AKVIS ArtSuite is a collection of effects and frames for decoration of photos. We may need it on such occasions as when creating a postcard for our friends, making a holiday album, personalized desktop wallpaper, or just playing with our 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 us generate a frame for our photo; Artistic Effects allow experimenting with photos (colors, surface, etc). Edge Effects (Photo Frames) let us generate a photo frame for our photo. Add elegance and style to our 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 our particular photo. Select a color for the frame, choose its form, style, brightness, and the intensity of the applied edge effect. We 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. We could customize a frame too. In addition, 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.
