Akvis announces AKVIS ArtWork v.6.0

AKVIS ArtWork v.6.0

AKVIS ArtWork is a perfect virtual artist designed to imitate different painting techniques. You can create a piece of art out of any digital photo: an oil portrait of your friend, a landscape watercolor painting, a funny poster with your dog or even an impressive linocut print to decorate your bedroom. The transformation of a digital photo into a painting happens before your very eyes, so you can follow the birth of a work of art in real time!

In Version 6.0:
New painting style - Pastel - which bridges the gap between painting and drawing. The pastel sticks or pencils form soft velvety strokes with subtle edges which can be smeared with your fingers. A distinctive feature of the pastel technique is the "glimmer" of colors in the form of small specks. Unlike paints, pastels don't cover the whole surface. The small gaps left uncovered let the background paper color show through the strokes and increase the general color effect of the painting.

The Pastel effect comes with nine ready-to-use presets which will help you create pastel drawings in a variety of styles: from sketches made with short strokes (as if with a thin pastel pencil) to drawing made with soft delicate strokes. The presets can be applied "as is" or be modified. You can also use the Stroke Direction tool to add your own creative touch by changing the direction of the strokes and the Smudge tool to improve your result by manually refining irregularities after processing.
Attention: the Pastel style is only available under Home Deluxe and Business licenses. Please consult the comparison table for more details about the license types.

  • New color scheme of the Hints Panel: a white font on a gray background. If you prefer the old style (a navy/black font on a yellow background), you can change the Hints Panel mode in the Preferences.
  • Added Batch Processing to the standalone version (formerly was available only in the plugin, as a Photoshop action).

Batch processing is useful when dealing with a lot of photos. For example, you can create cartoons from your home videos.

  • Added support for RAW files (CRW, CR2, NEF, ARW, RW2, PEF, etc. - see the full list here).
  • Added the possibility to use the OS File dialog for loading and saving files.
  • Improved compatibility with Mac OS X Lion.
