someof those aren't pencil drawings, but photos that were redone with a program that makes them look like pencil drawings. i can't remember the program that did it... but there is a company that does clipart using it.

Below is and example of what a free upload service can do. http://www.dumpr.net/sketch.php There are also freeware and shareware programs around. Look for "convert picture to pencil" or "convert picture to sketch". These programs would have more flexibility for pictures where the border distinction is not as sharp as the example I used below. I plan to use these "sketches" (generated from pics mostly taken from the imfdb wiki) for my own equipment database. Last edited by kato13; 11-15-2010 at 08:46 PM.

As a matter of fact, I have a camera that does that, too, although somewhat poorly. It's a simple digital point-and-shoot Olympus Fe-26. For other similar special effects, also adds a kind of super-saturation of colour, soft-focus and blackens the outside of the frame (sort of like a portrait). Tony

That's an interesting program I have to say. Not having a lot of knowledge of programming since the early 90's, I wonder how difficult it was to write?
Paul, have you even thought about adding pictures such as this to your listings? I believe there may be some issues with ownership of images, but if it could be done easily, quickly and above all cheaply it'd be a great enhancement to a wonderful resource.

This is where a program such as the one Kato mentioned could be useful. Running pics through that has to make it a bit harder for anyone to prove copyright infringement.
Also, I'm fairly sure that if Paul was to ask for it, every last one of us would drown him in pics we've taken in the multitude of museums we've been to, exercises we been on, and private collections eyes have been laid upon. Sifting through the torrent of pictures would be a bit of a challenge though....
