Tintii is a clever image filter that makes it easy to apply colour popping to your images, converting them to greyscale with a few select areas highlighted in colour (think the girl in red in Schindler's List, for example). This technique can produce spectacular results, and they're much easier to create than you might think.
There's no need to spend ages creating detailed masks, for instance. Just open an image, and tintii will display thumbnails of various ways in which its effect can be applied. In a single click you can preview the results full-screen.
Not quite what you need? Then you can tweak how the image is being processed, the areas that will be highlighted, the degree of colour saturation, overall colour balance, edge softening and more. But again, there's no need to have any particular understanding of colour theory or what's going on under the hood. Just drag the sliders around and try different values until you've produced the image you need.
This is a free, stand-alone version of the program that lets you open images, manipulate them and save the results. If you like what you see, though, you can optionally purchase a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and other programs that support the same extensions (Paint Shop Pro, for instance).
