Akvis has released Akvis Sketch 10, an update of the software that converts photos to pencil and watercolor drawings. The new version is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”) and Windows 7.
Version 10 also has a new tool: Stroke Direction, which makes the effect of a hand-drawn sketch yet more realistic thanks to the ultimate control over the hatch direction. New presets have been added, the Preview Window improved and other features made available.
An Akvis Sketch Home License (plug-in or standalone) sells for US$72. Registered users of the previous versions can upgrade to version 9.0 for $39. Or you can buy the Alchemy Bundle (which includes the Sketch, Chameleon, Stamp, Retoucher, Coloriage, Noise Buster, Decorator, Enhancer, LightShop, SmartMask and ArtSuite plug-ins) for $325. For business licenses consult the Akvis web site.
One license key allows activating the software on two computers, for example, on a desktop and a laptop. Version 9.0 is a free upgrade for registered users. A demo is available for download.
