Add Partial Color Effect to Images: Leaf by Bendigo:

Leaf is an easy-to-use free software wherein, you can colorize pictures in a rather fun way. Although there are various freeware that carry out this simple task of coloring pictures, however, the thing which makes Leaf different from others is its ability to color a picture partially. For example, let’s say you have an picture in color, and you want to convert a portion of that picture to Grayscale. With Leaf we can bring about this change.

With Leaf, you can start off with your image already in Grayscale, Sepia or negative and subsequently colorize the image. Leaf is generally operated through a popup menu which can be called upon through clicking the right button of your mouse. While in touch-screen PCs, you need to hold your finger on the screen for a few seconds and doing this will make the menu appear.

How to download Leaf:

  • Head over to the website
  • Click on “download”
  • Click on “Run”
  • The installer then downloads the Leaf installation set-up

However, you are required to “Restart” you system in order to access Leaf. After restarting, click on the Leaf icon, popup menu will get opened. Here is how to use Leaf:
