::The Problem:. ::Your Solution:.
You have a digital photograph, or a scanned image, or a drawing that looks plain and simple, which was scanned or otherwise captured into a file, and you are now ready for editing.

You need to turn it into a work of art that appears like it was sketched by hand, drawn or painted. You want to see bristles.

But you have no patience whatsoever and your little sister says you're a geek and have zero talent for drawing.

Unfortunately you  know she's partly wrong... you actually have less than zero talent! When you as much as touch a pencil and paper, it catches on fire!

:::::What is Gertrudis Pro?:.
::: Gertrudis Pro
Gertrudis Pro is a program for the PC which lets you transform images into handmade drawings. The brushstrokes of the drawings can simulate watercolor, oil painting, crayon, and a variety of other styles. You can also define your own styles. As internally Gertrudis knows the path, color, width and style of each brushstroke, the drawing can be rendered at the desired resolution. So once the drawing is done, you generate the result to the resolution that you want, achieving fine details in each brushstrokes.
::: How to use it
When you load an image into Gertrudis Pro it will show two panels: the left one will show the original image and the other will show the resulting, modified image. When you first start,  the right panel will show a blank white image. As the drawing tools are applied, the resulting drawing will be appearing in the right panel.

You can 'brush' your strokes over the original to the left or directly on the black to the right side.

:::::New Features from Gertrudis Pro 3: 

What's New In Gertrudis Pro 3.0?

  • Wacom Tablet Support
  • Custom Background
  • 3D Brushes
  • Full screen paint
  • Better color accuracy and enhanced stroke rendering algorithm.



:: Differences between the Standalone and the Dogwaffle-Plugin version:.

.:Plugin Version:
  • the plugin version only sends and receives images through the Dogwaffle connection. No file saving or importing; no saving to PostScript. But you can send the resulting artwork to either the main or the swap buffer.
  • the plugin version is significantly lower cost.
.:Standalone Version:
  • The standalone version can load images from many file formats and save to JPEG, BMP and TIFF and  also to PostScript format.
  • The standalone edition can re-render and save at different sizes.This is very important for desktop publishing because there you need high resolution bitmaps. After creating your image on the screen at screen resolution, you can have it re-rendered to a higher resolution. This gives much more detail in the larger image than if you had simply resized/resampled the prior bitmap.
  • The standalone version has options to Load/Save Project in Gertrudis native format.
  • The standalone version has an option to "Apply All" (Apply the current tool around the whole image selecting random seeds), this tool saves time especially if you have a particulkar set of parameters which you want to apply to many images, perhaps from an animation sequence.

:::::New Features from Gertrudis Pro 2.2: 
  • new shortcut key: F11 = Full Screen Preview
  • Navigator Window, a new feature which lets you view the entire image. Also it is possible to choose the work area by dragging the red rectangle in the Navigator Window. This option is useful for large images.
  • entering numeric values: All parameters can be set using the keyboard. This change is made because some users have said that it was difficult to choose precise values.
  • Clipboard Support:
    • Ctrl+C ..... copies the current result to Clipboard.
    • Ctrl+Alt+N ... creates a new project based on the image in the clipboard.

Marг­a Mercedes Pг©rez Casado - Luz Verde Del Est... -

Through battles and betrayal, the rural noble realized that his small part in the grand design was vital. As the sun set over the horizon, casting a long, emerald shadow across the eastern sky, Don Germán understood that the light he sought was the beginning of a new age, one written in the blood and ink of those who dared to look toward the dawn.

The story begins in the in September 1097 . Below is a narrative inspired by the setting and themes of her work:

The "Luz Verde" (Green Light) was more than just a signal; it was a metaphor for hope and a warning of the fires to come. Don Germán found himself entangled in a web of intrigue that stretched from the modest villages of León to the grand, embattled cities of the Orient. His journey was not just one of distance, but of discovery—of a truth buried beneath layers of legend and the weight of a crown. MarГ­a Mercedes PГ©rez Casado - Luz verde del est...

As he began his journey eastward, the landscape shifted from the lush greens of Asturias to the golden, dusty plains of Castile. Along the way, he encountered characters that seemed plucked from a naturalistic portrait of the era: weary soldiers, enigmatic monks carrying forbidden knowledge, and commoners whose lives were caught in the gears of history.

María Mercedes Pérez Casado is a contemporary Spanish author from Asturias, specialized in historical fiction and thrillers. Her novel is a sweeping historical epic of over 700 pages, praised by readers for its solid historical foundation and rich vocabulary. Through battles and betrayal, the rural noble realized

Don Germán was a man of the earth as much as he was a man of the sword. Unlike the grand courtiers in the palace of King Alfonso VI, his hands were calloused from the labor of maintaining a frontier estate. But a message had arrived—a summons that spoke of a "Green Light from the East," a cryptic signal that promised to alter the course of the Reconquista.

The morning mist clung to the rugged peaks of the Picos de Europa as , a minor rural nobleman, looked out over his modest lands. The air in the Kingdom of León was thick with the scent of pine and the looming shadow of conflict. It was September 1097, a time when the boundaries of faith and steel were etched into the very soil of the Iberian Peninsula. Below is a narrative inspired by the setting
