Open a black and white photo in AKVIS Coloriage AI.
Here we have a photo of a lily.
We are going to colorize only the lily, that's why first we should use the Keep Color Pencil 
to draw a close outline around the flower.
Then select a lilac color from the Color palette and outline the petals of the lily with the Pencil tool 
. Select a reseda color for the stamens and draw a line within every stamen with the Pencil tool.
Start the colorization process by pressing the button 
. You will see the colorized lily in the After tab.
Now you can save the image and quit Coloriage AI… but wait, do not close the program window before you learn some tips that will help you to use AKVIS Coloriage AI efficiently.
First of all, you can save the strokes that you have drawn into a separate file. It is helpful when you want to edit the photo later, for example, if you have to interrupt your work before you have drawn the strokes for all objects. You can save the strokes by pressing the button 
and close the plug-in's window. When you later load this photo in AKVIS Coloriage AI, you can open the strokes for the photo with the button 
and continue working.
Secondly, you can change the color of the strokes with a mouse click. Just select a new color, activate the Tube tool 
in the Toolbar and click the stroke, the color of which you want to change.
If you want to recolor several strokes having one color, you can activate the Magic Tube 
and click one of such strokes - all the strokes having this color will be recolored.
Here we used the Magic Tube to recolor the lily's petals into yellow.
We pressed the button and got a yellow lily.
It's very easy to change the color of the flower, you try as many variants as you like, and all that - with a simple mouse click.
