ArtSuite is a collection of artistic effects and frames for decoration of photos. Decorate a photo to give it an original and festive look! The software offers several basic effects that allow creating an endless number of effect versions.
Pros: AKVIS ArtSuite is a collection of effects and frames for decoration of photos. You may need it on such occasions as when creating a postcard for your friends, making a holiday album, personalized desktop wallpaper, or just playing with your images. The software offers over 17 basic effects that allow creating an endless number of effect versions. There are two Effect groups: Photo Frames let you generate a frame for your photo; Artistic Effects allow experimenting with photos (colors, surface, etc). Edge Effects (Photo Frames) let you generate a photo frame for your photo. Add elegance and style to your image by putting it into a classic wooden frame or a funny one with some loony ideas for a frame. Photo frames samples that come with ArtSuite can be easily tailored to your particular photo. Select a color for the frame, choose its form, style, brightness, and the intensity of the applied edge effect. You can create a frame with ragged edges, scratched surface, a page curl, etc. One can even think of a transparent frame in a layer so that one gets a background image. The user could customize a frame too.
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. are possibilities.
The program is available in two versions; as an independent program and as a plug-in to a photo editor such as Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro etc.
Cons: Nothing problematic apparently.
Overall: The application is full of features, executed well, easy to use etc. It is good for at least a 4 star rating.
