Hi folks -

I'm 99% sure I used a function in 2004 that was part of Picture It or some version of Digital Image (or perhaps some other graphics application), but I no longer have the application on my desktop, and I don't remember what the feature was called, and I'm wondering if any of you power users know what I'm talking about.

You know how a magazine will show a photo with a group of people, and then a smaller box with just the outlines of the people, numbered, and a corresponding list of the numbers and names? For identification purposes?

I recall that when I had an application back in 2004 that did this easily - but I don't remember which program.... I think it was DIP.

I really don't think I used the mouse to trace around each figure - that would have been too tedious for my temperament.... I think it was a fairly automatic function...

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks in advance -

You can do it it DIP though ite not an automated process.
Select the photo, turn it black and white and increase the contrast.
Choose Filters> All Filters> Photocopy
Choose advanced options and then adjust the settings until you get the outline you want.
Most likely you wil have to touch it up a bit but the above should give you reasonable results
