Save and Load Projects (AKVIS Files)
In AKVIS SmartMask AI, you can save a working draft of your project into a file with the .akvis extension. This file contains the original image, the state of the image at the moment it was saved, and manually created checkpoints added during your work. It will also contain the most recently used color sets for the Magic Brush and tools' parameters.
How to work with a project in AKVIS SmartMask AI:
-
Step 1. Use the program’s tools and periodically save the result of your work with checkpoints by pressing the Create Checkpoint
button in the History panel.
