Workspace of the Plugin
To call the AKVIS Enhancer plugin, select it from the list of effects. To do this use the command Filter - AKVIS - Enhancer in Adobe Photoshop; the menu item Effects - Plugins - AKVIS - Enhancer if you work with Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro; or Effects - AKVIS - Enhancer if you use Corel PHOTO-PAINT.
AKVIS Enhancer program window looks like this:
Most of the AKVIS Enhancer plug-in's workspace is taken by the Image Window with two tabs: Before and After. In the Before tab the original image is shown, while in the After tab you can see the processed image.
It is possible to switch between the tabs using the Tab-key. You can also compare the original and the resulting images by just left-clicking on any point of the image.
In the upper part of the window you can see the Control panel with the progress bar, which shows the approximate processing time remaining, and the following controls:
Navigate and scale the image using the Navigator window. The frame shows the part of the image that is now visible in the Image Window.
Drag the red frame to view the required part of the image in the Image Window. To move the frame, put the cursor inside the frame, press the left mouse button, and keeping it pressed, drag the frame.
Also, you can scroll the image in the Image Window by pressing the space bar on the keyboard and by dragging the image with the left mouse button.
Use the buttons and
, as well as the slider to scale the image in the Image Window. By clicking on or by moving the slider to the right, you scale up the image; by clicking on or by moving the slider to the left, you scale down the image in the Image Window
It is also possible to enter a new scale coefficient into the appropriate field and press the button Enter (Return
on Macintosh).
You can also scale the image using hot-keys: + and Ctrl++ ( ++
on Macintosh) to scale up the image, - and Ctrl+- ( +-
on Macintosh) to scale down the image.
Under the Navigation window you can see the drop-down list used to select the mode of working and below the image processing parameters.
In the Presets field you can save favourite settings as a preset to use them in the future. When you launch the plugin, it uses the settings of the last used preset.
Also, under the Settings panel you can see hints: the description of the active parameter.
