Creating photos from sketches
10/13/09You can’t always believe what you see. When it comes to digital photography, that’s especially true. Photo-editing trickery can change an image beyond recognition. Yet, it can still be totally convincing. And that technology just became amazingly simple.
Sketch2Photo was project created by students from China, Singapore and Israel. You simply draw a rough sketch of what you’d like to see. Then label the elements with searchable terms. The program will scour the Web for suitable photos. It will then combine them automatically. No Photoshop skills required.
(This video is an in-depth demo. Don’t worry if you don’t understand some of the terminology. I don’t either. The doctored images are what you’re watching for.)
