FotoSketcher 2.80 beta available for testing *** update ***

Hi all,

FotoSketcher 2.80 is nearly ready to be released. If you're interested in testing a beta version, you can download it here: http://www.fotosketcher.com/FotoSketcher_2.80_beta3.exe
***updated*** integer overflow bug corrected (thx Casey) and colour added to the new Pencil Sketch 4 

I have replaced the old "Pencil Sketch 4" effect with a brand new one (see example below) and have improved the "Automatic contrast and sharpening" function (press CTRL+A to improve the source image).

At present the new "Pencil Sketch 4" effect is black & white only. I intend to add colour in the final version.

And here is an untouched black & white example (click on image to view in full size):

All the best,

David
