Thank you James! I like what FotoSketcher can do, and the new features are really great.
Just picked a simple sketch, raw SU output. The results make me believe that I finally became a real artist

I bet we are going to see a lot new painterly renderings soon...

Thanks both for David and James

I hadn't tried Fotosketcher yet even if this tool seemed very creative and funny, also because I'm aware to install too many softs on my XP system (which then tend to become slow and buggy).

The good new is that a portable version exists (by the author) : see the last link

At a first glance, I love it

hey! Sorry to bump this thread with my own production!!

My idea this time is to use several basic effects pictures made with Fotosketcher and melt them as layers in Photoshop.

First example:

Fotosketcher effects:

Painting 5 Water color

Pencil Sketch2

Vintage photo

-> mixed in Photoshop:

Following the same process: Second Example:

Ok Ok I stop here.

Infinite variations are possible indeed!

Thanks, for the heads-up I really like this tool.

I have Fotosketcher 1.9. Will version 2.0 install over the top, or do I need to uninstall 1.9 first?

Regards,
Bob

@ Bob
No problem : just install it in a folder with a different name than previous
You will keep your old versions

You have even a "portable version" (last line of the page)
It's a stand alone without installation !!!
So no problem again and without change any previous name folder

Dear Pilou,

Thank you for the advice.

Kind regards,
Bob
