AKVIS Retoucher 6.0

AKVIS Retoucher is a basic image editing tool created mainly to help you repair and retouch old and damaged photos.
AKVIS Retoucher is not an overwhelmingly comprehensive image processing tool that comes with a lot of functions and features. It only provides what’s needed to remove imperfections from photos or to lightly retouch them. It’s actually a great solution to remove dust, scratches, stains and other defects that may appear on photos, as it can reconstruct the lacking or unwanted parts of the photo with the help of the surrounding area information. It can even be used to remove date stamps or even entire objects from photos like people passing by or unwanted background elements. Though rather lightweight, with a bit of skills and a little effort, it can be used to create amazing modifications and to lead to impressive results.

I really like that it can be used as a standalone application but also as a plug-in for powerful graphic editors like Adobe Photoshop, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, Paint Shop Pro and other.
In conclusion, though it might sound quite pricey, it’s surely worth to try, as it provides a unique combination of simplicity and effectiveness that will please any user.
