AKVIS Coloriage

Today’s technology allows you to recondition images and videos to such an extent that even their original quality can be put to shame. Many people, however, imagine that the tools employed for such a task are inaccessible to the average John.

A software utility such as AKVIS Coloriage is here to prove them wrong since it can breathe new life into your black-and-white pictures by inserting a tint of color into whatever object they depict.

First of all, it should be pointed out that the application is addressed at all users alike, with the GUI being home to a basic set of tools that let you get your work done without a hassle.

You first need to add the picture you want to process, with the supported file formats being JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIF, and TIFF. The next step consists of indicating the object you want to colorize, for which you need to turn to the pencil placed in the vertical toolbar on the left.

You simply need to draw the object’s contour, then explore your options as far as the color palette is concerned. Needless to say, they are unlimited, with the Color Library being of assistance in this regard. The Color, Swatches, and Multicolor features are also there to help your visual experiments.

There are a series of tips you may want to know as to how to obtain the best results possible. For instance, if the object whose color you want to change is comprised of a multitude of details, it’s best that you outline it and its inner areas using multiple strokes.

As for how to get a nice, smooth transition effect, all you need to do is draw strokes rather far apart from each other.

AKVIS Coloriage is a fun program overhauling pictures whose colors are rather dull. The app can add color to black-and-white photos, swat color, highlight objects, and more, with the effects it obtains being natural and professional looking, so if you are into visual experiments, you may want to take the program for a spin.
