Publisher's Description
From AKVIS:
AKVIS Sketch is an award-winning program for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor drawings. Make any photo look like a B&W or color drawing, imitate the technique of graphite or color pencil, charcoal or watercolor painting. The program works in an entertaining way. It allows observing the conversion of a photo into a drawing/watercolor in real time and even interrupting the process when the required result is achieved. Some special effects included in the program can convert an ordinary photo into a piece of art. Create a blend of a drawing and a photo; imitate motion or add "time machine effect" by swirling the background. Put an accent to certain parts of the image by blurring the rest of it in an artistic way. It proves especially useful when the final drawing contains too many details on the background that divert attention. Many photo editing enthusiasts have already appreciated the Sketch's features.
What's new in this version: Version 13.0 has added 26 presets to the new style and the preview images for the old and new AKVIS presets, new color scheme of the Hints Panel, and improved the Pastel preset in Classic style.
