Enhance your photos online for free

I have just published a new Picture to People online software. It's a free color enhancer for photos.

It's very easy to use, fast and very handy. You just need to select the kind of color scheme you want and set the level of color improvement. Choosing a low enhancement level helps you to get a fine grain improvement.

As a plus, you can enhance the detail level of your photo, and it also has a nice increase control. You should just take care when using this option, because it can make the photo flaws more visible.

Below I show you a photo with very poor colors, and a improved one created by using our free Online Photo Color Enhancer.

Faster online sketch effects for photos

I keep doing a hard work concerning the optimization of low level Picture to People libraries.

I'm a little worried about a bad collateral effect coming from these improvements: a lot of source codes become much harder to understand and maintain. Anyway, I hope the speed increase pays off this undesirable consequence.

More photo effects already got faster, including the sketch photo effects and other related ones. Bellow you can see a photo and a related detailed pencil drawing produced online. It was created by using the Realistic Pencil Sketch Photo Effect and now this one can be generated 10% faster after the optimizations I already made.

Watercolor photo effect online (faster than ever)

I'm making a very hard work to optimize some Picture to Picture core libraries. I have already spend several days and nights making this very important task.

Most of P2P code is already fast, but I want to achieve a new level of high speed, so I will be able to dream about publishing new complex text and photo effects online.

This job will take some more weeks. Optimizing complex code is very tricky, and some algorithms need to be modified. Anyway, I'm already getting good results.

The Watercolor Painting Photo Effect uses several of the libraries under improvement and already is 10% faster in average. Bellow I show you a photo and a watercolor painting created by using the online software. The creation of this paint took 11% less time than before.

The 3D graffiti text maker online was improved

After some hard work, I overcame a not very big, but very bothering bug in the online graffiti text generator.

As you can see in this graffiti text, there was a style of back drawing that generated some wrong artifacts in the outer borders.

This problem was happening because my directional curve expansion was wrong. I created an almost totaly new algorithm and now I suppose the process is correct. Below you see the same graffiti text generated by using the newer calculations.

Just as a final tip, despite I created above a shallow graffiti, this online graffiti generator offers a fine control over the text deepness. Below I show you a deep 3d graffiti text (the same configuration, but using the maximum text deepness).
