ColorStrokes
ColorStrokes is a photo editing application developed by MacPhun (now Skylum) that specializes in selective color effects and artistic photo manipulation. The app allows users to convert photos to black and white while keeping specific areas in full color, create color splash effects, and apply various artistic filters and brushes to enhance images. It was popular among photographers and casual users who wanted to create dramatic visual effects without needing complex photo editing skills. ColorStrokes offered an intuitive interface with preset effects and manual selection tools for creating striking color contrast images.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionColorStrokes appears to be discontinued and no longer actively maintained by Skylum (formerly MacPhun), with no Apple Silicon native version available. For a modern native alternative, consider using Pixelmator Pro, which offers excellent selective color editing tools, color splash effects, and advanced photo manipulation features with full Apple Silicon optimization. Pixelmator Pro provides similar creative controls with a more modern interface and regular updates. Alternatively, Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop offer selective color editing capabilities if you prefer subscription-based professional tools, though they may be more complex than the original ColorStrokes workflow.
