Convert a photo into a drawing

by arqpitrolla - 12/6/07 11:25 AM

Hi!
I was looking for a software or plugin to convert photos into realistic drawings.
I'm not convinced by the results that I obtained using some well known photoshop plugins.
Does anyone know if such software exists?

Adobe Illustrator attempts to do this.

arqpitrolla,
You are in luck. The Adobe App is called Adobe Streamline.
Wonderful program. I have been using it for years.
Creates files from Tiff files to Illustrator on the fly in CMYK or B&W in tone up to 64 colors or just one LINE ART.
It is a great program. So simple. So neat and easy to use. I love it. You will too.
Glad you came to the Graphics Forum.
Good luck with the program. You will love it

Hope this helps you.

Can do this but it's complicated and will take some time to learn.

arqpitrolla, Glad you found it. I hope the program is free and also has B&W like Adobe offers in Streamline.

Have fun with it.

Illustrator

Adobe Streamline has been discontinued - as Adobe have integrated this type of thing into their software.

There is a 'live trace' option in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and upwards (as far as I know). You place a photo, click on Live Trace and mess with the settings to see what amount of detail etc you want.

The program then converts your photo to an editable vector file : )
