There is a good Photoshop tutorial that works well with both PS and PSP 8, you can find it here. Pencil Sketch from PhotographI tried it with the file your link pointed to and added a couple of layers. I did write a script that does the whole task. I still had to clean up the background with white paint and I'm not sure if the contrast still could be enhanced some. I don't know how to attach the script and the picture in the same reply so I'll try two replies.
