Subject: [Hidden-tech] Question about making a book illustration
Message-ID: <CANtp_Xi+Uuh_RpPPfOVhnhm_8AH4dRonKMJKOLwVOdO9h9nM1Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Hidden Techies,

I have a client who wants to improve on a book jacket cover he made. I am
trying to get the details on what software he used. In the absence of that
information please tell me the following:

Can one take a pre-existing digital picture and use the outline to make a
digital illustration?

What is the software that translates a photograph into an illustration?

What is the best software to make illustrations from scratch?

It would be great to see you in person! I live in Belchertown now but I
will travel a long way to meet my HT friends.

Have a nice weekend.

Several top LLM services purport capabilities like that one. My LLM study has focused on all but image and video production, so I can't comment on ease or quality of LLM graphic design, but I bet they would prove sufficient, if not very good. This guy's https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf-bJpKeji6RWdgfbVhLaqc-nUWEIQClu  covers options, and a Google search for the likes of? https://www.google.com/search?q=free+AI-LLM+graphic+design+tools&sca_esv=05e0918adac9b639&sxsrf=AE3TifO8GenhsjAxPz3NHgF4PEIUW9kG5g:1755293359636&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:y&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiL2rWp4Y2PAxVsFlkFHaOmCBkQpwV6BAgEEAo&biw=1747&bih=910&dpr=1 ?may lead to a good solution.

I have used Gimp on my Linux machines to do this for years.
