FotoSketcher 3.96 – FREE photo editor

FotoSketcher is a 100% free program for Windows (there is also an experimental version for MacOS) which converts your digital photos into beautiful paintings, sketches or drawings 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, abstract art 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.

For advanced users, some more powerful tools allow you to batch process several images, manually retouch some areas of your pictures, combine multiple filters and even create your own effects by using the script function.

If you want to turn a portrait, the photograph of your house or a beautiful landscape into a painting, a sketch or a drawing then look no further, FotoSketcher will do the job in just a few seconds.

Thanks to FotoSketcher you can create stunning images to make original gifts for your friends or relatives. Create birthday cards, season’s greetings stationery or simply print your work of art and hang it on the wall.

Different styles are available: pencil sketch, pen and ink drawing, various painting renderings. You can also improve your original photo with simple tools (enhance contrast, sharpen, simplify image, increase luminosity, color saturation etc…).

FotoSketcher is completely free, even for commercial use and does not contain any adware, spyware or virus.

Changes in FotoSketcher 3.96:

• new user interface, with a more modern look and improved legibility
• the list of effects is now more compact, allowing for more effects to be added in the future without having a huge dropdown list
• fixed a bug where the print preview would not update
• various stability and speed enhancements
• texture can now be more fine tuned (from 0% to 100%)
• new Pencil Sketch 6 effect as shown below

Changes in FotoSketcher 3.95:

Main bug fixes:

• a bug related to the default printer could prevent FotoSketcher from running
• the manual brush would not work properly when the custom frame was applied with “autofit” on
• the program would sometimes freeze when going to the fotosketcher.com website from the “About FotoSketcher” window
• various small speed and stability enhancements

New and improved features:

• New Pencil Sketch 5 effect (replaces the previous one)
• New Light style for improved legibility
• Possibility to run FotoSketcher in silent mode (via the command line interface or by editing a shortcut to pass parameters). The syntax is as follows:
  FotoSketcher.exe -silent Source.jpg Dest.jpg 18 80 180 40 50 255 n y n
  where Source.jpg and Dest.jpg are respectively the filenames for the source image and the processd image, followed by the effect number (1 is Pencil Sketch 1, 2 is Pencil Sketch 2, etc…), followed by the 5 parameter values, and finally n/y for soften edges, frame and texture.
  For advanced users, this could be used to pilot FotoSketcher from another graphics program.
• The standard custom frame has been updated and will adapt better (less distortion) to the image ratio (square, portrait or landscape)
• Right-clicking on the small custom frame pictogram in the top-right corner reverts the custom frame to the default one if you had loaded another.
