to do a snapshot maybe... To take a photograph takes a bit of patience and skill also. there is more to a photograph than point and click.
If you insist on photorealistic artwork, then a camera is your best bet.

Thanks so much, Penny.
So long as it has an auto button I'll be OK John, otherwise I could be in big trouble.
For me, a computer was much easier to master. A camera, is about as easy to use as a paint brush. Yes, one can do paint by number and snapshots. A photorealistic masterpiece in either medium is much harder.
A paint brush is much cheaper tho...
I can't picture the transformation !
May I see the original ?
Superb vector illlustration!
You have a gift and mad Xara skills. Very nicely done!

DD, I'm not sure what transformation you're referring to. It's just a mixed vector/ raster graphic.
Thanks so much for looking and commenting Risto.
Hi Gray,
I was interested to see the unadorned original picture without any vector additions
There is no unadorned original pic, DD. The leaves are Clematis and thornless blackberry and the flower is a Clematis modelled from pics from my garden to form the basis for the composite. This is the general process below. The composite vector image is then painted.
Ah ! now I understand, I thought the "painting" on the vectors was a photo and some judicious transparency.
Hand crafted vector + hand painting = beautiful
My congratulations, it's an intriguing technique.
What is your painting tool ?

Thanks DD. I use GIF Annimator from Ulead. The simpler the better I like it.
