Illustration is a dirty word, or at least was until recently. Neither truly accepted by the art establishment nor the design industry, illustration has battled on regardless. Derided as whimsical by artists and arty by designers, illustration had found itself existing in a no-manÕs-land between the two. In education the discipline has fared no better - rarely given more than just studio space, the student illustrator has learnt to bend the rules and break across borders to gain access to facilities and equipment to facilitate their work. So life as an illustrator is not for the faint-hearted, it takes massive determination to face the demands and rigours of a career choice that can feel vastly unsupported, but against these odds the discipline has mounted an impressive return to form. How and why?

According to The National Museum of Illustration in Rhode Island, USA, 'Illustrators combine personal expression with pictorial representation in order to convey ideasÕ - a useful description certainly, but one that falls short of fully capturing the essence of what the subject is or has been about. Describing the 'golden eraÕ, when magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post scoured the studios for great illustrators, Steven Heller the design writer and art director stated that 'Illustration was the peopleÕs artÕ. A sentiment echoed by the National Museum of Illustration - 'illustration serves as a reservoir of our social and cultural historyÕ, even going onto state - 'Illustration is therefore, a significant and enduring art formÕ.

AKVIS SmartMask is a photoshop filter that can Save time on making complex selections.why you lost details while you making sellestions(like hair for example)? check it out!

AKVIS SmartMask is an efficient selection tool that saves you time and is fun to use. Never before has selection been so simple! There are many occasions when you have to make a selection. When processing an image, you will often need to mark up an area to which an effect or a correction should be applied. Photo collage and photo montage creation requires thorough selection of objects.However, making selection can be a painstaking job because many objects don't have clearly defined edges and fade into the background. Just try selecting yourself on a group photo.

AKVIS SmartMask makes even a difficult selection as easy as pie. Now, you can spend less of your time on selection of objects and more of it on creativity.The idea is so simple that you will feel like a child in drawing classes: there are two pencils (red and blue); you draw a line with the blue pencil inside the object you want to select (for example, yourself on a group photo), and with the red pencil - some lines outside the object, to define the areas that should be cut out (other guys in the photo).The program miraculously reads your thoughts and makes the selection you want - understanding where the borders of the object end.There are three modes tailored to different selection types: Sharp, Soft and Complex.For example, in the Soft mode a green pencil is added, that helps you to define difficult parts - fluff, hair, fur. In cases where the selected object stands against a background of a similar color range, or the object's edges are uneven, you can use the touch-up brush in the Complex mode.

This program is primarily meant for people who need to protect video or graphics files from illegal copying by putting a watermark (text or graphic information) over an image. Simple text, image file, animated GIF or video file can be used as watermark here. Besides, Watermark Master provides ability to apply a great number of various effects to a watermark, including dynamic effects. A dynamic effect implies variation of the watermark in time, for example, smooth appearance or disappearance of the watermark, movement of the watermark, etc.

With Watermark Master it is possible to put subtitles onto a video film. As the source one can use DVD subtitles or SRT files.

Besides, the program will be useful for users who need to remove a static object (for example, a channel logo or codec artefact) from a video or graphics file. Two functions have been developed for that purpose:

* blurring the object - in this case the object is simply blurred according to the specified blur parameters
* removing the object - in this case the object is removed, and the removed pixels are compensated with the pixels adjacent to the removed object.

For owners of web servers based on a Windows operating system!
Watermark Master provides remote processing feature. Interface of the feature is comprehensible by intuition and easy-to-use.
