Tintii is a standalone photo filter that lets you implement selective coloring on your photos (also known as color popping), where an image is converted to greyscale with the exception of some individual color layers that remain.
See two examples of the kinds of results that you can get below (I didn’t snap the pictures, but I did do the processing with Tintii) Also go to the Flickr photostream.
How to use: load up your image and Tintii will automatically create four color layers. Manipulation is done via sliders on the right sidebar, which you can instantly use to good effect if you know what you are doing and, if you don’t, a little bit of experimentation can be a lot of fun.
An interesting discovery for me is that you can actually create more layers than the default 4 that the program creates for you (add to the number of so-called "thumbnails" in the siderbar).
Note on the free version: the standalone executive is fully functional; however the installer also includes Photoshop and Corel Paint plugins, which are not free and require registration. You can uncheck these during install if you do not want them installed.
The verdict: a nice little standalone exec that works really well. If you are interested in this technique and would like a quick handy program that can do it check Tintii out for sure. Or if you simply like to experiment with different effects give this one a try for sure.
Version Tested: 2.2.3
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 (64 bit version available); Linux; Mac.
Go to the program home page to download and for more information (approx 3.2 megs).For the 64bit version the Tintii page on sourceforge and go to the "files" section to find and download.
Hi Guys,
who can tell please what was added to v2.2.3 compare to v2.2.2
2.2.2 was (is) clean if you check the download , but 15 from 40 security tools (Virustotal) are detecting AdWare. AdMedia in different variants in 2.2.3 (???)
Sure that still could be FP …but seems too many a finding “this”
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
@ Secure,
I took a look at the VirusTotal report. Here are the antivirus engines I put stock in:
Antivir – flags as adware
Avast – clean
AVG – clean
Kaspersky – flags as adware
NOD32- clean
In fact nine out of 14 positives flag Tintii as “adware”, while a couple of others flag it as “damaged file” or “suspicious file”.
However, since I am unable to find any trace of any ad displayed in this app, I will say that these are most probably all of them false positives.
Thanks a lot for reply, Samer
I do understand that it is most likely FP as I mentioned
My curiosity is because of so many are flagging the latest version similarly compare to no detections in the previous version … Probably we have to ask the developers.
Sure – no complaints to you or this site
You are doing great job here!
My regards
This works fantastic. I tried this on my freshmade weddingpics, highlighting only the purple shawl of my wife and it looks great.
@ Toni: awesome!
It is no longer FREEWARW for Windows, it becomes TRIAL
((
@ Boch:I just downloaded and installed via the sourceforge link mentioned above.
The standalone version of Tintii remains freeware. However, if you want to use Tintii as a photoshop plugin then than has to be registered and is not free.
