AKVIS
Sketch converts photos into pencil sketches and watercolor
paintings.
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.
Our efficient
method creates realistic color and B&W drawings that imitate the
technique of graphite and color pencil, charcoal and watercolor painting.
In contrast to
standard filters (like the built-in filters in Photoshop or PSP) that offer an
approximate sketch, AKVIS Sketch comes very close to the 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
can add background effects to the resulting pencil drawing. Create a blend of a
drawing and a photo; imitate motion or add a "time machine effect" by swirling
the background. Put an accent to certain parts of the image by blurring the rest
of it in an artistic way. It proves especially useful when the final drawing
contains too many details on the background that divert attention.
You can
personalize your work of art by adding an inscription (a signature or a
greeting) to your pencil drawing. Also, the parameters on the Canvas let you add
a rough surface to your image, as if it had been drawn on canvas, corrugated
paper, brick wall, etc.
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, or add/remove the
original colors.
The program can be
helpful to designers who need to quickly bring images to one style for a
web-site or an advertisement booklet. Authors create illustrations for their
books using AKVIS Sketch.
Home users will be
delighted by the neat result of the photo-to-sketch conversion. Using AKVIS
Sketch can be a lot of fun!
Make a pencil
portrait as a gift for your relatives and friends, a watercolor drawing obtained
from your last nature shooting can decorate your room, or you can convert any
photo to an original drawing to print on a T-Shirt.
This photo to
sketch software offers Batch Processing support that lets you
automatically convert a series of images. You can even create comics or cartoons
from your home videos in this way!
On the whole it's
a wonderful tool for those who have always wanted to draw but didn't know how.
The software is
available in two versions - as an independent program (standalone) and as a
plugin to a photo editor.
The plugin version
is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro,
etc. Refer to Check the compatibility page for more details.
