This software enables easy conversion of photos into crayon or carbon sketches. By analyzing differences in color and brightness, it produces gray-scale dots that form the sketch.
The program uses advanced algorithms to analyze your photos and create sketches based on differences in color and brightness of pixels. It then adds gray dots in those locations to create the sketch. You can filter and enhance the raw sketch to remove any noise introduced by the camera or other filters.
If you want to take things a step further, you can combine the sketch with a color image to create a crayon sketch. You can even apply different filters to the color image, such as a color reduction one, to create the look of a color cartoon.
One of the best things about this program is its flexibility. It has been compiled to adapt to the CPU you're using, so it can be run on any x86 CPU, even an old Pentium one. And with several versions available, you're sure to find one that works for your needs and operating system - it runs on any Windows OS from Windows NT4 to Windows 10.
Finally, the program is completely portable. It doesn't need to be installed on your computer, which means it won't mess with your system configurations. You can run it from any folder where you have executing privileges, meaning you can even run it from a pen drive (if you have permission to execute programs from it). Overall, this program is a great choice for anyone looking to easily transform their photos into sketches or cartoons.
