Reviews for Picture to Painting Converter
A free software https://fotosketcher.com/ does it too, maybe better …
I had hoped to like the program but I found that it would get a memory overflow style error with any image of even moderate size. I realized I had downloaded this same program before with the same result. I wish them well, but that program needs to be able to handle moderately high resolution images to be even slightly viable. Thank you for the opportunity to try the program though.
Ok, but needs some work.
Despite comments about how slow this program is to convert images to “paintings”, I found it did the conversions at a reasonable rate. Many of the conversions looked bizarre to my eye, but then I am no painting enthusiast! I can however see a use for the software in “disguising” photos that have ugly detail, and I imagine it will be fun playing with the different effects.
I said the software needs more work. It needs better explanation of what the controls do. For example, the option “Canvas” is explained as “Canvas – canvas texture opacity”. While that is ok, it doesn’t really tell novices what altering “Canvas” does. Similarly, “Saturation” is explained as “Saturation – saturation of the result drawing” and “Details” means “Details – the number of details is used to draw”. These fractured-language help contents don’t really help – they are not detailed anough. Also, on the sliders, perhaps having a “+” and “-“, or “More” and “Less” might be helpful?
So, I have installed it and I will play with it when time permits. I like the large number of potential effects, I liked (some) of the results of the effects and although the “Help” isn’t the best, is is still of some use. The program also installed and was licensed flawlessly. As other have noted, this is a crowded market and there are a lot of phone apps out there who claim to convert photographs to paintings. I’m not sure I would have paid a lot for this one.
As an aside, (for SOS) you call the sotware Picture to Painting Converter in the offer header, and list the full price as $49.99. In the text however,
a) you link via “Photo to Painting”
b) that link takes you to “Picture to Painting Converter 1.0”, where the “Personal” edition is listed at $59.99.
If I open a picture, the preview of this is very nice with a lot of settings. The suface of this software seems a little bit old fashion.
But the problem is the speed. For a normal photo e.g. 4.500×3.500 pixel, the software needs up to 8 minutes to apllye the effect. And it doesn’t work with my bigger photos 6.000×4.000 pixel!
I use other software from SoftOrbits and the Sketch Drawer has the same problems. Too bad…
Disappointed by this software.
Very long to convert a tiny picture portion.
Impossible to safeguard transformation.
The basic software which I have on my low mobile phone of game makes much better
Do not waste your time with this software.
Great app, this Photo To Painting has many useful & Unique feature.
