AKVIS OilPaint For Mac

AKVIS OilPaint is a streamlined and quite powerful cross-platform image processing tool that can promises to help you turn your photographs into beautiful paintings with just a couple of mouse clicks.

With only a few mouse clicks, you can apply a realistic oil painting effect and then share or export the resulting images. AKVIS OilPaint is available as both a standalone app and as a plug-in for various popular graphic apps.

The application comes with a number of presets, but you can also create your own by changing the painting, text and canvas settings.

In the painting pane, you can adjust the simplicity, saturation, relief, max stroke length, stroke thickness, intensity and curvature as well as the mix.

The text options let you enter a custom text watermark, change its font, size, color stretch and position. As for the canvas settings, you can set the canvas scale and adjust the texture application parameters (brightness, embossing, reveal texture and distortion).

Changes can be immediately previewed in a small navigator pane. What’s more, the main canvas provides “Before” and “After” tabs. To check out the resulting painting, click the Run button and access the “After” tab. The more changes you make, the more time it takes to render the image.

Some additional options include importing / exporting presets, showing / hiding keystrokes, loading guiding lines, as well as basic editing tools, such as pen, eraser, smudge and crop.

AKVIS OilPaint also supports batch processing of entire folders and, finally, paintings can be exported to the common graphic formats JPEG, TIFF, BMP or PNG.

The app enables you to create quite realistic handmade oil paintings from your digital photos with ease, it comes with a large assortment of presets, and it also allows you to create your own.
