Hallo everyone,

I just discovered an interesting bit of freeware that can be integrated 
as a plug-in in most (probably all) Windows based image processing 
software packages, unfortunately, Mac users can't use it.

Like I said, it's free , and it's here:

Here's an example:

The original:

A software generated sketch:

I've found that removing almost all mid tones with "Levels" beforehand 
gives the best results, and that images with lots of very dark shadows 
don't turn out too well (you end up with a lot of empty white spaces)

Cheers
Douglas
