Press Release Summary: AKVIS LightShop lets you create an infinite number of amazing
light effects.

Press Release Body: November, 2007 - AKVIS LLC announces the update of AKVIS
LightShop for Windows and Macintosh to version v. 2.0. AKVIS LightShop lets you
create an infinite number of amazing light effects that draw attention and can
animate any photo. Now the program is available in both - standalone and plug-in
versions. Mac: LightShop is now a Universal Binary application. Added compatibility
with Photoshop Elements v.6.0.

People by their nature are attracted by things that shine, sparkle, glow and
glitter. A light effect draws attention and animates any photo.

AKVIS LightShop helps you create impressive light effects: lightning in a stormy
sky, a colorful rainbow over a city, a reflection on a raindrop, the glow on
smoldering wood in a fire-place, alien signs blazing in the night sky, flares on the
sun, the lights of distant planets, fireworks - wherever your imagination may take
you!

Light effects can brighten up any photo: make it look more natural (by adding
reflections on shiny objects) or on the contrary - add a bit of magic and fantasy.
Just a few clicks and the eyes of your loved one sparkle like diamonds; some simple
manipulations - and a moonlit road appears in night scenery.

For quick start the program offers a number of ready-to-use light effects (presets)
that can be applied in their initial version or can be modified. First you can train
on available light effects and than create your exclusive ones. It is possible to
save your own presets to use them in the future or share with others. See some
presets here: http://akvis.com/en/lightshop/presets-lighting-effect.php

Professional designers will find many uses for light effects. They may apply
reflections and glows to glamour photography - to make jewelry and precious stones
sparkle on the images of celebrities; or use effects in advertisement catalogues to
draw attention to exclusive articles. Christmas postcards can not do without magic
lights and glows. Dull landscape shots can be saved by the sun rays or reflections
on water.

Light effects often have a complex structure and many parameters and modifiers.
However, thanks to the Hints to every parameter and the preview window, users will
not get lost in the interface. A bit of practice and you can create the most
extraordinary effects. Moreover, an infinite number of them.

Version 2.0 of AKVIS LightShop is available as a stand-alone application and as a
Photoshop plug-in. The Macintosh version is a Universal Binary application. It runs
on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers. Besides, added compatibility with
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard); added a new interface language (French); added
compatibility with Photoshop Elements v.6.0.

For a free trial, AKVIS offers 10 days of fully functional use. Just download and
