What´s New in version 1.97:

• The new feature in this version is the \"Oil Pastel Sketch\" effect.

What´s New in version 1.96:

• First and foremost, the new Painting 7 effect, which uses an algorithm to automatically place various size and shape brushstrokes on the canvas. There are now 35 different brushstrokes used in this filter. Beware, the algorithm is greedy and the filter can take a long time to finish, especially on large images. Still, I think the result is worth the wait. Oh, and it´s fun to watch FotoSketcher paint for you.
• Due to the computer-intensiveness of the new effect, I´ve had to add a progress bar to the preview. Also, when clicking on the Draw it! button, it sometimes takes a second or two before processing starts.
• At any time you can interrupt the running process.
• At the request of many users, I´ve added the possibility to open PNG files, as well as JPG and BMP. Sorry, no saving in PNG format yet.
• If you wish to save in uncompressed format (if JPG produces too many artefacts for you) you now have the ability to save in BMP format (large file sizes).
