ColorStrokes - Paint your photos

Currently, there are a lot of programs for processing images from the well-known professional solutions like Adobe Photoshop and ending with the niche-like SnaphealAbout which I already wrote. And if the first product is quite expensive and is more suitable for professionals, the second just on the contrary - for people who do not spend much time in the photo processing, but want to get a good result. hero of this review - ColorStrokes from companies MacPhun, which developed Snapheal. Unlike Snapheal, which offers an easy way to remove unnecessary objects from a photo, ColorStrokes help us to paint your photos. But not entirely, and only the individual elements.

Upload photos from your library. The program automatically making it black and white. All we need is to take a brush and start to isolate the area you want to keep in color.

Besides the usual brush at our disposal, and other tools. She is responsible for the paintbrush "raskasku" object in the foreground (that it will be in color), but also we have access to tools for working with a rear background. You can select automatic adjustment Grayscale, Sepia, or background in blue tones. We also available tool to repaint the image. Choosing the right color and paint over our photos.

After highlighting the elements of interest, we can play them more accurate tuning. You can adjust the brightness, contrast, blur and color saturation. Each of these items separately is responsible for front and background images separately - for the background.
In addition, we see the panel with the effects (though there are only four hours used display and function in Instagram are not substitute), which will be applied to the entire image and poluzonok to create vignettes - darkening the area around a photo.

In general, the interface of the program, as well as photo editing logic, very similar to Snapheal. The only difference is that we Snapheal paints the area you want to be removed, and in ColorStrokes - an area that should be left in color.

Also there is the comparison function of the edited image with the original so that you are always able to assess the quality of the work done.
Finished images can not only save to their local hard drive, but also to send via email or publish to social networks.

But the average user does not understand all the wisdoms of professional package to create interesting and beautiful images in a few clicks, fit exactly. The more that the price of the application is not more than 100 rubles.
