Yes, Probably GIMP is the best available FREEWARE Altrernative to Photoshop . But These two belong to the full-featured Photo Manipulation Program.

Whereas Jahid has suggested those programs which are just alternative to todays Gotd and they are entirely dedicated to a specific and special task of applying various sketch effect on image very easily. They do not posses conventional photo editing features.

I think FotoSketcher is much more impressive than Sketch Drawer and so easy to use with more sets of preset of filters and has colour,contrast, darkness, edge threshold control options. And also it has instant preview options just right to the original image for comparing the output and the source image with ease.

Installed and registered without problems, opens up to simple interface one that I've used before.

When I use this type of program I'm always looking for a really good conversion to a charcoal type sketch, and to be honest I have not had as much success as I did using older programs.
In those days I used to convert to film grain and then use the charcoal filter, think it was an old Corel program, it took longer but the results were much more pleasing.

Today's program doesn't do a bad job, but at $49 I'd want a home visit from Van Gogh!

Installed and registered without problems on a WIn 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.

A Russian company with address.

We had had the same version on December 4, 2014. Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/sketchdrawer/#

You can read my (still valid) comment there, if you like. A simple photo to sketch drawer. Does what it claims. A clear install. It can generate some good sketches, if you like to play around with photos.

This gives me the change to come back to Greatis software UnhackMe.

Do you want to dig deeper in the software security question? Do you want to become your own malware scanner? A simple way:
Download the silent runner script from here. It IS safe!
http://www.silentrunners.org/download.html

Read and understand what this script does. It list all critical points in the registry, which are NOT standard. If your system is free of malware and safe, than make and keep a snapshot. From time to time, like a Rootkit or Malware scanner you take a second snapshot. Use one the many text difference tools. e.g WinMerge, which is a
good one. If you see any differences, than make your own "false positive" decision. Here you are: you are your own scanner. Have fun and a good start on Monday!

installed with no problems Win 10 tech preview 64bit registered with no problems. I missed Dec. giveaway of this and am glad its being offered again. So lets get right to it. @Karl I value your opinion and thank you for your review, but I had to try this out my self. I had some older photos of my family lying around and wanted to give my parents a gift of sorts that was unique. So I scanned some photos and opened them up with the program and was amazed at what they looked like after tinkering with presets and settings. Both my parents were amazed and thought I had spent hundreds of $$ in having a professional do the drawings. Great software its a keeper fr me. Thanks GOTD
