Line-art plugin?

[Giovanni]

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a plugin that transform a picture (photo) in a sketch.

I think something like a "find edges" feature, that could give an idea of a drawing made over a photo.

...ah, almost forgot ...possibly free!

This plug-in will do just what you want but you must play with it a bit to get the settings just right then you can save them to reuse any time.

In my first glide over plugins world I noticed this one, but the samples didn't show me what I am looking for.
If you say that should be possible I'll make a try.
Thanks for your advice!

yes you can get true line art but must search to find right settings

There is another plug-in I've tried and it is pretty good for doing line art out of a photo and that is "India Ink" by Flaming Pear, they also make Super Blade Pro, you can try it for free for 30 days, after that you have to buy it. Pretty neat, only costs $15.00. It also can do line plus color.

Try http://www.xero-graphics.co.uk/downloads.htm in one of the sets there is a plugin called line art - probably just what you are looking for. The others are pretty good too and free.

Thanks to everybody for your suggestion.
I tried a bunch of the filters here and found Redfield SketchMaster the most similar to what I want to achieve.
You know, Christmas is coming and I'm trying to create some original cards for the gifts. Will post some samples here when ready.

Buon Natale! Marry Christmas!
