Re: [libreoffice-users] Calling all Graphics People

       IrfanView & XnView each can do this;
          and when scanning, you can set the printer to B&W.

       Hoping this helps accomplish whatever you're seeking,

Sounds like an interesting project.

Which program did you choose to convert your scanned photo into a
black-white sketch?

As a  struggling actor years ago, one time I was sneaking my 8 x 10 glossy
in for a small role being cast at Warner Brothers. I stumbled quite by
accident into the animators building. They were so nice and understanding
sharing cells and sketches which were amazing and beautiful.

I can't imagine anything substituting for that kind of talent.

My little project so pedestrian in comparison.

Thank you so much!

Best,

Charles.
