SmartSound SonicFire Pro v5.1.1 Scoring Network Edition
Mac App | 220mb | Rs,Hf
Experience the creative power of turning the best library music into a fully-customized music score. Sonicfire Pro 5 Scoring Edition offers the most innovative set of features for adding high-impact music to any type of project. Its familiar timeline interface and intuitive access to SmartSound’s patented music editing features make it immediately rewarding for video and audio editors alike.

Features:

Scoring Edition features a familiar multitrack timeline interface that includes unique SmartSound features that add new levels of creative control. A video window is also available for you to synchronize the music precisely to your video sequence.

Make SmartSound’s Multi-Layer Music adapt to the changing moods of your production. Mood Mapping makes it easy for you to control up to 9 different instrument layers from a single track on the timeline.

SmartSound has been relentless in providing solutions to overcome the limitations of traditional library music by empowering a new level of creativity through technological innovation. Sonicfire Pro 5’s Timing Control features are the biggest new innovation in customizing library music. Now you can adjust when the section changes occur in a track or move a perfect musical beat to match an event in your video. Simply select the “Timing Control” option and these new controls are at your fingertips.

Beat Alignment
When working with music and picture, you will inevitably need to emphasize an event or transition with a distinct musical change. With Sonicfire Pro 5’s new beat alignment capability, you can now grab a beat and move it to align perfectly with the events in your picture.

With “Snap to Beat” enabled, your new change will be in rhythm and the total lengh of the track will be automatically preserved.

The new Spotting feature of Sonicfire Pro 5 lets you set the important music markers along any imported video sequence. Mark the music in and out points and also mark key events in your scene that need support of a well-timed change in the music. Once you’ve set your markers, the Spotting tool will turn your visual cues into a list of music search results that are ideally suited for the duration and pacing of your markers.

Smart Recall is another great innovation from SmartSound. Every music file created by Sonicfire Pro works as a standard audio file in all of your media applications, but it also retains full customization control. If you wanted to change the length or adjust the mix of any other library music, it would be nearly impossible. With Smart Recall, your music files will open in Sonicfire Pro with the settings that were used to create the file. Make some quick adjustments to the length, variation or mix and update the original or save a copy with your new settings.

AKVIS Decorator 1.6

2009-07-21T06:36:00.000-07:00

AKVIS Decorator 1.6
Mac App | 43mb | Rs,Hf
Have you ever seen a car made of brick? A statue dressed in fine clothes? With AKVIS Decorator you can create things that were unimaginable even to Mother Nature. The Decorator plug-in allows you to change the surface of an object in a realistic manner.

Features:

Select a part of an image – a dress on a girl, a car, a piece of furniture, etc, and apply new textures to it. The girl can have her dress painted in gay patterns, dotted or chequered, appear as if made of velvet or satin, or even of wood or candies. There is a great variety of built-in patterns to apply - from fabrics to stones and metal, from food to nature elements.

You can apply your own textures – just save a square pattern as a jpg file and load it into the library.

Unlike the "bucket-fill" tool in many photo editors, the plug-in follows the underlying features of the object, the texture that already exists, and makes the new color or texture look natural.

Applying a snake scale to a car’s surface can be fun, but of more practical use is to apply AKVIS Decorator for design purposes.
With this software you can quickly choose a suitable design for your apartment by playing with different colors and patterns for furniture, walls, curtains, decorations, etc. It’s useful for designers to show the customers the same room in different versions or for web-designers to represent the same items in an online shop (china-ware, blankets, clothes, piece of furniture, etc) in different colors/patterns.

By AKVIS tradition, the program has a simple interface, easy grasped even for newbies. In the plug-in’s window you go to the Texture tab and select a texture from the library (you can adjust its color and frequency of the pattern), press the Run button and get a wonderful result. If needed, you can adjust the brightness and the angle of lighting.
If all you need is just to change the color of the surface, then you go to the Color tab and choose a new color.

The program applies a texture/color preserving the volume of an object, following its folds and creases. The new pattern looks absolutely natural and makes you see things differently.

AKVIS Decorator integrates into the image processing programs installed on your computer. The plug-in is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro, etc.

AKVIS Sketch 8.6 Mac

2009-07-21T06:35:00.001-07:00

AKVIS Sketch 8.6 Mac
Mac App | 59mb | Rs,Hf
AKVIS Sketch is software for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor paintings. Now you do not need to handle a pencil to feel like an artist. All you need to create your original work of art is good taste and AKVIS Sketch. Our efficient method allows creating realistic color and B&W drawings that imitate the technique of graphite and color pencil, charcoal and watercolor painting. In contrast to the standard filters (like the built-in filters in Photoshop or PSP) that offer an approximate sketch, AKVIS Sketch comes very close to hand-drawn works of a human artist. Getting a similar result with the standard tools would require expertise in image editing and extensive manipulation with layers, masks, brushes and applying filters.

Features:

AKVIS Sketch allows adding background effects to the resulting pencil drawing. Create a blend of a drawing and a photo; imitate motion or add “time machine effect” by swirling the background. Put an accent to certain parts of the image by blurring the rest of it in an artistic way. It proves especially useful when the final drawing contains too many details on the background that divert attention.

