Product Description:

AKVIS Coloriage manipulates colors of an image: from colorizing old black and white photos from your family archive to replacing colors in your color photos.

Make a present for your grandmother by adding color to her school photo, replace the colors of your car to see how it would look in scarlet, see how you will look if you dye your hair red.

AKVIS Coloriage creates natural-looking colorization in a quick and entertaining manner. It works equally well for coloring of portraits, landscapes, fashion, and still life. The skin, sky, verdure, and tree color patterns help users to select realistic colors for their picture.

Apply your creativity and you will find a wide variety of other usages for the software. You can create colorful backgrounds out of ordinary dull pictures, you can apply AKVIS Coloriage to get rid of the red eye effect, to make selective color correction, selective desaturation and colorizing, etc.

AKVIS Coloriage is as easy to use as a coloring book. No layers manipulation, no complicated techniques, no more hours of frustration attempting to get just the look you want - everything is done with a few brush strokes. Indicate the desired colors by the stroke of the brush; the program does the rest of the work: recognizes the object's border and tailors the new color to the grayscale tones of the initial picture.

What's new in this version:

Attention Mac-Users: If you have a previous version of Coloriage installed, you'll have to remove the "AKVIS Coloriage" folder in the Plugins folder before installing the new version.

Though my ibook is very old and week ;) I use Coloriage with a success - both plugin and application.
The colorization tool is awesome. If you can make such thinks so quickly and easily with other programs - you are lucky! Colorization tool helps me and I am glad to use it.

I don't know who your marketing person is, but they have serious issues with delusions of grandeur.
I do a better job restoring and colorizing old photos using photoshop then these plugins. For god sakes, their plugins that crash and are totally unstable.

If it were me I would sell these things at 15.00 to 20.00 and you would be making so much more money on volume then the chicken feed you're clearly making now.

I just realized that I still had AKVIS Retoucher install in the plugins folder. So I gave it another try.
It wiped Avril's mouth off and made it look like a 3rd degree burn scar, then it crashed. I draged it to the trash.

This Coloriage is not much better. They are trying to create an set of plugins that are so automatic that an idiot could become a photo restorer and colorizing. Guys, it's never going to happen. There is NO WAY you can make an application that can do that. You're coming close with this but it will never be real.

There used to be an OS 9 app and I think it was called PhotoDeluxe. It was freakin awesome. I don't know why they didn't make an OS X version, but NOTHING has come close.

Now if you took that stand alone application and made it into an OS X version without screwing with it, I would pay a hundred bucks for that, as for the crap your putting out now, no thanks at any price.

This is nice if it were 100% solid and you had the time to learn a whole new way of doing things. Then there's the price, ouch. If it were 21.00 or 37.00, I could come up with that "maybe" without the wife finding out that I spent money on something so useless.

I think I'll take the other road for now.
