Romantic Photo - Mac Info

The interface for Mac is very simple. The way to start is to either drag and drop your image onto the main window or choose the "Get Photo" button to load your image. On the right window is where you adjust your picture to look unique. "Style" is where you will pick the general look as well as a variety of presets to choose from. "Adjust" is where you can fine tune the controls and customize the settings. "Vignette" is used to add a soft edge to your image. If you hit the "Dice" button on the upper right it will randomly pick a preset and apply it to your image. This is the fastest way to see what Romantic Photo looks like applied to your photo. Of course the presets (Styles) are just a start, adjusting the controls will give you a lot of power in order to get your own unique and custom looks. After playing with the control and you like what you have created go to the "File" menu and choose "Save Preset" to save your unique look. By saving a preset this will allow you to apply it to other photographs or to adjust it at a future date. To retreive your saved preset go to "Style" and look for it amongst the other presets.

1. Get Photo or Drag & Drop Photo

Once you have launched the app click on the camera icon to "Get Photo" - a standard dialog window will come up - use this to navigate to the place you store you pictures on your computer. The easiest way to open a photo is to first open your picture folder then drag and drop the images on to Vintage Scene.

2. Change Style Presets

Pressing the "Style" button will present to you a menu with a list of romantic styles. The styles are divided into eleven categories with presets under each title. Choosing a preset will apply these attributes to your image.

Presets are predetermined attributes applied to your photo and can be modified later by going to the "Adjust" button. To save a custom preset use the "Save" button then "Save Preset". To delete a preset, use the edit button found on the lower left corner of the "Preset" menu.

3. Erase and Restore Brushes

Get Photo: Loads a photo from your desktop or hard drive.

Erase Rain: Brushes off rain in unwanted areas.

Restore: Brushes the removed rain back on.

Brush Size: Changes the brush diameter of the "Erase Rain and Restore" brushes.

Brush Strength: Changes the opacity of both brushes. If you want to lighten the rain in areas like a persons face, move the slider left then erase without removing the rain completely. This works for the restore brush as well.

Reset Brush: You can find a "Reset Brush" option in the file menu that will restore the rainy scene to how is was before you started brushing on or off the rain. This is a good way to start the brushing process over without effecting your settings.

4. Adjust

The second button on the main screen is “Adjust”. This is where you can fine tune each of the romantic filters to give your image a unique look. After selecting the “Adjust” button you can fine-tune the sliders for each effect - the preview will change when you let go of the slider or control (on the iPhone/iPad you can tap anywhere off to the side of the controls to hide them). Most of the controls are pretty straight forward with exception to "Romantic Color" which I'll explain in more detail below

Radomize (Dice Icon)

The easiest and quickest way use "Romantic Colors" is by touching the randomize button above the color slider (blue dice icon). We've developed a unique algorithm that picks out all the prominate colors from your picture, then brings them forward one at a time as you cycle through them using the randomize button.

Colors

This is the manual way to pull the individual color from your photo. By moving the slider across the color spectrum you can isolate specific colors and bring them forward.

Color Variation

Increasing the slider brings out more of the selected color in your photo. If you notice areas of color you do not want move the slider left to reduce these areas.

Tone

Move the slider right to increase the amount of color added to the image. Choose any color with the color box.

Color Strength

Moving the slider right will bring out more of the original color.

Remember, that when the “Adjust” controls screen is up you just have to tap anywhere on iphone and iPad to get it to go away.

5. Vignette

This button will allow you to add a soft vingette to your romantic photo. Swipe left and right to scroll through the choices then tap to see the vignette applied to your image. Use the strength slider to decrease the opacity of the vignette and change the vignette color from black to white by tapping the color boxes on the right.

6. Save

VintageScene creations can be saved to to your computer by going to the "File" menu, then to "Save Photo".

Save Preset

A preset is a recording of all attributes used to create your vintage scene. When a preset is saved it can be found on the "VintageScene" preset menu. Presets can be used at a later date and will allow you to apply the saved effect to a new photo and modify it.

Save Photo

VintageScene creations can be saved to to your computer by going to the "File" menu, then to "Save Photo".

7. Original Photo

The original photo can be seen by touching the Original button. This is very helpful for seeing the before and after effect.

8. Manage Presets

You can save your own custom preset by going to the "Save" button then choosing the "Save Preset" option off the list. To delete a preset, use the blue edit button (+) found on the lower right of the presets panel. Delete individual presets by clicking on the red delete button.
