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 quick and 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 batch mode support 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 Sketch is a plug-in.
It works with image processing programs that support plugins. It is
compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc)
Paint Shop pro, etc.
