PhotoSketch, A Revolutionary Image Technology

There's a lot of buzz on the Internet about PhotoSketch, a mind-boggling new technology developed by a couple of Chinese Computer Science and Technology students. Many believe it's a hoax while others say it's true.

PhotoSketch is an 'Internet Image Montage' project where you draw the outlines of the figures you want in your picture and PhotoSketch will then find real-life images to match your doodles and put them together in a Photoshopped image that will make your jaw drop. Here's a demo of how it works.



But you have to wait to try this out. The high interest has taken the PhotoSketch site down.

The site is down, but strangely enough, the download link is up. One word of warning: this proof of concept does not retrieve photos from an internet source. You need to have a fairly large number of .jpg images on your computer for it to work.
