Color Effects
This is a free app that allows you to create dramatic images by removing colours or changing them entirely.
How to use it: Use your finger as a brush (can change the size of the brush) to colour in the sections of the image you want to be black and white and colour.
To remove the watermark, you can rate the app. Or, just screenshot the picture on your phone and crop it out.
In this pic, everything but the food is coloured.
Adobe Spark (a Tonic favourite)
This is a great free app for content creation. Time to delete Word Swag and replace it with this! You can create beautiful graphics, web stories and animated videos in minutes. Features include:
– a bunch of cool templates in case you’re not feeling inspired
– for graphics, you can resize the graphic for different social media platforms and change the theme, colour palette background, and text. Tip – share the graphic on Facebook or Twitter once and the watermark will be removed
– when creating a web story, you can include photos, text, button, and videos
– for videos, choose from a story template or start from scratch. You can insert icons, texts, and photos, add music, and change the layout of each slide
