Try to colorize a photo from the tutorial (using .strokes file) While coloring an image in the program AKVIS Coloriage, periodically save your strokes to a file, so that you do not have to repeat your work from the beginning, if for some reason you are interrupted.
To save strokes, click on  and in the Save strokes dialog window choose a folder and file name. Later you can load the strokes from this file and continue working with the image.
In case of some unexpected event (such as a power loss, etc.) the program will autosave strokes (during image processing) to the file autosave.strokes.
Saving strokes is also a way to share your tips for using the program with others.
We offer you a photo to colorize from one of our tutorials using half-finished jobs.
- Step 1. Download an archive that contains the original image and a file with strokes and unpack it.
- Step 2. Open the original image from the unpacked archive.
- Step 3. Press the button
 . In the Open dialog box find the unpacked folder and select the file with the extension strokes, then press the button Open.
- Step 4. Press the button
 and the result of the colorization will be shown in the After tab.
- Step 5. You can change the colors of the image. For this purpose go to the Before tab and use the Tube
 or the Magic Tube  to change the color of the strokes. The Tube changes the color of one stroke, the Magic Tube changes the color of all strokes having one color.
Press the button again.
Attention! The strokes in the archive correspond to the dimensions of the initial image (width x height). If you change the dimensions of the original image, the file with the strokes will not fit the image.
