Apply Selective Color on Your iPhone or iPad

Press Release
ColorBlast! from East Coast Pixels is a powerful, fun, state of the art color image processing tool for iPhone/iTouch. You can use it to be creative and share your results on the go.
This $1.99 app is compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and requires iOS 3.1.2 or later.
Painting Color
The core feature of ColorBlast! is the ability to separate and color one object in an otherwise black and white photo. To make this possible, and even fun, ColorBlast! employs selective color technology which allows you to start brushing on a specified color and then paint only that color. This means that you can brush right over the edge of an object without causing overpainting of other colors. The starting point of a brush operation defines the color to use. Multiple colors can be painted using separate strokes.
Tinting and Toning
So you’ve colored an object on a black and white image. Maybe you’re done. Or maybe black and white isn’t what you were thinking. ColorBlast! allows you to pick from a range of tinting options. Maybe a Sepia or a Cobalt will give you the look you want. Or you can adjust the Color Saturation of the background. Bring it up just a little, while the main object is in full saturation. The tinting and saturation also work together, to provide toning.
Change the Color
You’ve highlighted a blue object. ColorBlast! allows you to change the color to anything you want. Open the brush adjustments panel and change the hue or exposure. A blue hat can become red, with a simple slider adjustment.
ColorBlast! supports multiple undo, pan and zoom, device orientation and full screen editing.
There are lots of ways to get images in and out of ColorBlast! Any photo library image can be used. An image can be captured from the camera if your device has one. Our deep Facebook integration allows you to browse all of your photos by album. You can even browse all of your friend’s photos that have been shared with you. You can paste an image off the clipboard, allowing you to pull images out of emails or from other web locations.
When you have created a masterpiece you can SMS, e-Mail, post to a Facebook photo album or news story or just save it into the library.
