Press Release Body: June 2008 - AKVIS announces the release of AKVIS Retoucher

Few things in life stir our memories and emotions the way photographs do.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, old photographs fade out, get stained, or get
otherwise damaged. In order to preserve them, many people try to digitize photos to
pass these cherished images on to future generations.

AKVIS Retoucher plug-in restores damaged photographs to optimal condition with
minimal effort and amazing results. Surface defects such as scratches, water spots,
flakes and stains can be removed automatically, just select the defects and run the
program. The wide variety of capabilities are demonstrated at


Moreover, the software is able to reconstruct the lacking parts of a photo using the
information of the surrounding areas. You can, therefore, restore a torn photo or a
photo with some parts missing.

AKVIS Retoucher is a handy tool for improving the composition of your photos. You
can remove date stamps, logos, small irrelevant details (wires, refuse bins, etc)
and even big objects (i.e. people who fell into the shot by accident, cars in the
background). If you need to increase the canvas size (from one side or
proportionally) to bring the main object into focus, i.e. to center it, AKVIS
Retoucher will help you to extend image patterns to the blank areas of the canvas.


New to version 3.0: Bugs fixed; improved compatibility with Photoshop Elements 6
for Windows and Macintosh versions; improved compatibility with Windows Vista. Added

The application is straightforward and can be used by amateur photographers who have
never performed retouching/image restoration before. The program comes with a
game-like tutorial, so any person can master the program within minutes.
