If you want a plugin for conversion of photos into realistic pencil sketches, watercolor paintings, graphite color pencil and charcoal, then Akvis Sketch is the answer.

A very easy to use plugin which when called presents you with a window with the image ready to be converted to a sketch at the click of a mouse at default settings which in itself is pretty impressive piece of artwork. Where Akvis sets itself above others is the adjustable parameters which are laid out as a bank of sliders for you to fine tune or completely change the way the image looks as a piece of art. Each slider has a clear description of its function when you hover the cursor over it and each adjustment can be viewed as soon as you have made it.

You don't need expertise in image editing and extensive manipulation with layers, masks, brushes and applying filters etc especially as there are some excellent easy to follow tutorials. If you want to know if Akvis Sketch will work with your image editor then visit http://akvis.com/en/compatibility-software.php to see the comprehensive list.

Akvis offer a 10 day trial for you to see the excellent results you will be able to obtain, it's well worth it believe me.
