38 great special effects for your photos

Let’s face it, some of the pictures you take are pretty dull and could do with a little spicing up. Likewise, some of the best snaps you take are worth tinkering with to accentuate their quality. Mystical Tint Tone and Color offers a diverse collection of artsitic filters that can be used a stand-alone application or in any imaging app that supports Photoshop-compatible plug-ins.

One of my favourite things about MTTC is that most of the adjustments you make can be applied globally, focused on a particular area or interactively painted onto the image, giving you complete control over your works of art. In terms of the effects themselves, there are plenty to choose from, ranging from Antique Photo to Washed Out. Unfortunately the filters aren’t organized into themed categories, but they are loosely divided into three general areas – tint, tone and colour (hence the name of the program – clever, eh?)

The concept of the program is to achieve targeted end results based upon each particular filter. However, the good thing about MTTC is that you can combine several filters in order to achieve different effects or take your graphical creations in another direction.

Mystical Tint Tone and Color is a suite of 38 color effects that are both easy to use and provide you with professional results in seconds. The effects are applied by brushing on or removing the effect from the desired area.

Mystical Tint Tone and Color provides the professional an efficient workflow for combining multiple editing steps into a simple dynamic interface with unlimited undo and redo, layers, visual presets and a robust set of tools. Mystical Tint Tone and Color includes a stand-alone imaging application as well as a plug-in that works with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro and Corel Draw.
