Think Schindler’s List’s little girl in red, or the dramatic style of Sin City. tintii takes a colour photo and cleverly separates it into a handful of major hues. You then select which colours to pop, and the rest become black & white.

tintii involves no tedious selections or masking, or rigid preselected colours, just a few mouse clicks and a great colour-select effect. Additional post-processing controls facilitate finer control, such as edge softening and greyscale mixing.

The tintii filter plugin for Adobe® Photoshop®, Photoshop Elements and Corel® Paint Shop Pro® lets you apply selective colour effects in conjunction with tools such as desaturation brushes, scripting and batch processing. The tintii plugin is a great asset in the toolkit of professional or hobbyist photographers, graphic designers and web designers.

The tintii plugin for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro is only $19 AUD (about $16 US, £10 GBP or €11 EUR) and can be purchased here. The free standalone version allows you to trial the effect before purchasing.
