AKVIS Explosion

There are countless photo editing applications to choose from out there, and your imagination is the only guide you need in finding the most suitable utility for you. If you want to add truly special effects to your images, you can take AKVIS Explosion for a spin.

The interface of the app might appear a little bit overwhelming to a beginner, but you can simply drag and drop an image onto the main window, choose the type of effect you are interested in (Dust or Particles), and start toying around with the parameters.

Each variable affects your graphic file in a specific way, and the only way to assess its impact is to apply it, preview the result then, if satisfied, save it to JPEG, PNG, BMP or TIFF.

As previously mentioned, you get a lot of options to alter, such as angle, dispersion, particles opacity or smoke blur. Once you have also selected an image region to apply the modifications, you can apply it and preview the outcome.

If you do not feel confident enough to dive in and start altering all the parameters, you can choose the Express option and the available options are cut down to a minimum. The Advanced mode is suitable for experts who know exactly the adjustments that need to be made to come up with amazing explosion effects.

A useful feature of AKVIS Explosion is its integration with several graphic editors, meaning you can enjoy its functions as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop, Serif Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, PhotoLine and so on.

Thankfully, AKVIS Explosion comes with numerous presets meant to help you fully appreciate the functions of the utility, so they are great starting points in discovering the wide range of pulverizing or dispersion effects it supports.
