It's always interesting to get a new image editing program, especially one that's free. Foto-sketcher is one such program, and its claim to fame is the large number of filters that it offers to change regular photographs into a variety of artistic styles. One of my favorite filters is "watercolor painting."
Here are a few samples of what it can do with photographic images. Click on the images to make them larger.
