FotoSketcher is a free program for
Windows which converts your digital photos into art automatically and in
just a few mouse clicks. Over 20 different styles are available from
pencil sketches to watercolor or oil paintings, pen & ink drawings
and cartoons. From photo to painting (landscapes, architecture,
portraits, etc.) in seconds!
You can also improve your original
photos with simple tools (enhance contrast, sharpen, simplify image,
increase luminosity, color saturation etc.) and add simple or realistic
frames and text.
FotoSketcher 2.90 is now officially available for download. As usual, FotoSketcher is 100% free for personal or commercial use.
Head to

Here are the new features and changes in this release:
- New Painting 9 (watercolor) effect
- Automatic check for update can be disabled manually (replace True by False in the last line of the FotoSketcher.ini file)
- Added stronger error checking to prevent FotoSketcher from becoming
unresponsive when trying to reach a non existent directory (for instance
on a removed flash drive)
- Updated some code for scripts and batch mode
- A few small bug fixes (new bugs always crop up...)
- Corrected the Korean language file
A special thank you to users Matthew and Ruth for their help in finding a nasty bug in the early beta version ;-)
