NEW PROGRAM

Thought I was going to pay $5.00 for a new program I just downloaded. Guess what? It was on sale for 99¢. So what is this new program you ask? It's called iSplash. It's a Mac program so don't know if it is available for PC. So what does it do? It turns a color photo into black and white and then you can color in the part you want colored. The picture of me in the header picture is an example. I just colored my hat pink. The rest is black and white. (I did add a little sepia tone to the whole header.) Here's another example. This time I colored my blouse and left the rest black and white. (Faded frame added with another program called Flare.)


And the next one I just colored my necklace and top.

It just occurred to me this would be good to share for Pink Saturday. Maybe I will.

OK. So I decided I will share this for Pink Saturday and add another photo. This one is pink bougainvillea in our back yard growing by a palm tree. I just colored the pink part. 

The bracts (not blossoms) start out orange and then turn pink.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

Thanks again to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturday each week.

    I looked up iSplash and it was an application to make pictures look like they are under water. Is that the name? iSplash? I would really love to have it. Bethinnorthc@gmail.com Thanks so much Charlotte.

    This looks like a great and fun thing to have. I better stick to what I have. I am not the computer expert some of you are. I love what you did. You do not have to look for pinks now, just make your own. How wonderful that would be.

    How fun! Thank you for sharing this. I went straight to my Mac and bought it and tested it. One thing I noticed. I do not use iPhoto. When the iSplash screen came up, it had a button "get from iPhoto" and I thought, "Oh dear, I can't use it." Being curious by nature tho, I clicked on that button and it just brought up all my files. I selected on of the pictures from my files of photos and it worked just fine!

    And re: what Beth wrote - this is iSplash on the Mac computer. I think she found iSplashes for the iPhone or iPad as I checked to see if they offered this app there as well. And I am now off to check her ColorSpash for the iPhone.

    Thanks for such a fun visit. Won't my grandkids and I enjoy coloring photos this way! :)

    Happy Pink Saturday, Charlotte. I see you are first in line today. I ran the roads all day yesterday - crazy busy. I am so ready for this Sunday. I need to have my time of peace and reflection.

    Your photos looks fantastic, and so does your blog. You know I think you are beautiful, and your good heart shines through your smile.

    Charlotte, I simply love your header and reading this I post, even very late, I was amazed at the creativity of this isplash. I am sure if PC does not have one now they will soon. Such competition today! I am PC not Mac. I do want to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such lovely comments on my two recent posts. Thank you from my heart.
