AKVIS Coloriage has been updated to v.7.0. AKVIS Coloriage colorizes black and white photos and replaces color in color photos. Just choose the desired colors with a brush stroke; the program recognizes the object's border itself and tailors the new color to the grayscale tones of image. Read about the program here.

New to version 7.0:

• Changed the interface design: new program skin and new application icon. See new screenshots.
• Added new mode for the Pencil tool - Multicolor mode, and the Multicolor palette to the Settings Panel to manage this mode. In this mode it is possible to draw several colors at once. It is helpful for complex patterns and objects with clear boundaries, where many areas would have to be marked by the pencil, such as tree branches against a sky, a bush with many flowers, or the buttons on a shirt.

  These new features are available for advanced licenses (Deluxe, Business).
• Improved compatibility with Windows 7 and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)
