Dream to Reality: Blending a Sketch and a Photograph

The author of this tutorial George Crofton sent us his story:

"A client, a builder of homes and barns, contacted me with an advertisement idea. His motto is “If we can sketch it, we can build it”. He had envisioned a graphic that would show the blend of a sketch and a photograph of his barn. He did not have any photograph of his barn with him, so I selected a photograph from my files. I decided to use Xara Xtreme Pro and AKVIS Sketch to create an example for my client to view."
