Photo editing software with a Sketch/pencil option

[Bralic]

I am looking for a free photo editing program that can convert an image that I already have into a pencil/sketch kind of drawing. I hardly edit any photos so I don't want to pay for a heavy duty program like photoshop. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

GIMP can do it. Free, open source. There is a learning curve, though...

Here is a tutorial on making a photo into a 'sketch'.

do you use an iDevice? if so, jailbreak it, then use VShare to download any photo app you want

viola!

I do not, I have a Galaxy S3.

USAFRet, I had done it once before for an image that I now have a tattoo. But I lost my old HDD due to failure and now need to recreate the image as a sketch so I can get the tattoo work finished. I do not know if that tutorial will give it the same definition it had before, seeing as how it was a drawing with a lot of lines.

There are other tutorials out there. Only you can determine if the results will be good enough for your purposes.

That is a lot of steps that the photocopy filter or maybe that cartoon filter can do in a much simpler manner. I use photoshop so am not exactly familiar with the available gimp filters. If you did it before, what did you use before?

 

[Bralic]

Thats the problem, I do not exactly remember what program it was. I haven been looking around and I think it was Photoscape, but I have to go to work, so I will play with it after work and post my results here.

Photoscape seemed to do the trick, I was able to use pencil/decolor to get the desired affect. Thanks for everyone's help!

hello youy can use GIMp which is desktop application and that too free, other one is browser based photoshop online which is at www.photoshoponlinefree.com hence you can use from your browser, hence no hassle to download

GIMP is great. Or PhotoMagic from Softease.
