July 23, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS Coloriage V.1.3, an innovative image processing software for quick colorizing of B&W photos and replacing colors on color photos.The name of the program reveals its main feature and an easy interface, which is as simple as a child’s coloring book ("coloriage" means a coloring book in French).
Operating as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and other image editors, AKVIS Coloriage requires no complicated techniques or special knowledge to achieve beautiful results, whether the task is delicate colorization of heirloom photographs or trying new color schemes on a photo of your home.
The plug-in is very easy to handle. After you mark areas of a photo with a virtual colored pencil, the program recognizes the borders of the area to be colorized and paints in the new color. Multiple areas of a photo can be treated at the same time, each with a different color.
The program’s extensive palette of basic colors, coupled with a specialized Color Library for refining the subtle tones for skin, hair, grass and other natural elements, ensure total flexibility in the choice of colors for photo enhancement. This method offers flawless and exciting colorization of every kind of photo, from portraits and landscapes to fashion and architectural photography.
