Mystical Tint Tone and Color for Mac

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.
