First of all, I want to thanks my son Roman
for his invaluable help in optimizing the program code.
Ok, guys, the first thing I want to say – Stringart is Art
and art and even craft require skill, talent and experience.
Why can’t I get a good portrait?
This is the main question for beginners who have not read the Guides.
Let’s see, it’s not difficult!
Here are examples of the same portrait in different size:
Now it is clear? Good.
I did everything as shown above, but my grandfather’s eyes are not visible and the picture is cloudy.
You will have to do a little work in an external graphics editor – to lighten the whites of the eyes. Pay attention to the photos of models and stars, all of them have unnaturally white eyes and teeth.
In addition, you will have to spend some time tuning parameters in the S-Art editor.
Do not hope that you will get something good from this photos.
The face will not be visible, the photo is spotty, the details merge in shades of grayscale. Even by enlarging face and applying all possible filters, you will get a very mediocre result.
But from this picture you can make a candy! =)
We all know what makeup and well-placed lighting can do – just find a good photographer!
Yes, for working with some photos you will need some skill and a lot of experimentations before you could get a good result, but this is also a solvable.
Photos of many celebrities are in an artistic style, such as Pin-up. You will have to tinker with the settings before you get a good result.
Long-standing photography, so you have to work with what you have.
With pictures of pets, you often will have to work a lot. I had to “clear up” the eyes and remove the white spot under the left eye in an external editor.
If you didn’t succeed or you just have little experience,
it is better to post your photo in the
I can’t do it – Help me please!
and advanced users are sure to help you.
I hope I was able to explain the essence to you.
The world is my oyster!

- If you are tired of watching step by step rendering, just press [Fast].
- How to use the Strings, d-Foce and Enhancer sliders are detailed in of the heading Step 3.
TIPS
Look in the title of each of Steps!!!
For a deeper understanding, watch the example below – it will take 5-10 minutes and give you a complete idea.
To obtain an impressive result, the image transmitted for the S-ART calculation should be without abrupt transitions (except for special graphics as in the example with the cat).
Make faces large. If you need to place a couple on the picture, their faces should be as close to each other as possible.
This EXAMPLE (which will take you no more than 5 minutes) will give you a more complete understanding of how to use the editor S-ART.PRO
