A new version of FotoSketcher (version 3.40) is in the works and should be available soon.
In the meantime, here is a short tutorial on how to get an illustrated look with FotoSketcher 3.30.
1 - Open your source image in FotoSketcher. In this example, I have used this photo: https://www.freeimages.com/photo/blue-water-sailing-1-1437302 (credits Julie Tijerina).
2 - Reduce the size of the source image to 50% of the original size (press CTRL-R to bring up the resize window).
3 - Choose the Pen & Ink Sketch 2 effect with the parameters shown below and click on the Draw! button.
4 - Press CTRL-C to copy the sketch into your clipboard (we will use it later)
5 - Choose the Painting 9 (watercolor) effect with the parameters shown below and press the Draw! button.
6 - Swap the left and right images by pressing the F12 key (the watercolor will now appear in the left panel and will be used as source).
7 - Choose the Painting 1 (watercolor) effect with the parameters shown below and press the Draw! button.
8 - We are nearly there! Now press CTRL-V to paste the sketch image we created in step 3.
9 - Choose the Merge source and result images with the parameters shown below and press the Draw! button (you can optionally add a texture and frame).
And here is the final result (click on image to see in full size):
All the best and have a great summer,
David

Wow! Excellent. Thank you
GREAT
Any new updates on how the android app development is going
This is very useful, I have made a script and can run it in seconds. Brilliant work, thank you. I am planning to use it to make collograph coloured backgrounds with a photopolymer single colour line print
Hi David,
Thank you very much for FotoSketcher.
I am using the 64bit - FotoSketcher 3.97 version on Windows to convert a photo into illustration as mentioned in this article.
I can't find the "Add a frame" and "Texture" parameter in "Merge source and result images" option as shown in https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDksx2ZX7KsBTK3hrLzCLyM3HSn78m0oTKir4zj9Ybn4H3dwgARdoiDPndgCb2hUjuBEN1SXR7DgtN-bVi9GY3Cg_6P2VHwOHrqCzj8h04nav_2Hyu3AigmnpPnRehWcVMVX0l_QcJLpd/s1600/5.PNG
Have these been removed?
Hi RJ,
In the new interface, the add frame and add textures options are still present, but have moved to the bottom left of the window (below the list of effects), as shown on this screenshot: https://fotosketcher.com/docs/frameandtexture.png
Thanks David! Appreciate your prompt response.
I have been experimenting with FotoSketcher and have a query on Script.
Is there a way to add the options from Drawing Parameters such as "Soften edges", "Add a frame" and "Texture" to the Script?
For your reference, I have attached a file at https://ibb.co/DHgXzBwG showing the Script window and the Drawing Parameters window.
Hi RJ, if you choose a frame or a texture, they will be added automatically at the last step of the script.
