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.
