AKVIS Charcoal For Mac

AKVIS Charcoal is a photo editing utility designed to provide you with all the necessary tools for converting pictures into chalk drawings.

Despite the app's goal of adding chalk effects to your images or photos, it also features an extensive kit of tools and features that could certainly qualify it as being a basic photo editor.

Thus, AKVIS Charcoal enables you to crop, rotate, cut, add texts, adjust colors, change shadows, modify the opacity of certain photo elements, as well as tweak the contrast, distortion level, brightness and scale of any picture.

Moreover, you can load almost any photo from your Mac or your camera directly into the main window because it offers support for some of the most popular image formats, as well as for RAW and PSD files.

Another worth mentioning feature is the fact that AKVIS Charcoal makes it easy for you to export your chalk sketches to PNG, BMP, JPEG, JPG, and TIFF, as well as print and share your creations on social networking services like Facebook, Twitter, Flick, Tumblr, and Google+.

Last, but not least, AKVIS Charcoal comes with a large set of charcoal drawing-like presets, which can be manually tweaked with the help of the Drawing Tab in order to change the way they impact your photo.

Taking all things into consideration, AKVIS Charcoal provides an interesting mix of basic photo editing capabilities, and a fast and simple to use tool that helps you add charcoal effects to your pictures.
