AKVIS plugins give one a fantastic opportunity to get a phenomenal mixture of art and photography multiplied by the power of the computer and the intelligence of software. For my first experience with AKVIS I choose the AKVIS Sketch and AKVIS ArtWork plug-ins. Everything is so quick and easy. Keep up your excellent work!

• Step 1. Open original image in photo editor with the command File -> Open.
  
  Original photo
• Step 2. Call the AKVIS Sketch plugin using the menu item Filter -> AKVIS -> Sketch.
  
  Workspace of AKVIS Sketch
• Step 3. A sample of the image processed with the current preset will be shown in the Preview Window. Adjust the values of the Sketch parameters in the Settings Panel to achieve the desired result on the flower. We are not interested in how the background looks at this stage.
  
  Settings
• Step 4. Click on the button to start the process. The result will be shown in the After tab.
• Step 5. To use a blur effect for the background, click on the Background tab, choose Sketch & Blur mode from the drop-down menu, the Drawing on Blur processing order, and blur method Radial Zoom.

  Use the blue pencil (Effect Area Tool) to mark areas in the image that will remain unchanged. Use the green pencil (Blur Area Tool) to indicate the area to be blurred. Click on the button to process the photo with the new settings.
