Tutorial: AKVIS OilPaint

Working with Presets

AKVIS OilPaint includes a number of ready to use presets (settings combinations) for the effect which help you start working. When moving a cursor over a preset in the drop-down list, above the settings, the quick result appears in the small window near the list.

A preset contains the settings for all tabs (Painting/Abstract Art/Decoration).

The AKVIS presets marked with * use the parameters available only for the Deluxe/Business licenses. In the Home version, these additional effects will not be applied, such presets will use with only Painting and Decoration settings.

To create a preset, adjust the settings, type a name into the field, and press Save.

To return to the default settings of the selected preset, press Reset.

To delete a user preset, choose it from the list and press Delete.

The AKVIS built-in presets cannot be removed.

Next to the preset name field there is a heart icon. Click on it to add the selected preset to Favorites or to remove it from this group of presets.
