OK, guys, I hope you can help me here.

Do you know what kind of software do I need to convert my digital photos into the Wall Street Journal style photos?

I am attaching a pic for you, to make it, ehhhm, more graphic.

Thanks a million.

I've just tried it in photoshop and it is much more difficult than I thought to create a drawing from a photo and then apply a screen to make it look like newsprint. I seem to remember having more luck in corel draw. I'm sure the artists in here will be able to give better advice.
 
Yeah I remember that you can change a photo to any kind of "art" in Adobe Photoshop. You can have a watercolour or pastel or oil finish with different size brush strokes or you can have a charcoal etc.
 
I think the WSJ will do the conversion for you if my memory is correct. Much easier if they still do it! I'd check with them first.
 
Thanks, guys. You have been a great help.

I'll be looking into this and hopefully getting there, too:)

The drawings used in the Wall Street Journal, are not done with a computer, but by hand with a technical pen.

It's actually pretty easy to so if you have a lightboard (a glass topped box with a light under the glass) and the proper technical pen. Place a xerox copy of the photo you want to be done in the style of WSJ, and cover the xerox with either a transparent piece of plastic, or what is called vellum, both of which are available in professional art supply stores. Vellum works best, because it has a translucent quality that is easier to work on than the plastic.

Then you sit there for hours making little dots with the technical pen. Photoshop won't do it for you.

I used to do technical illustrations like that for AT&T publications, and I can attest to this method as being tedious.

Thanks. I will start searching for a tech student, who needs some extra pocket money:=D: :=D:

Thanks, guys again.