You can personalize your work of art by adding an inscription (a signature or a greeting) to your pencil drawing. Besides, the parameters on the Canvas tab allow adding a rough surface to your image, as if it has been drawn on canvas, corrugated paper, brick wall, etc.

AKVIS Sketch has a neat interface with a few sliders. At first you can process the image with the default settings and then touch up the photo adding color, or trying different techniques - from pencil to charcoal or watercolor. You can make the hatching denser or finer and change the pitch angle of strokes, add/remove the original colors.

Home users will be delighted by the neat result of the photo-to-sketch conversion. AKVIS Sketch can bring a lot of fun: a pencil portrait can be a good present for your relatives and friends, a watercolor drawing obtained from your last nature shooting can decorate your room, you can convert any photo to an original drawing to print on a T-Shirt.

The program can be helpful to designers who need to quickly bring images to one style for a web-site or an advertisement booklet.
On the whole it's a wonderful tool for those who have always wanted to draw but didn't know how.

The program is available in two versions – as an independent program (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor.

The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro etc.
Refer to Check the compatibility page for more details.

The plug-in version of Sketch offers Batch Processing support that allows you to automatically convert a series of images. Just create an Action in Photoshop or a Script in Corel Paint Shop Pro and apply the plug-in with the same settings to a folder full of images. You can even create comics from home videos in this way!

AKVIS Enhancer 9.5

2009-07-21T06:32:00.000-07:00

AKVIS Enhancer 9.5
Mac App | 32mb | Rs,Hf
If you take a photo of a black cat in a dark room the result can be far from ideal. Or if you make a photo of a beautiful view but the automatic settings focus on the sky and the shot comes out with uneven exposure - the sky is beautiful but the scenery is underexposed and one can hardly understand what is going on. With the standard tools of exposure correction you run the risk of spoiling the parts of the image that were good. But AKVIS Enhancer offers an individual approach to every part of the photo. AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that improves detail on an image, no matter what was the cause of the unsharpness. The program detects detail in underexposed, overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo with uneven exposure. It brings into focus blurred images. Starting with version 7.0, the program supports HDRI technology.

Features:

AKVIS Enhancer works in three modes: Enhancer, Focus, and HDRI. In the Enhancer and Focus modes you can improve a picture using one single shot; in the HDR mode you need a series of shots, but the result is impressive.

* In Enhancer mode the program brings out details on one single shot by intensifying color transition. It means that Enhancer strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels having different color gradations and therefore allows revealing not only details in the shadow but even details in the overexposed and mid tone areas.
* In Focus mode the program improves sharpness of blurred images. It happens when the camera fails to focus on the subject and it comes out unsharp. This mode can save such out-of-focus images. You can refocus the whole image or bring only certain a element of the image into focus.
* In HDR mode (only in Standalone version) the program combines a series of images to get one HDR picture. This technology expands the dynamic range of an image and shows details in both shadows and highlights. Read more about HDRI.

The Enhancer and HDR modes are useful in cases when a photo has an uneven exposure. For example, when a picture has been taken with the background overexposed and consequently the foreground is hardly discernible, which is especially annoying when you take a picture of a person; or when a photo lacks dramatic effect due to vagueness of the scene.

The tool is useful not only for correction of family and art photos, but can be effective as well in technical use. Publishers of technical literature can apply Enhancer to show equipment illustrations in detail; doctors can use Enhancer to increase the level of detail on roentgenograms, etc.

The program is available in two versions – as an independent program (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor.

The Batch mode support available in the plug-in version allows you to automatically process a series of images. Just create an Action in Photoshop and apply the plug-in with the same settings to a folder full of images. It saves you time!

The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro etc.

AKVIS Retoucher 3.5
Mac App | 22mb | Rs,Hf
AKVIS Retoucher is an efficient program for photo restoration and photo retouching. Retoucher not only removes dust, scratches, stains and other defects that appear on damaged photos but is also able to reconstruct missing parts of a photo using the information of the surrounding areas. The work is done automatically; you only have to indicate areas to be restored, push the button, and here you are - the surface becomes smooth and imperfections disappear.
It looks like magic when you observe the scratches vanishing before your very eyes. AKVIS Retoucher is also a handy tool for improving photo composition. It is possible to remove date stamps, logos, small irrelevant details (wires, refuse bins, etc) and even bigger objects (i.e. people who fell into the shot by accident, cars in the background). If you need to increase the canvas size (from one side or proportionally) to bring the main object into focus, i.e. to center it, AKVIS Retoucher will help you to extend image patterns to the blank areas of the canvas.

Features:
Polygraphists will find AKVIS Retoucher useful in doing the prepress processing job. They often have the problem of extending the borders of a layout that does not have space for cropping. AKVIS Retoucher saves much time by doing this quickly and efficiently.

* Use AKVIS Retoucher for the following purposes: restore old and damaged photos from your family archive by removing scratches, stains and other defects;
* improve the composition of your photos by removing the date stamp, distracting details (wires, refuse bins, etc) and by extending the photo canvas (increase the image canvas and the plug-in will recreate the image patterns in the blank areas);
* reconstruct missing parts of the photo (to restore a torn photo, in polygraphy to extend the borders of a layout that does not have space for cropping).

