Press Release Body = AKVIS Coloriage adds color to black and white photos with the same ease with which a child paints images in a coloring book (\"coloriage\" means a coloring book in French). The colorizing technique is easy: you take the Pencil tool, select a color and draw a rough outline within the area to be colorized; the program recognizes the borders of the area and paints in the new color keeping the tone transitions. No layers manipulation, no manual painting!
The list of the tool\'s uses is practically endless. Home users can apply it to colorize old B&W photos from the family archives, for example, to make a present to the grandma by adding color to her early days\' photos. Professional designers can use AKVIS Coloriage to try different color schemes for interior and exterior design, as the program allows changing the color of objects with a mouse click. Anime and manga enthusiasts can apply the program to add color to hand sketch drawings and comics.
The software does not only colorize B&W photos, the available Keep-Color tool makes it possible to replace colors only in defined areas of the picture. Thus, you can recolor clothes on your color photo or change the color of the hair, eyes, etc on a portrait. Selective desaturation and selective colorization of a color photo is made easy.
