Simply Red

Continuing my quest to try out different photo apps, here’s Color Accent, a colour swapping tool that lets you highlight up to 9 colours in a photo.

Choose your highlight colour(s) and swipe to refine and adjust.

Like any paint program, you have to watch the lines where colours can bleed. As I chose red, in this case, my lips and face with red/pink undertones would come through on the picture. But nothing a broad swipe can’t fix.

Another thing to be aware of is that in one colour, there can be a few shades found in there. So you have to choose all the shades (be it shadowed or lighted), in order to have total coverage.

For a quick and dirty iPhone app, it does what it says and is easy to use. It’s also fun to play with, what with the finger swiping motion, reminding me of my addiction to Zombie Swipeout.
