Tintii photo filter - a smart photo filter for striking colour select effects. Also known as colour popping, think of Schindler’s List’s little girl in red, or the dramatic style of Sin City. Available as both a standalone program, and as a Photoshop plug-in.An experimental version of the tintii plugin for users of 64-bit Photoshop CS4 on Windows is now available.

Tintii takes full colour photos and processes them into black and white with some select regions highlighted in colour. The technique is known as colour popping or selective colouring – tintii makes it easy.
Striking colour pops in seconds
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.

Requires Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Supports Photoshop versions 7, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 (32/64-bit) and Photoshop Elements versions 5 and 6. Supports Paint Shop Pro X2 and probably earlier versions.
