	Aquatint : Make Aqua images for OS X
		Aquatint's own icon was made using Aquatint, as were the appearances for the "circular slider" widget that you can see in the screen shot below.
		By the way, Aquatint always produces images with transparency; the shadow shown here is a real shadow, and these images would look great on any background.
		Aquatint is shareware (which means we rely on you to pay for it if you use it).

	Aquatint. Beguin.
		Aquatint may be distinguished from all engraving done directly with tools (used for both line work and dotted work) such as gravers, needles, roulettes, poles, etc. Aquatint may also be distinguished from line etching even though it is classified under the general heading of etching.
		The term aquatint was coined in London during this period of exile.
		In aquatint the mordant must just reach the level of the plate so that the waves will successively cover and uncover it as they go back and forth.

	Maryland Printmakers - Silk Aquatint
		Silk aquatint, a form of collagraph, seems to be widely known to some artists and frequently used in some art colleges, and totally unknown in other art circles.
		The catalog class description reads: "Silk aquatint has the richness of mezzotint, the spontaneity of action painting, the sheer washes of water color or the vivacious surface of a palette knife impasto and the durability of a steel faced etching plate all without acid." Kathy Caraccio and Robert Kelly have worked together for ten years.
		She editions his silk aquatint plates and feels they are an excellent example of a direct callagraphic approach.

	Antun Mates - Graphics albums (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The six aquatints by Antun Mates, who belongs to the top of the contemporary Croatian graphic art, are a thematically closed cycle of Zagreb themes.
		This outstanding graphic artist did not accidentally choose the graphic discipline of the aquatint, "the most painterlike technique of all" in graphic art, close to the watercolour in which this painter is a superior and unrivalled master.
		This top-level professional "lesson" is visible in these remarkable aquatints, the professional ethics is present in the fact that the graphic art by Mates represents a temptation "in spite of the unherolike time".
