Tutorial: AKVIS Coloriage

Expressive cat eyes

 

The example has been made by S.I Serikov in Adobe Photoshop.

You can use the AKVIS Coloriage plug-in to create original photos of animals.

For example, you can make the eyes of this cat more expressive by applying a brighter color. We will also make the cat's nose more rose.

    Original image Colorized image

Do as follows

  • Step 1. Open the original photo of the cat in your photo editing software.
  • a photo of a cat
  • Step 2. Call the AKVIS Coloriage plug-in.
  • Step 3. Outline both eyes with the Keep-Color Pencil (arrow 1), draw strokes inside the eyes with the Pencil tool (arrow 2). Put light grey points on the eye pupils (arrow 3).
  • Step 4. Outline the cat's nose with the Keep-Color Pencil (arrow 4). Draw two strokes within the outline with the Pencil tool (arrow 5) - you can select an appropriate color from the Color Library, from the special palette with the human skin colors. The vertical stroke does not reach the left border of the nose on purpose, since this will achieve a smoother color transition.
    Draw strokes to assign a new color to the eyes and the nose
  • Step 5. Start the colorization process by pressing the button Colorize . If you are not satisfied with the color of the eyes, you can go back to the Before tab and change the color using the Tube tool.

    Below are two versions of color correction of the cat's eyes and nose.

    the cat's eyes are yellow and its nose is more rose the cat's eyes are blue-green and its nose is more rose

    You can try different colors, even the most exotic ones.

    a bright blue color for the cats eyes a violet color for the cats eyes a bright green color for the cats eyes
  • Step 6. Apply the result to the picture by pressing the button Apply the colorization result.
