AKVIS Sketch is software for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor drawings. Surprise your friends with realistic color and B&W drawings that imitate the technique of graphite and color pencil, charcoal and watercolor.

Now you do not need to handle a pencil to feel like an artist. All you need to create your original work of art is good taste and AKVIS Sketch.

AKVIS Sketch provides a convincing result and comes very close to hand-drawn works of a human artist. Getting a similar result with the standard tools would require expertise in image editing and extensive manipulation with layers, masks, brushes and applying filters.
AKVIS Sketch has a neat interface with a few sliders. At first you can process the image with the default settings and then touch up the photo adding color, or trying different techniques - from pencil to charcoal or watercolor. You can make the hatching denser or finer and change the pitch angle of strokes. It is possible to save settings as presets for future use.

Home users will be delighted by the neat result of the photo-to-sketch conversion. AKVIS Sketch can bring much fun: a pencil portrait can be a good present for your relatives and friends, a watercolor drawing obtained from your last nature shooting can decorate your room.

The program can be helpful to designers who need to quickly bring images to one style for a web-site or an advertisement booklet.

The program is available in two versions - as a standalone application and as a plug-in to a photo editor.

The batch mode support (only for the plug-in version) allows you to automatically convert a series of images. Just create an Action in Photoshop or Script in paint Shop rpo and apply the plug-in with the same settings to a folder full of images. You can even create comics from home videos in this way!

AKVIS Noise Buster is software for noise suppression on digital and scanned images.
Digital cameras opened the door to easy and entertaining photography. However, consumer digital cameras also have their drawbacks: they often produce the so-called digital noise. It can be seen as grains that compromise the smoothness of the photo. It is especially annoying on the skin as it makes it uneven. This kind of noise is called luminance noise. There can also be chroma (color) noise which is perceived as random red and blue pixels spoiling the color accuracy of the snap-shot.
Digital noise can be produced by a number of factors: heating of the camera sensor, long exposure shooting, small pixel size (therefore digital compact cameras generate much noisier images than digital SLRs), high ISO settings, etc.
AKVIS Noise Buster reduces both luminance and color noise on digital images without spoiling other aspects of the photo. Now your photos look neat and accomplished.
There is an option of automatic filtering based on the analysis of the overall image noise. If not quite satisfied, you can tweak the parameters observing the changes in real time in the preview window.
The program's window shows Before and After images for instant preview and easy tweaking of the parameters. You can switch between the windows with a click on the image. Separate setting areas for luminance and chroma noise allow you to deal with each kind of noise in the most efficient way. For further adjustment you have a few advanced parameters at your disposal.
The histogram displaying the noise level and noise components of the loaded image will help you to adjust settings.
AKVIS Noise Buster is available in two editions: as an independent application (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor: Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop pro, etc.
The plugin supports Batch Processing that allows applying the same settings to a folder full of images.

AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that detects detail in underexposed, overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo. You can improve detail on a single shot or use the HDRI mode to create an HDR image out of a series of shots.

The tool is extremely useful when a photo lacks detail. For example, when a picture has been taken with the background overexposed, the foreground is hardly discernible (especially annoying when it's a picture of a person.) Or, the background of a picture might be so washed out that you wonder what the scenery was like. If you try to reveal details in highlighted or overshadowed areas using exposure correction (e.g. levels) you run the risk of spoiling the parts of the image that you want unchanged.

The idea of Enhancer is entirely different. AKVIS Enhancer brings out details by intensifying color transition. It means that Enhancer strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels that have different color gradations and therefore reveals not only the details in the shadow but even the details in the overexposed areas and mid-tones.

AKVIS Enhancer is useful not only for correction of family and art photos, but can be effective as well in technical use. Publishers of technical literature can apply Enhancer to show equipment illustrations in detail; doctors can use Enhancer to increase the level of detail on roentgenograms, etc.

The stand-alone version of Enhancer supports HDRI. HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) is a technology that expands the dynamic range of an image and shows details in both shadows and highlights.

The plug-in version of Enhancer supports Photoshop batch processing that allows applying the same settings to a series of images. The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Corel Painter, Ulead Photo-Impact, etc.

AKVIS Stamp is a photo retouching tool for seamless defects removal and objects cloning. AKVIS Stamp allows enhancing portraits (as it brilliantly removes wrinkles, scars, scratches, porous skin) and retouching of different image flaws (stains, dust, scratches). Unlike common clone tools, Stamp boasts automatic adjusting of the "patches" to the color range, texture and brightness of the target background.
The stamp tool is similar to the Healing Brush, which first appeared in the 7th version of Adobe Photoshop and remained unique up to this day. Now the healing tool is available for users of other photo editing software, as AKVIS Stamp works under Jasc Paint Shop Pro and Corel Photo-Paint. The tool can be helpful to the users that stick to Adobe Photoshop of earlier versions (v5, 6) and Photoshop Elements.

AKVIS presents the cutting edge technology of automatic photo colorization.

AKVIS Coloriage is as easy to use as a coloring book. No layers manipulation, no complicated techniques. To colorize a black and white photo it suffices to indicate the desired colors by the stroke of the brush; the program does the rest of the work - recognizes the object's border and tailors the new color to the grayscale tones of the initial picture.

You can colorize old black and white photos from your family archive, replace colors in your color photos or achieve artistic efffects by making partial colorization or selective desaturation.

Make a present for your grandmother by adding color to her school photo, replace the colors of your car to see how it would look in scarlet, see how you will look if you dye your hair red.

AKVIS Coloriage creates natural-looking colorization in a quick and entertaining manner. It works equally well for coloring of portraits, landscapes, fashion, and still life. The skin, sky, verdure, and tree color patterns help users to select realistic colors for their picture.

Use AKVIS Coloriage for the following purposes:
-add color to black and white photos;
-add color to hand sketch drawings (for example, manga drawings and comics);
-replace colors on a color photo;
-try different color schemes for interior and exterior design;
-selective desaturation and selective colorization of areas on a color photo.

Apply your creativity and you will find a wide variety of other usages for the software.

The program is available in two versions - as an independent program (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor. The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, Photo Paint, PhotoImpact and other popular editors.

AKVIS Chameleon is an efficient tool for photo collage creation. This ingenious software makes the process easy and entertaining. Earlier one had to thoroughly select an object for pasting into a new background; with this software this tedious part of work drops out. You can concentrate on the creative part and forget about complicated selection techniques.

The software has three modes:
* Montage. In this mode the program combines images to create a seamless photo montage. It transfers selected objects to a new background and makes the irrelevant parts of the pasted fragment fade away. The object does not change its color range or opacity. This mode is good to use for creating photo collages with people.
* Chameleon. In this mode the program adjusts the inserted object to the target image color range and smoothes the object's borders. It looks similar to the way a chameleon adapts to the environment.
* Blend Mode. In this mode the program does not only smoothes the borders of the inserted object and adjusts its color range, but it also makes the object semi-transparent, so that the texture and the relief of the primary image can be seen through. Use this mode if you want to "dissolve" the inserted image in the background.

The tool is very easy to handle as it does not require precise selection of objects.

You can use AKVIS Chameleon in many ways. You can create customized postcards for your loved ones; make a wedding album using all kinds of photos and backgrounds; correct closed eyes (by implanting open eyes from another photo of the series), change the appearance of a person, etc.

Designers will appreciate this tool as it allows them to combine images with entirely different color ranges, to create the effect of drawing on a texture surface (crumpled paper, wood, etc), and all that with only a mouse-click.

AKVIS Chameleon plug-in is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro, Ulead Photo Impact, etc.
