Program for Changing a Photo into Art

[TuxedoKat]

I know some people on DU will have some good suggestions for this question. Here is the situation: an organization where I volunteer has stationery for thank you cards for donors to our annual fundraiser -- it has a nice picture of our building on the front. Our president wants something new as we've used the same one the past few years. I know there are programs or apps that will change the look of a photo. I'm looking for something that will change the look of this photo to give different effects, such as black and white drawing, sepia, abstract art, watercolor effect, pointillism, impressionism, etc.

I found one program online called Nexmuse, that let me try some interesting styles for free, but was wondering what else was out there that I could check out as well. Once we find a style we like we would then have about 500 copies printed up into small 3" x 5" cards for stationery.

Will cross post this in the photography group too.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!

1. Photoshop Elements will do it - a lot of options.
