Turn Your Photos into Oil Paintings with AKVIS OilPaint 3.0
May 12, 2014 — AKVIS announces the release of AKVIS OilPaint v.3.0 for Windows and Mac. The software lets users create oil paintings out of photos. Version 3.0 brings many improvements.
AKVIS OilPaint turns your photographs into oil paintings. The mysterious production of a painting happens right before your eyes. The unique algorithm authentically reproduces the technique of the real brush creating a work of art that looks like a handmade oil painting.
AKVIS OilPaint lets you feel like an artist! Even if you are not a professional painter you can create your own masterpiece.
This program is straightforward and simple; it offers a number of ready to use presets that helps to start working. It lets you personalize your picture by adding a signature of an artist, a title, or a greeting. To make the painting even more realistic you can adjust the canvas. The batch processing support makes it possible to automatically convert a series of images with the same effect settings.
This artistic software is available for both Windows and Mac users, as a standalone program and as a plugin filter for Adobe Photoshop and other image editors.
Version 3.0 provides new features and enhanced functionality.
It is a free update for all OilPaint customers.
New in OilPaint 3.0:
- New effect parameter - Extra Strokes. It helps to refine the picture making it more accurate and smooth (high values), or on the contrary, to keep rough wide brush strokes (low values).
- New Flat Brush option for the Oil Brush for changing the shape of the edges of the brush strokes.
- Brand new 3D Brush that lets you bring volume and relief to your painting. This state-of-the-art tool draws prominent strokes without changing colors.
Note that the post-processing tools are only available under the Deluxe/Business licenses, on the After tab. Use them at the final step to improve the oil effect and add a handmade touch to your painting.
- Also, in the standalone version, the list of supported RAW files has been extended with new cameras.
- Some minor bugs have been fixed.
