Software - - Akvis Plug ins

I was wondering if anyone is using Chameleon, Colorage, Decorator, Retoucher or Noise Buster. I do retouching and compositing with old and new photos together. These plug ins look like they would be very helpful.

Only one I've used is "Sketch." It had a 30-day/unrestricted use trial at the time. Does this policy apply to the ones you're considering? Having this much time made it easy to evaluate usefulness/applicability to the work I do.

I've had good experiences with their technical support folks (fast e-mail reply; friendly and helpful).

Thank you, Danny. It appears they only offer a ten day trial period. This would be fine for one plug in but if I wanted to try a few at the same time, that is not enough time. It is good to hear, though, that they have excellent support.

I've used every one of AKVIS' products and have screenshots and samples posted here (listed next to their logo). I think Chameleon and Decorator are the most fun, due to the creative effects made possible, while the others are more practical.

Thanx! Great work. I look forward to exploring it.

Thank you for your kind words! We will go on and try to make new useful tools, and improve our old programs. Your comments are welcome.

Now we have the Support Forum here.

We have just released the new version of the Chameleon plugin. Now Chameleon has an interface with three modes that offer three photo collage types.
Your opinion would be highly appreciated as well as your tutorials. We always glad to receive tutorials and reward for them with full versions of our programs.
