AKVIS Coloriage 6
AKVIS Software has released Coloriage 6, the latest version of its black-and-white photo coloring tool. A manual correction brush has been added, and EXIF or IPTC data formats are now supported. To add color, the user selects a hue from the palette and draws a rough outline within the area to be colored. Coloriage automatically detects the borders and adds color while preserving the tone graduation.
Should any details need to be manually corrected, the Recolor Brush is used to color specific parts of the photo. EXIF and IPTC information is not lost when the pictures are transformed. Color pictures can also be selectively desaturated, leaving certain parts in color and other sections reduced to black-and-white.
Other uses for Coloriage include coloring hand drawings or previewing different color themes for interior design. Coloriage 6 for Mac or Windows is available from AKVIS starting at $100, as a stand-alone program or Photoshop plug-in.
