FotoSketcher

The program's interface is sleek and intuitive, with the key features represented by icons across the top. The original picture and the edited version are displayed side-by-side, allowing you to basically compare your new work of art to your source material. There's a wide range of effects that can be applied, including various types of pencil sketch, pen and ink, and painting effects. Each of these has characteristics that can be personalized, including the size of the brushstrokes, the color intensity, the strength of the effect, brightness, and so on. Users can also crop images and add text. Overall, they thought that FotoSketcher was lots of fun to play with. You are unlikely to fool anyone in to thinking that you actually painted the picture in query, but the results are nice for what they are. They like the fact that the program is so simple to make use of, making it appropriate even for image-editing novices. There is no Help file per se, but they didn't think was necessary; everything about the program was self-explanatory. In case you enjoy experimenting with special effects, FotoSketcher is worth checking out.
