Hi all,

I wish to thank the selected few who tested the beta version of FotoSketcher 1.7 so far (Jérôme F., Henrik L. and Petr A. for instance) and I've decided to make the beta version available to all.

You can download a stable and standalone version (no setup) here : http://www.fotosketcher.com/FotoSketcher_beta.exe

Please let me know if you find any bugs!

Also, you might want to check a nice photo blog called Photo Infos, which mentions FotoSketcher. The address of the blog is http://photoinfos.blogspot.com/

Best regards,

Example of the new 'realistic frame' feature - available soon...

Hi all,

Here are three examples of paintings made with the soon to be released version of FotoSketcher 1.7.
The realistic frames are added with litterally one click.


The original images were found on http://www.sxc.hu/, my favorite place to find free photos. Thanks to their authors for making them available.

Best regards,

David
