TIPS
Try This!
Similar to Sketch, AKVIS Artwork
turns a photo into a painting with
minimal effort and still produces a
creative rendering. The sliders and
settings let you select the style of
paint and thickness of brush
strokes to make your painting
look as though it were done with
natural media.
Did You Know?
AKVIS and other plugin
software companies
not only have examples
of the plug-in effects
on their respective
websites, they also
have complete tutorials
for their products.
More Options!
Selecting areas and masking are often
easier to accomplish with a masking plug-in
from one of the software companies. Using
technology similar to that of Coloriage, you
draw over areas to keep with a blue pencil
and then draw with a red pencil to define
the areas that should be cut away. The
software finds the borders and removes the
unwanted areas in the photo.
