AKVIS Sketch Turns Your Photos into Pencil Drawings

The folks at AKVIS specialize in letting you do new and interesting things with your photograph.

AKVIS Sketch v.12 is the latest release from the company and in addition to being a slick program on its own, it adds some things that were missing in earlier versions.

Among those improvements is the addition of a smudging effect, to add a bit of realism to your digitally rendered sketches. You can use the effect to correct errors in processing or to soften your image.

You can pick up a copy of AKVIS Sketch v.12 now for $72. If you already own version 9, 10 or 11 you can upgrade for free. You can also pick up a demo version that gives you 10 days of functionality.

Whatever your choice, you can download the program directly from AKVIS.
