"Sketch Generator"

[Darren Null]

Might be useful for smaller or lo-fi image jobs:

Hey this is kinda cool! If you don't have photograv, this is a quick n dirty binary file generator.. I increased the res to high, and moved the threshold to 15 from 30, and it did a not bad job on my ugly mug.. Try it on yours!

There's some other software that does about the same called Sketch Master. http://www.thinkersoftware.com/

There may be a free, older version. Read the site pages to find out.

Sketchmaster looks like it just edge detects. This'll do the same for free:

Even if you do have photograv, there's going to be times where the output area is too small to bother firing it all up.

EDIT: I love the "user's comments" on Sketchmaster. The programmer didn't write them, oh no:

Users' opinion:

I handle my photograph with it, letting my friends get a shock. It's very excellent. --Angle Kall,2/20/2006

Power,simply,easy to use. --Mike John,3/5/2005

Oh! I 'cheated and get' the love of my boyfriend with it. --Mary,1/6/2005

It t urned a beautiful moment into my happy memory that will last forever! --Sam,15/10/2005

Sketch Master looks like a piece of junk. Edge detection algorithms are a dime a dozen, nothing Photoshop couldn't do (and plenty of other freebies out there), and he want $40 for it? He used canned icons to put the interface together, and as Darren points out it looks like he wrote his own "user" opinions. That's pretty pathetic.

...but funny
"Oh! I 'cheated and get' the love of my boyfriend with it."
"I handle my photograph with it, letting my friends get a shock. It's very excellent."
Those are my catchphrases for the day.

Kinda reads like a direct babelfish translation from something(?) to English
