FotoSketcher Update Brings 20+ Drawing Effects To Turn Photos Into Art

Back in 2009, we covered FotoSketcher, an image editing application that allows you to automatically convert your photos into art with just a few simple clicks. At that time, the application had some stability issues, as well as the number of usable brushes was quite limited. In the last 3 years, the application has come a long way and the developer has been regularly dishing out updates. Now, FotoSketcher has over 20 drawing effects and is available for download in 18 different languages. More on the latest version of FotoSketcher after the break.
The application now allows you to convert photos into art using 20 different styles, such as pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, pen & ink drawings, cartoons, brushstrokes, emergence etc.

Images can be added by dragging and dropping them onto the main interface of the application. The left pane shows the original image, while the right pane shows the edited image.

The Drawing Parameters window allows you to change the Drawing Style and increase/decrease the Edge Threshold, Edge Intensity, Stroke Length, and Darken/Lighten the image. Other than that, you can add frames, change texture styles, add text and use manual brush for converting images.

The application works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
