::The Problem:.

::Your Solution:.

You have a digital photograph, or a scanned image, or a drawing that looks plain and simple, which was scanned or otherwise captured into a file, and you are now ready for editing.

You need to turn it into a work of art that appears like it was sketched by hand, drawn or painted. You want to see bristles.

But you have no patience whatsoever and your little sister says you're a geek and have zero talent for drawing.

Unfortunately you know she's partly wrong... you actually have less than zero talent! When you as much as touch a pencil and paper, it catches on fire!

:::::What is Gertrudis Pro?:.

::: Gertrudis Pro Gertrudis Pro is a program for the PC which lets you transform images into handmade drawings. The brushstrokes of the drawings can simulate watercolor, oil painting, crayon, and a variety of other styles. You can also define your own styles. As internally Gertrudis knows the path, color, width and style of each brushstroke, the drawing can be rendered at the desired resolution. So once the drawing is done, you generate the result to the resolution that you want, achieving fine details in each brushstrokes.	::: How to use it When you load an image into Gertrudis Pro it will show two panels: the left one will show the original image and the other will show the resulting, modified image. When you first start, the right panel will show a blank white image. As the drawing tools are applied, the resulting drawing will be appearing in the right panel. You can 'brush' your strokes over the original to the left or directly on the black to the right side.

:: Differences between the Standalone and the Dogwaffle-Plugin version:.

.:Plugin Version:

the plugin version only sends and receives images through the Dogwaffle connection. No file saving or importing; no saving to PostScript. But you can send the resulting artwork to either the main or the swap buffer.
the plugin version is significantly lower cost.

.:Standalone Version:

The standalone version can load images from many file formats and save to JPEG, BMP and TIFF and also to PostScript format.
The standalone edition can re-render and save at different sizes.This is very important for desktop publishing because there you need high resolution bitmaps. After creating your image on the screen at screen resolution, you can have it re-rendered to a higher resolution. This gives much more detail in the larger image than if you had simply resized/resampled the prior bitmap.
The standalone version has options to Load/Save Project in Gertrudis native format.
The standalone version has an option to "Apply All" (Apply the current tool around the whole image selecting random seeds), this tool saves time especially if you have a particulkar set of parameters which you want to apply to many images, perhaps from an animation sequence.

:::::New Features from Gertrudis Pro 2.2:

new shortcut key: F11 = Full Screen Preview
Navigator Window, a new feature which lets you view the entire image. Also it is possible to choose the work area by dragging the red rectangle in the Navigator Window. This option is useful for large images.
entering numeric values: All parameters can be set using the keyboard. This change is made because some users have said that it was difficult to choose precise values.
Clipboard Support:
- Ctrl+C ..... copies the current result to Clipboard.
- Ctrl+Alt+N ... creates a new project based on the image in the clipboard.
