Most of the time I use it in conjunction with Impressionist, SnapArt, Virtual Painter, Paint Engine, and/or Corel Painter. For me it’s just another tool in the toolbox. No kidding.ĪrtWork is not the answer to everyone’s oil painting-look needs. BUT the more I used it, the MORE I LIKED IT.
I’ll be honest: When I first tried ArtWork I was not impressed. I highly prefer the output of ArtWork over “oil painting” effects rendered by SnapArt and Virtual Painter. Like Akvis Sketch I expect over time Artwork will be upgraded to include additional functionality. This is a specialty plug-in: version 1.0 only had the ability to render an “oil painting” look. ( Danny Raphael, Moderator – Photo-art Forum,, 2/2009) Moreover, the tool allows you to post them to various cloud services. So, when the transformations look as expected, you can export the results to JPG, PNG, BMP or TIFF. Likewise, there is a smudge tool that you can use to retouch the images.įortunately, there is the opportunity to preview it in real time in a before-after fashion. In this respect, it is possible to adjust stroke intensity, density, sharpen, blurring option and saturation. There are also various preset options but you can tweak them to get the picture look as you want it to. These include oil, watercolor, pen and ink, comics, linocut, gouache, and pastel. The results depend primarily on the type of painting techniques you choose. One of the advantages of AKVIS Artwork is that it allows processing batches of images in a single operation, which definitely saves a lot of time and effort. It can also be used as a plugin for other photo editors and, in such case, the look will depend on that of the host program.ĪKVIS ArtWork allows importing many of the picture formats, including not only the most commonly used, like JPG, TIFF, and PNG but also more specific ones, such as CRW, RAW, ORF, NEF, NNG, among others. It is also rather easy to use and provides helpful information as to the use of each of the elements. The program´s interface is very similar to those of other products by the same developer.
