AKVIS Coloriage for Mac
Editors' Review
A Photoshop plugin, AKVIS Coloriage for Mac helps you manipulate colors in images or add colors to black and white photos. It features natural-looking color additions that work not only for portraits but also for other types of photos.
Pros
Basic colorizing: With AKVIS Coloriage for Mac you don't have to worry about layers or the setting of borders for the parts you need to work on. This plugin automatically recognizes borders and gets it right most of the time. All you need to do is define areas or objects that you want colored with a pencil tool, select a color, and apply it.
Includes RAW processing: This app works well with RAW photos taken with Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and other cameras.
Cons
Not ideal for advanced users: While this app's plainness is an advantage for most users, it may seem too austere if you're used to working with layers and other sophisticated color editing techniques. Nevertheless, it can be conveniently used alongside other Photoshop tools, since it's a plugin.
Only compatible with Adobe Photoshop: This application works only with Adobe Photoshop v6-7, CS-CS5, CS6, Creative Cloud, and Elements. It's not compatible with Corel AfterShot Pro, Apple Aperture, GIMP, and other image or photo editors for Mac.
Bottom Line
AKVIS Coloriage for Mac can be a handy tool if you do occasional, basic photo editing through the Adobe Photoshop family of photo/image editors. If you want a quick way to add or modify colors in your photos, this is a good enough free tool to download.

Developer's Description
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.
AKVIS Coloriage creates natural-looking colorization in a quick and entertaining manner. It 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.
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 as easy to use as a coloring book. No layers manipulation, no complicated techniques, 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; the program does the rest of the work: recognizes the object's border and tailors the new color to the grayscale tones of the initial picture.
