ColorSplash for iPad

This is a lovely app.

Grab any photo from your library. Here’s one of my wife and son, Felix, before he was one year old…

..and bring it into ColorSplash. It converts it into greyscale, then as you rub the screen with your finger, the original colour under your finger is revealed again…

It can sometimes be easier to get the edges right by zooming in and pressing the red button at the top of the screen to see the image this way…

…so in the picture above you can see that I ran over Felix’s back a bit, so I could undo that by tapping the Gray button and rubbing that area out.

Next is a photo of Felix when he’s about 5 with some presents he got for his birthday.

…and here it that image again in Red Mode…

…and using 2 fingers, pushing them apart, I can zoom in for finer editing…

…and you can see that I could tidy up the right side of the car.

I used the resulting image for the Home screen of my iPad.

The app is as cheap as chips, as we say in the UK.
