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/fotosketcher/fotosketcher.html

I'll try to post a before and after shot of something so you can get a feel for it.

This is the original pic:

First example:

[attachment 109620 FotoSketcher-cmd.JPG]

Not too impressive...but it did add a nice frame

Next one:

[attachment 109621 FotoSketcher-cmd2.JPG]

I like this one better...looks more like a painting (check the grassy areas and you'll see the background looks like it is a bumpy canvas)

Next:

[attachment 109623 FotoSketcher-cmd3.JPG]

Looks grainy

Last:

[attachment 109624 FotoSketcher-cmd4.JPG]

This I think looks best of all.

OK so it didn't do as I had expected - with THIS picture.

It will make some very cool sketches - even in black and white. Guess this pic wasn't the best selection to show that.

Will see if I can find one that does this better.

Me as a Yooper, eh?

Looks like a program a peson could have a lot of fun with providing they had the time to mess around with it and try different pics! You look great Pete and you aren't scarey at all! Thanks for showing what you can do with the program! Hope Sherry and all are doing better and Casey and Josh too are doing well! When is her baby due? I forget too easily!

God Bless!
