New Picture to People image upload policy

Recently we have improved the image upload policy for most of Picture to People effects. Below I explain the changes in details.

First of all, file size will not be a problem anymore. Now the input files can be up to 1 MB in size, what is five times bigger than the previous limit of 200 KB.

Second, but not less important, most P2P photo effects now deal with images in a different way. Previously, if the image had any dimension above a limit value (usually 1200 pixels), the request was refused.

Now our softwares are more versatile when evaluating if an image is suitable to be used as input. If the image size doesn't match our upload policy, it's reduced and so the effect is calculated (there is no more abortion caused by image size in pixels).

Currently, the four possible steps to decide what to make when a photo effect request is received are like below for most P2P tools:

1) Inspect the file coming from the request. If it is up to 1 MB in size, proceed. If it's bigger, reject the request and warn the user;

2) Evaluate the image total size in pixels. If the image has up to 1,000,000 (1 million) pixels, accept it "like is", no matter what its dimensions are, so calculate the effect. This rule turns eligible, for example, an image that has dimensions of 1800 x 500;

3) If the image has more than 1 million pixels, evaluate its dimensions. If both image dimensions (width and height) are up to 1200 pixels, accept the image "like is" and calculate the effect.

4) If the image has any dimension (width or height) bigger than 1200 pixels, reduce the image proportionally, so its bigger dimension becomes 1200 and the smaller reduces accordingly. Calculate the effect using this reduced image as input. Return the result image to the user, no matter it's smaller than the original one.

There are some P2P softwares that use different limits and make bigger image reductions, but they are few.

Now that our image input policy makes more sense, we hope you enjoy even more by using Picture to People project.

Online graffiti photo effect

Have you ever used the P2P graffiti photo generator published online some time ago?

I spent a lot of effort to offer many graffiti styles in this software, so it can be useful to all users, no matter the kind of art they like.

This tool can create very advanced artworks in many different backgrounds, always trying to keep maximum fidelity to the original photos. You even have very handy image improvement options to help you to get the most beautiful results according to the input image.

To inspire you to create amazing arts from your photos, I show below 3 different graffiti styles created by using the software (by using respectively a gradient, a painting and a sketch graffiti style). I have selected the same medium (a wall) in all cases to make easy a comparison of the graffiti styles. The images are beautiful, so it's worthy to click them to see in real size.

Try it by yourself at the Photo Graffiti Effect Generator page.

Creating graffiti art from photos online

Some time ago I have shown here an example of graffiti you can create from photos and pictures by using the Photo Graffiti Effect Generator released online.

That old example looks like an image created by drawing with sprays in a wall. The chosen renderer is nice, but that free graffiti creator has many painting styles, so you can make a lot of different artistic pieces.

Below you can see another drawing type offered by this online graffiti software. This style creates a modernist painting made by using acrylic ink and brushes. By clicking the image, you can see it in full size.

Turn photos into graffiti paintings online

I have released a software to turn photos into graffiti arts. I have received several requests from users to make something like this.

This new graffiti generator is nice and can draw your images over papers, fabrics, grounds, walls, woods, etc. Furthermore, it has many rendering styles.

This tools is versatile, so you can even make an effect that looks like if your photo was drawn on a paper sheet by using a pencil. Below I show you an example. In this case, it's like a traditional graffiti shading painted on a brick wall.

Making graffiti drawings from photos

Have you ever thought about turning your photos into graffiti images? Well, I have.

I'm researching a new tool to transform pictures into graffiti. The intention is to create a professional software that has many of the interesting features my graffiti text generator has. By the way, it is the most powerful and feature-rich of all my online graphic tools.

The software development is evolving well, so I already can show some preliminary sample images. Below you can see a regular photo and after a graffiti made using it. In this case, the background is a wood material.
