Many of us like tweaking our pictures every now and then by adding effects to them. Some of the most commonly used effects which are available with image editing applications include Sepia, Greyscale and Negative. While these effects can be easily applied to images, it can be hard to colorize only a selected area where effects like Sepia, Grayscale or Negative have already been applied. Leaf is an image editing application which lets you colorize only selected parts of an image with a Sepia, Greyscale or Negative effect. The first part of the process includes selecting a preferred effect followed by dragging the image over the interface. Unlike most image editing applications, Leaf allows you to first add the selected effect to the image and then to remove it from selected areas of the image. Your transformed images can be saved in PNG, GIF, JPG and BMP and PDF format. Read More
