However, if you are already on 10.15 Catalina, you will need to use BootCamp, Parallels Desktop or CodeWeavers CrossOver. The latter is the cheapest option as it does not require to purchase a copy of MS Windows.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093317483619075072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977258159897467226.post-59283828287260759592020-09-20T12:05:58.398+02:002020-09-20T12:05:58.398+02:00Many years ago I used a similar product on Windows...Many years ago I used a similar product on Windows, today I use a Mac.

Even though FotoSketcher does exist in 64bit for Windows, the Wine encapsulation is currently 32bit only. <br />So FotoSketcher for Mac is usable only up to MacOS Mojave (tested and works OK). <br />BTW, I've also recently purchased and installed Parallels Desktop on my Mac and FotoSketcher works like a charm with it.<br />Cheers,<br />David<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093317483619075072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977258159897467226.post-69126667587566226202020-05-24T15:42:43.984+02:002020-05-24T15:42:43.984+02:00Thanks for creating the software!

Also, I would like to suggest that if you gave an option to make the photo conversions to sketches online, i.e. on your website, it'll be even better. <br /><br />All the best.
