There’s a snap for that

Holiday snaps need never be boring with PhotoSketch, web-based software that turns a simple sketch into a fully-fledged photograph.

Tao Chen, Ming-Ming Cheng, Ping Tan, Ariel Shamir, and Shi-Min, the five Chinese students who created PhotoSketch, presented the internet software at Siggraph Asia 2009.

The video (above) shows how it works so you too can pretend you holidayed on a yacht in the south of France when really it was Butlins Minehead, got married in Cuba when really it was a registry office do in your town or even that you were exploring the Amazon when reality proves you were tucked up in bed.

Described by Mashable as the, “coolest programme”, this maybe Photoshop’s biggest and most inventive rival yet.

Happy snapping.
