AKVIS Coloriage manipulates colors of an image. It allows colorizing old black and white photos and replacing colors in color photos. It creates natural looking colorization. The program works equally well for coloring of portraits, landscapes, fashion, and still life. The skin, sky, verdure, and tree color patterns help users to select realistic colors for their picture. Breathe life into your black and white photos! Make a present for your grandmother by adding color to her school photo, replace the colors of your car to see how it would look in scarlet, see how you will look if you dye your hair red. The program is as easy to use as a coloring book. No more hours of frustration attempting to get just the look you want - everything is done with a few brush strokes. Indicate the desired colors by the stroke of the brush, Coloriage does the rest of the work: recognizes the object's border and tailors the new color to the grayscale tones of the initial picture. Apply your creativity and you will find a wide variety of other usages for the software. You can create colorful backgrounds out of ordinary dull pictures, you can apply AKVIS Coloriage to get rid of the red eye effect, to make selective color correction, selective desaturation and colorizing, etc. AKVIS Coloriage is available in two versions - as a standlaone program and as a plugin to a photo editor.
