Version 9.0 adds the new Halftone effect which turns a photo into a halftone picture giving it a retro comic book look. The image is represented with dots in a specific pattern. This technique is widely used for creating outstanding designs and stylish posters and for screenprinting. You can adjust the pattern, the grid type, and other settings. The effect can use colors of the original image or "draw" the dots in the picture with a selected color.
Also, in the new version the list of the ready-to-use Presets has been added to the Effects.
First you can try AKVIS presets and then create your own exclusive variations.
Additionally, in both groups, Frames and Effects, it's possible to save a preset to a file and load it from the file using the buttons in the top panel.
AKVIS ArtSuite v.9.0 runs on Windows 7/Vista/XP and on Mac OS X 10.4-10.8, both 32- and 64-bit.
