Color Splash Pro
Color Splash Pro is a photo editing app for macOS that specializes in selective colorization — the technique of desaturating a photo to grayscale while preserving color in specific areas you paint or select. The app is commonly used by photographers, artists and hobbyists to create dramatic emphasis effects, draw attention to key subjects, or produce artistic transformations. It offers both brush-based and selection-based tools, layer support, and integration with macOS photo libraries.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about Color Splash Pro or confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. If you rely on this app, contact the developer directly to ask whether they have shipped or plan to ship a native build, since the Intel-only version will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than 27 months away. In the meantime, you can verify the current architecture of your installed copy by opening Activity Monitor, searching for "Color Splash Pro", and checking whether it shows as "Apple" (native) or "Intel" (Rosetta). If it is Intel-only and you need alternatives, consider Pixelmator Pro, Affinity Photo, or Adobe Photoshop — all run natively on M-series Macs and support selective color and similar creative effects, though they are broader photo editors rather than single-purpose colorization tools.
