I found another cool photo tool, for “colour popping”.

tintii is a smart selective colour photo filter, highlighting the striking colours of a photo while desaturating the rest to greyscale. Also known as colour popping…

If you know what you’re doing, you can do this all in Photoshop without tintii. Depending how talented you are this may take very little time, or you may not do it because it takes too long. Enter tintii.

Using either the stand alone software (free; it proved to have some stability problems for me), or a Photoshop plugin ($16; I didn’t buy it), you can make the colors pop.

Of course you have to have the right photo…

Here are the before and after images.

Hrm, I’m using WordPress’ built in gallery feature to display them. That’s not exactly what I had in mind, but it works pretty well. (I’d like to focus on the center part of the image, with the flower.)[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

    I packaged Tintii for my Linux distribution of choice. Liked it so much I made a video and put it up on YouTube. Thought it might be complementary to your article. Of course you can remove this link if you don’t agree. However, I do recommend Tintii as a great time saver for getting this kind of color effect. Makes me want to take a look at there other offering UrbanLightScape.

      (Generally I don’t let URL’s through, but happy to link to your article on Tintii.)
