Waiting for the reply... Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

As far as I know, MFC doesn't include image processing functions (except some basic GDI functions). So you will need to use an image processing library, or implement everything on your own.

Answer 2

see CXImage from CodeProject link text

Answer 3

How did you do the artistic effect?

Its probably just some form of convolution applied to the image. If so this post may help:
