Fotosketcher

[solo]

Hey guys, I know there are several threads regarding Fotosketcher, I remember I even downloaded it a while back but never really played with it, well recently I became interested when seeing Davidh's thread of amazing watercolors so I decided because I suck at Photoshop I will dust off Fotosketcher and give it a little stretch.

I found a great preset script online from Fotosketchers Facebook page and modified it slightly and I really like the results. I can share the script if y'all want and explain how to use it.

Here are some old renders of mine that have new life.

Well then this could be a great thread to share.

When in Fotosketcher press F5 to open the script window, select load a script and navigate to the location you unzipped this script to, select and hit 'run script'.

Zipped because board does not upload .fss files

Solo, thanks for sharing. Will give this a try.

Solo, my version of Fotosketcher (current version 2.41) is asking for an fsk file. It wouldn't work by simply changing the file extension to .fsk.

I'm using same version (new version), strange, I got the .fss from Fotosketcher and when I navigate to it in the script window it looks for .fss on my side.

[Rich O Brien]

Are you running the portable or installed version.

I've the portable and it needs .fsk drawing parameter files

[Rich O Brien]

My bad.....

.fss is something different to .fsk

I didn't know about the new scripting feature as compared to the old way of sharing .fsk files for custom parameters.

Pete is 100% correct on v2.4+ you can load a .fss using F5 to open the scripting box.

[Ben Ritter]

My bad too. It's a shame I don't know how to read your instructions. I was assuming that loading parameters was no different than loading a script. That's the difference in file extensions.

Thanks again.

Intensive Pastel sketch that applies watercolour, 2 layers of oil-painting and a pastel sketch....

Intensive Oil painting that doesn't apply the last pastel rendering....

What's the "portable" version? I looked at the site but didn't find it.

[Rich O Brien]

Pete, the images are very nice. I'll have to try that script. Thank you.

Thanks Rich.

Thanks Solo for alerting us. I didn't have the latest version, and downloaded it. The scripts are a fantastic new tool. Thanks also to David Thoiron for developing and continued improvement of this freeware.
