Coloured with the ColourDesigner

Brief Instruction

1. Select an available picture using the thumbnail view.
2. Select the picture area to be colourised either directly in the picture or in the mask list.
3. Select the colour system and the colour. If the colour appears to be too light or dark it can be adjusted using the lightness controls.

Preparation of Personal Pictures for the Program

You can prepare your own pictures for colorizing. For that you have to mask the areas that you want to colorize later on. The masking can be done in any image editing software like Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, GIMP, Corel Photo-Paint, PicturePublisher...

Please refer the detailed instructions.

We also offer to do the preparation for you for a low-price .

Why does the Window not contain any Masking Tools?

The integration of professional masking tools would have exceeded reasonable expenses. However there are numerous programs, even those in the freeware arena, that can take over this task. It would have been easy to realise an automatic masking based on colour similarities, but the program would have never functioned satisfactorily. Imagine the mundane case of a house facade with the shadow of a tree. How should the program “know“ if the shadow is a part of the facade and should be uniformly coloured in, or if it is a separate darker surface (plinth, windowsill, or similar)?
