Sketch2Photo app stuns the web

Rubbish artists of the world rejoice: a new, free web app called Sketch2Photo (previously PhotoSketch) lets you turn even the roughest of sketches into photo-montage masterpieces.

To use Sketch2Photo, you simply draw rough outlines of the elements you want to appear in a picture, and label them. The software will then find photos matching those terms on the web and seamlessly blend them into several composite pieces, from which you can choose your favourite.

Developed by five Chinese students, you can find out more about the system at the Sketch2Photo website.
