AKVIS just launched AKVIS MakeUp V.1.0 for Windows and Macintosh, a program that automatically smoothes small defects on the skin, making it radiant, beautiful, pure and even, as you can see on artistic images.

The software, which does not work in real life with real persons, is ideal for processing marriage photographs or graduation party photos. Thanks to Batch Processing feature, you won't need to process every single picture, but just apply the chosen settings to the whole folder with the event shooting. AKVIS MakeUp can be useful to the fans of social networks and blogs to improve their profile pictures and add a touch of glamour to the albums. The program is available in plugin and standalone versions.

Stylish, glamorous photographs have become the hallmark of the fashion industry. But not everyone knows that before a photo hits the pages of a magazine, it is subjected to thorough processing. Now these tricks of professional photographers are available to everyone! Just open a portrait with AKVIS MakeUp and click on the Run button. The software will retouch and freshen up the skin without changing other aspects of the photo.

There are two modes – Express and Advanced. In Express mode you can do the correction with a single click using the default settings, while in Advanced mode you can choose the tone of the skin more precisely using the eyedropper tool and play with more parameters to find the golden mean between glamour and authenticity.

In Advanced mode you can achieve special effects, for example - High Key Lighting, which blows out harsh shadows and thus removes small imperfections and the shadows under the eyes. The features of a face become well-defined and the portrait appears in the best light.

AKVIS MakeUp is available in plugin and standalone versions. The plugin version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS5 64 bit. The software runs on Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP and on Macintosh Mac OS X 10.4-10.6, both 32 and 64 bit.

AKVIS MakeUp sells for $39 USD for Home version (either Plugin or Standalone), $49 USD for Home Deluxe (Plugin and Standalone), $72 USD for Business (Plugin and Standalone, for commercial use).

The full functional trial version of AKVIS MakeUp v.1.0 is available at akvis.com.
