AKVIS Sketch Editor's Review
By
Jim Curry
Jim Curry writes with passion about best-of-breed software products, with a particular focus on the world of freeware.
If you've ever wished you could draw, paint or sketch some of the pictures you see through the viewfinder on your camera, AKVIS Sketch is the easy way to achieve your artistic aspirations and produce amazingly slick results in a very short space of time.
A quick download gets you a 27Mb install file full of the good stuff, and a simple, no-nonsense installation takes you straight to a simple, twin-tabbed view screen showing before and after views, next to a tools screen with effects sliders displaying your changes in real time.
I loved the innovative look of the interface - sleek and intuitive, and so simple, a child could use it. And the results are fantastic - for anyone who's ever been frustrated by the poor results of the default 'pencil-drawing' effects on other paint packages, AKVIS Sketch will truly amaze you with the authenticity of its output.
But AKVIS Sketch isn't just limited to home users, not by a long shot: with professional-grade drawing tools including graphite pencil, charcoal and watercolor, and a powerful effects palette including canvas surfaces ranging from corrugated paper to brick and more, hatching density and pitch, and edge intensification, AKVIS Sketch is a key tool for commercial artists and studios too, and takes a well-earned pride of place in AKVIS's extensive catalog of professional drawing and graphics applications.
Shipping either as a standalone application for Windows or Mac, AKVIS Sketch also caters for the professional graphics designer as an effects plugin, compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro and other industry-standard graphics editors. The plugin version also boasts awesome batch processing support for power users.
Whether you're a professional artist looking for new ways to generate creatives for a brief, or you just want to have some fun seeing how that old photo of Gramps comes out as a watercolor, AKVIS Sketch is highly enjoyable, eminently usable, and terrific value all round.

AKVIS Sketch Author's Description
AKVIS Sketch is photo to sketch conversion software. It turns photos into pencil sketches and watercolor paintings. AKVIS Sketch lets you create realistic color and B&W drawings, it imitates the technique of graphite and color pencil, charcoal and watercolor painting.
The program is available in two versions: as an independent program (standalone) and as a plugin to a photo editor. 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.
You will be delighted by the neat result of the photo to sketch conversion. Using the program 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. The program helps you when you need to quickly bring images to one style for a website or an advertisement booklet.
AKVIS Sketch comes very close to the hand-drawn works of a human artist.
On the whole it's a wonderful tool for those who have always wanted to draw but didn't know how.