AKVIS Retoucher is your reliable tool for increasing productivity!

AKVIS Chameleon 6.0

2009-07-21T06:25:00.000-07:00

AKVIS Chameleon 6.0
Mac App | 29mb | Rs,Hf
AKVIS Chameleon is an efficient tool for photo collage creation. This ingenious software makes the process easy and entertaining. Earlier one had to thoroughly select an object before pasting it into a new background; with this software this tedious part of work drops out. You can concentrate on the creative part and forget about complicated selection techniques.

Features:

The software has four modes:

Montage. In this mode the program combines images to create a seamless photo montage. It transfers selected objects to a new background and makes the irrelevant parts of the pasted fragment fade away. The object does not change its color range or opacity, only its edges adapt to the new environment and get smoothed. This mode is good to use for creating photo collages with people (pasting a person into a new background).

Chameleon. In this mode the program adjusts the pasted fragment to the target image color range and smoothes the object's borders. It looks similar to the way a chameleon adapts to the environment.

Blend Mode. In this mode the program does not only smoothen the borders of the pasted object and adjusts its color range, but it also makes the object semi-transparent, so that the texture and the relief of the primary image can be seen through. Use this mode if you want to «dissolve» the pasted image in the background.

Emersion Mode. In Emersion mode, like in Montage mode, the program combines images to create a seamless photo montage. The difference between the two is that in Emersion Mode the pasted fragment does not overlay the background, but embeds into the background so that only certain parts of the fragment are visible. This mode allows making montages with difficult objects (trees, etc).

The tool is very easy to handle as it does not require precise selection of objects.

You can use AKVIS Chameleon in many ways. You can create customized postcards for your loved ones; make a wedding album using all kinds of photos and backgrounds; correct closed eyes (by implanting open eyes from another photo of the series), change the appearance of a person, etc.

Designers will appreciate this tool as it allows them to combine images with entirely different color ranges, to create the effect of drawing on a texture surface (crumpled paper, wood, etc), and all that with only a mouse-click.

AKVIS Chameleon integrates into the image processing programs installed on your computer. The plug-in is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro, etc.

add color to black and white photos;

add color to hand sketch drawings (for example, manga drawings and comics);

replace colors on a color photo;

AKVIS ArtWork 2.0

AKVIS ArtWork 2.0
Mac App | 52mb | Rs,Hf
ArtWork v.2.0. Discover the World of Painting! AKVIS ArtWork is designed to imitate different painting techniques. ArtWork helps you to create a piece of art out of any digital photo! AKVIS ArtWork is an ideal solution for your creative expression. Combining advanced technologies with an artistic approach, the new AKVIS creative suite is a perfect virtual artist for your PC. Now AKVIS ArtWork offers two painting styles - Oil Painting and Comics. In the future, the program will learn additional painting techniques.

Features:
The Oil Painting effect converts your photographs into oil paintings. The program lays brush strokes naturally using the original photo as a reference. Unlike many other programs and Photoshop plug-ins, ArtWork creates a real painting out of a photo, not just adds twisted geometric lines to make it look like one. Even with the default settings you can achieve a realistic result coming very close to hand-painted works. Tweak the options, and you can research a variety of oil painting styles.

For those in need of more flexibility and having ideas on how the final panting should look, there is a tool called Stroke Direction. This semi-automatic and highly intelligent tool is a real godsend as it gives you full control over the strokes. Use a special brush to define the guiding lines, and the virtual painter will convert the image into a painting directing the strokes to follow the drawn guiding lines. With this technique you can achieve truly realistic paintings with human hair, patterns and textures going in the right direction.

NEW! The new Comics effect allows ArtWork users to replicate works of famous comics artists with just a few clicks.

The virtual painter will take care of converting a digital picture into an oil painting, but what else makes a painting look like a work of art? Canvas and the artist's signature! AKVIS ArtWork offers the choice between a flat background and a rough surface (canvas, paper, etc.) that makes the impression even more stunning. You can add a signature or an inscription to the picture with your own font and color.

What Is It Good For?

Create an oil portrait of your friend, a landscape painting or a still life picture. Express yourself in new genres! You can print the final painting on a color printer, frame it or put it into a ready-made photo frame, or even add some real oil strokes to make the painting real. Create a greeting card or a poster, and you have a wonderful present for friends and family. No brushes or paints are required. Just get ArtWork and unleash your creativity.

Young artists and art teachers can use ArtWork to improve painting skills. Those who generally focus too much on details can first simplify their images using ArtWork, then use the result as a reference to paint their own oil painting.

The program is available in two versions - as an independent program (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor.
The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro etc.

* Artistic Effects allow experimenting with photos – convert a photo into a B&W image and consequently add a color shade to it; replace colors on an image, add a texture (chosen from the built-in Texture Library or one created by the user) so that the image looks like drawn on a canvas, brick wall, corrugated paper, etc.

It is planned to enrich the effects collection with new ones.
