Blackmagic program, anyone tried it?

[Man of Kent]

I have found info on a program called Blackmagic, has anyone on the list tried it.?
It claims to be an easy option for adding colour to B/W images.

Hi Man of Kent

Sorry never heard of it till 2 minutes ago, since then I have downloaded a trial version and will give it a bash later.

Just to add to Janes comment in your other posting "WELCOME TO ROOTSCHAT"

Just had to try it

Shame the trial version will not let you save or I would have uploaded the picture I have coloured in 5 minutes. With a bit of practice it should result in some pleasing pictures maybe not up to Vikki or Kizmiaz standards.

Maybe taking a snapshot of the unsave imageable, will allow you to progress

Hi

Just been playing with Black Magic. It will produce some OK results for those that want a quick dabble and don't want to put the hours in learning Photoshop etc. My 1 criticism was the slow reactivity of the brush. I kept taking my pen off the pad and dragging colour all over the picture.Very frustrating. For the same reason I could not be as accurate with the brush and wobbled all over the edges. May be with practice I would get used to it.

Of course I didn't bother to read the instructions but the colours were a bit vivid for me even though I did work out how to reduce the pressure. Its a shame I couldn't save it for comparison. It was quite a nice result. It will be worth having another go but I think I will persevere with Photoshop in the long run.

Thanks for pointing out its existence it was worth a look.
