Version 2 of Tint Photo Editor, redubbed tintii, has now been released. This version marks a major upgrade to the software, most particularly with the inclusion of a Photoshop plug-in.
tintii is a smart photo filter for striking colour select effects. Also known as colour popping, think Schindler’s List’s little girl in red, or the dramatic style of Sin City. The new release includes:
- An overhauled interface, quicker and more intuitive to use.
- A Photoshop plug-in to unleash the power of tintii in conjunction with Adobe’s juggernaut image editing suite.
- Orders of magnitude improved performance that now facilitates real-time editing.
- New post-processing tools to give finer control over the filter effect, and particularly handle whispy hair and other difficult edging tasks.
The standalone version of tintii remains free, open source software available on both Linux and Windows. The Photoshop plug-in, available only on Windows, requires the purchase of a registration key in order to activate. To retail at a regular price of AU$29, for a limited time it will be on offer at AU$14 (approximately US$9, GB£7 or EU€7) to mark its first release.

I suggest the following patch makes TintII a bit more user-friendly!

Good call cowbutt, will add this to the next release. To explain to other readers, what the patch does is allow you to select any file, not just those of recognised file extensions. The recognised file extensions, as provided by wxWidgets, all happen to be lowercase, which can be a pain on Linux if you use non-standard extensions or uppercase letters. It’s not such of an issue on Windows, where file names are case insensitive.
cocoon.4 — I’d love to see a Mac version as well, unfortunately I don’t have a Mac machine myself. I’d hope the Linux source distro would compile without too many tweaks required, the code should be portable, volunteer would be appreciated for that! Getting the Photoshop plug-in onto Mac is a bigger project, but one I’d like to undertake sometime.
