AKVIS Stamp 2.0 Digital Image Retouching Has Become More Fun Than Work!

AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS Stamp V.2.0. New to the version: support of 16 bits per channel.

AKVIS Stamp is an intelligent cloning tool. The application helps users of any level of computer competence to seamlessly remove image defects and clone objects with a minimum of efforts.
Unlike common cloning tools, AKVIS Stamp boasts automatic adjusting of the "patches" to the color range, texture and brightness of the target background. Thanks to that, you can easily remove face imperfections (wrinkles, freckles, pimples) and even objects that spoil a photo – like waste bins, wires, street signs).

The unique Edit Mode allows you to clone large fragments. It will not fuse the cloned area with the background until the Edit Mode is deactivated, allowing multiple revisions such as changing the size of the stamp, indicating another source for cloning, making clones out of different parts of the image, and otherwise editing the cloned area before making the changes permanent. When all the details of a retouch are complete, the user switches off the Edit Mode, and all the cloned areas are flawlessly integrated. Demonstrations of AKVIS Stamp’s features are available at http://akvis.com/en/stamp-tutorial/index.php.

The new version of AKVIS Stamp supports 16 bits per channel. It allows you to process images without losses in quality. With 16 bit you get more in-between colors and tones and the result is smoother. It is especially important if you prepare photos for printing.

Users of the newer releases of Adobe Photoshop have Healing Brush at their disposal, but AKVIS Stamp with its unique Edit Mode adds a superior healing tool to Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Ulead PhotoImpact, ACD FotoCanvas and Picture Publisher Pro, etc. For users of earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (V.5 and 6) it will also be a useful add-on. AKVIS Stamp runs on Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/NT.

AKVIS Stamp sells for $49.00 USD, but is also available as part of the AKVIS Restoration Bundle, packaged with AKVIS Retoucher, an $87.00 USD value. AKVIS Restoration Bundle sells for only $109.00 USD, saving $27.00 USD over buying each plug-in separately.

For a free trial, AKVIS offers 10 days to play with the fully functional program. Details at http://akvis.com/en/stamp/download-image-healing.php .
