Option 2.

For the ones on tight budget Paint.net and GIMP are free options. Both software are easy and have plenty of plugins to edit the picture right way.

Of course, it will need a little tweaking depending on what option you choose. To get the picture right try everything. But as you can see on tutorials the biggest problem is adjusting the levels of blur and levels of color saturation to get that pencil drawing feel.  It’s not something you get right at first try.

Option 3.

The fastest way to convert your photos to coloring page

Go to : https://www.reallycolor.com/

Upload your picture and choose options from the menu and you are finished under 1 minute. It’s fast and easy but there are some problems. Max upload size and the price of 1.50$ for the picture.

Option 4.

And you can do it on your smartphone too:

Try: colorscrape for iPhone : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/colorscape-turn-your-photos/id1054822637?mt=8

Or:  Sketch Guru for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seventeenmiles.sketch

 

 

So we have one picture.

Now we must decide what size our coloring book for adults will be.

I would recommend 8.5 x 11 inch since it’s so common and most of the coloring books are this size.

But you can choose for yourself. The only thing that matters now are margins.
