Photo Combiner Editor's Review

'Photo to Color Sketch' is a simple program that applies some filters on a photo. It only accepts BMP and JPG files as input. You have three predefined ways to work with a photo. The first one is 'Color'. Here you have three fringes that transform your photo very easily into an impressive sketch. You can also invert the colors or sharpen them. If you make a mistake, you can undo the modifications one by one or you can erase them all at once by clicking the 'Renew' button. If the picture is too big to fit the preview window, you can zoom in. However, be careful because if you zoom in too much and then zoom out the quality of the photo will suffer.

'B&W' is the second predefined way you can work with a photo. As the name suggests, everything you change in a picture is in black and white. You can combine one or more effects to obtain the desired result.

The last predefined way is the one that disappointed me the most. It's called 'Freehand' and it looks like it's not finished. The tools can't be resized and are practically useless. If you select a tool and then switch to the 'Color' or the 'B&W' tab, that tool will still be available.

Pluses: Nice effects.

Drawbacks / flaws: It has some unfinished features. It's expensive.

In conclusion: I look forward to the next release and I hope it will work better.
