Run the application by
double clicking the icon on your desktop.
Click the “Open Image”
Button, and locate the image you wish to use.
Now click the “Convert
Image” Button to start the conversion process. The image will transform before your
eyes into a coloring book style image that can be printed and colored.
Once the image is
converted, you can print it or if you wish, use the slider in combination with
the “Clean Image” button to remove “noise” or faint
grey levels within the image to create more of an outline effect. The slider to
the left will remove less, and to the right will remove more. The default is
200 which tends to be a good level. You can always
start with the slider to the left, and repeat the process sliding it to the
right and clicking the “Clean Image” button each time removing more and more
grey “noise” from the image. If you go too far to the right and remove too
much, you will need to reload the image and start again.
This image below shows
the difference between the image above after having
set the slider slightly to the left” 190 and clicking the clean image button.
As you can see, the image is slightly cleaner. For some images, you may like
the way it looks without using the clean feature as the grey adds a bit of
shading and depth.
Some images work better
than others. Images from a great distance with lots of people tend to be less
effective. Close up images of people and images of structures (cars, houses,
trains, planes, etc work great.) Below are some more examples of images
converted using this application.
These images are a
blast to print out and color!
