Photo to Shetch

This is a program that I found that will convert picture files to line drawings. There are two versions, one is free, the other is a paid upgrade. You have to play with it to get a drawing you can use, but it is well worth it. Here is the link: http://www.thinkersoftware.com/photo-to-sketch/index2.htm

Here is a picture that Hilly posted awhile back that I put thru this program.

The piece I made:

Aren't you afraid of getting a virus from the program? When I tried to download it it said it wasn't a verified program.

Thanks,

Do you have a Mac? There aren't many viruses that affect them.

No Mac here. Wonder why most viruses don't affect a Mac? Curious looks like they could do the same with all computeres doesn't it.

I had no problems with this program, it came directly from the company that developed it.

I think the reason Macs don't have many viruses is Windows has been the largest OS for computers for a long time. Essentially Windows was the medium almost everyone worked on. And that included hackers. So, many a virus was born on Windows OS. At least, that's my theory on it Give Macs time, I'm sure there's stuff for them in the works lol

Actually the Windows OS is based on a Mac OS. Big legal thing about it too. $$$ I am a Mac user and some assume that Macs don't get affected because maybe we are the ones writing the virus's. I don't think so. That would mean we would have to work on a Windows OS to do so. lol Anyway, I will try this software too. Should be good for portraits too no?
