AKVIS ArtWork is photo to painting software for Mac and Windows, it is designed to imitate different painting techniques and helps you to create a piece of art out of any digital photo.
AKVIS ArtWork is an ideal solution for your creative expression. Combining advanced technologies with an artistic approach, the new AKVIS creative suite is a perfect virtual artist.
Now AKVIS ArtWork offers three painting styles - Oil Painting, Comics, and Pen & Ink. In the future, the program will learn additional painting techniques: The Oil Painting effect converts your photographs into oil paintings. The program lays brush strokes naturally using the original photo as a reference; The Comics effect allows ArtWork users to replicate works of famous comics artists with just a few clicks. This effect reduces the tones of the photo to create an image similar to a poster or a cartoon. Make a comic strip from your party photos or create an original poster. The Pen & Ink effect creates drawings that appear to be made with ink on paper. The ink color as well as the color of the background can be changed.
The plug-in version of ArtWork offers Batch Processing support that allows you to create comics from home videos! ArtWork offers the choice between a flat background and a rough surface (canvas, paper, etc.) that makes the impression even more stunning. You can add a signature or an inscription to the picture with your own font and color.

You can print the final painting on a color printer, frame it or put it into a ready-made photo frame, or even add some real oil strokes to make the painting real. Create a greeting card or a poster, and you have a wonderful present for friends and family. No brushes or paints are required. Just get ArtWork and unleash your creativity.
• Young artists and art teachers can use ArtWork to improve painting skills. Those who generally focus too much on details can first simplify their images using ArtWork, then use the result as a reference to paint their own oil painting.
• The program is available in two versions - as an independent program (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor.
• The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro etc.
