[Effect Example] Process the image into an old postcard style

Original photo

Converted photo

Step 1. Open the image in any photo editor.

Step 2. Digital cameras are convenient, but they do not always take beautiful pictures. If you need to make adjustments, adjust the tone curve, etc. as needed. If the photo does not require adjustments, this step is not necessary.

Step 3. Click Filter > AKVIS > Sketch to open the AKVIS Sketch plugin (please note that this is a separate product from ArtSuite).

Step 4. Adjust the parameters.

Once adjusted, Click to apply the result, Click and then close the plugin.

Step 5. Add a simple frame to the image to make it look like a postcard. This time, I adjusted the canvas size to add a 0.6cm margin.

The result will look like this:

Step 6. Let's say you want to create a retro-looking postcard of Berlin from 1908.
Go to AKVIS > ArtSuite > Filters. Select the Monochrome Effect from the drop-down menu. Move the dot on the circular color palette a little to the right to give the photo a sepia tint. The tones are a little dark, so I also move the Gray Mixer to red.
Tip: In the program's preferences, you can see the changes as they happen. We recommend using Autorun mode, which is on by default.

Apply the results, Click to close the plugin.

Finally, I added the words "Berling 1908" so that a photo taken almost 100 years in the future looks like an old postcard from 1908.

I entered the serial number but an error occurred and I can't activate it.

The serial number (activation key) you enter into your AKVIS product will be a 12-digit number consisting of random alphanumeric characters.
If you purchased your product from SourceNext or another company, you may have been issued multiple serial numbers, but in many cases, you may have entered the wrong number, resulting in an error.
Please make sure to enter the license number issued for your AKVIS product.

It is also possible that you have mistakenly entered something that is easily confused, such as an O or a zero.
Whenever possible, we recommend using copy and paste instead of entering information manually.

Can I install it on multiple PCs?

All AKVIS products, except AliveColors, can be installed on up to two PCs by the same person.
It can be installed on two computers, meaning that activation with the same key can only be performed twice.

AliveColors, both the Home and Business versions, can only be installed on one PC.

Plug-in not installing in Photoshop

The Japanese version of AKVIS cannot automatically detect the Photoshop Plug-ins folder during installation.
In a 32-bit environment it is located in [Program Files], in a 64-bit environment it is located in [program files (x86)] and under it there are folders for each product.
There is a .8bf file in that folder, so please copy it manually and place it in the Photoshop [Plug-ins] folder.

***.8bf is the 32-bit version and ***_64.8bf is the 64-bit version.
Plugins with different versions will not be displayed, so be sure to copy the one that matches your environment.

What are plugins?

A plug-in is a program that adds new features to existing software or enhances its functionality.

AKVIS has developed a variety of plugins compatible with popular image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop.

For example, if you use AKVIS products as plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop, you can edit images with AKVIS products by downloading them from Adobe Photoshop.

You can edit the image area back in AKVIS products.

AKVIS plugins are compatible with Adobe products as well as with most popular image editing software. Check compatibility with the trial version.
