October 15, 2004 - AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS Stamp V.1.2, with a new operational mode for added flexibility in digital photo retouching.
AKVIS Stamp, originally released in September 2004, is a digital image processing plug-in for removing unwanted elements in digital photos by automatically adjusting "patches" to the color range, texture and brightness of the target background. With a simple user interface and minimal steps to follow, AKVIS Stamp is a versatile healing tool for removal of wrinkles, scars, scratches and pores from digital portraits, and performs seamless cloning in photos without the tedium of hand-blending. New to version 1.2 is a unique Edit Mode, useful for cloning large fragments or when it is impossible to clone an area in one step. In the prior version, cloned objects were fused automatically when the user released the mouse button. The new version's Edit Mode will not fuse the cloned area with the background until the Edit Mode is deactivated, allowing multiple revisions such as changing the size of the stamp, indicating another source for cloning, making clones out of different parts of the image, or removal of unnecessary parts of the cloned area before making the changes permanent. When all the details of a retouch are complete, the user switches off the Edit Mode, and all the cloned areas are flawlessly integrated. Users of the newer releases of Adobe Photoshop have Healing Brush at their disposal, but the Edit Mode of AKVIS Stamp adds a superior healing tool to Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Ulead PhotoImpact, ACD FotoCanvas and Picture Publisher Pro, etc. For users of earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (V.5 and 6, which do not have Healing Brush), AKVIS Stamp updates their software almost to V.7 functionality for a great price, and with an intelligent program interface for users of all levels of skill. AKVIS Stamp runs on Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/NT. Related Links:
