More ColorBlast

The developer of ColorBlast has just released a second video show what the app is capable of doing.

Painting Color

The core feature of ColorBlast is the ability to separate and color one object in an otherwise black and white photo. To make this possible, and even fun, ColorBlast employs selective color technology which allows you to start brushing on a specified color and then paint only that color. This means that you can brush right over the edge of an object without causing overpainting of other colors. The starting point of a brush operation defines the color to use. Multiple colors can be painted using separate strokes.

Tinting and Toning

So you've colored an object on a black and white image. Maybe you're done. Or maybe black and white isn't what you were thinking. ColorBlast allows you to pick from a range of tinting options. Maybe a Sepia or a Cobalt will give you the look you want. Or you can adjust the Color Saturation of the background. Bring it up just a little, while the main object is in full saturation. The tinting and saturation also work together, to provide toning.

Change the Color

You've highlighted a blue object. ColorBlast allows you to change the color to anything you want. Open the brush adjustments panel and change the hue or exposure. A blue hat can become red, with a simple slider adjustment.
