Making a Coloring Book

We have taken a good number of photos this summer and some of them would work nicely as pages in a coloring book. But how do you convert a full color digital picture into something that will look like a black and white line drawing? Good old Google. I searched and found a number of choices. This one works well, is intuitive to use, and is free.

Just download Photo to Sketch. It runs on any Windows PC from 95 up through Windows 7. I installed it on Vista and XP. It works great.

Here is the picture I used:


And here is the resulting sketch:


I downloaded it from http://download.cnet.com/Photo-To-Sketch-Standard/3000-2192_4-10547780.html?tag=mncol;1

Give it a try. Make some great coloring books for your grandchildren.
