Tutorial: AKVIS Watercolor

Watercolor Effect Presets

AKVIS Watercolor includes a number of ready-to-use Presets which help you start working and create amazing artworks with the watercolor technique.

When moving a cursor over a preset in the drop-down list, above the settings, the quick result appears in the small window near the list.

A preset contains the settings for all tabs (Painting/Abstract Art/Decoration).

The AKVIS presets marked with * (for example, AKVIS Blossom*) use the Abstract Art parameters available only for the Deluxe/Business licenses. In the Home version, these additional effects will not be applied, such presets will use with only Painting and Decoration settings.

To create a preset, adjust the settings, type a name into the field, and press Save.

To return to the default settings of the selected preset, press Reset.

To delete a user preset, choose it from the list and press Delete.

The AKVIS built-in presets cannot be removed.

Next to the preset name field there is a heart icon. Click it to add the selected preset to Favorites or to remove it from this group of presets.
