Use Cases

Examples

1. Creating a Vintage Sepia Effect

Graphic Designer
Background
A designer needs to make modern photos look like historical archives for a website banner.
Problem
The photos look too sharp and modern, lacking the desired historical atmosphere.
How to Use
Upload the photo, select a warm sepia hex color (e.g., #704214), and set the intensity to 0.4.
Example Config
tintColor: #704214, tintIntensity: 0.4
Outcome
The image receives a soft, warm vintage wash that blends perfectly with the historical theme.

2. Brand Color Consistency

Social Media Manager
Background
A brand uses a specific shade of blue as part of its visual identity.
Problem
User-generated content varies in color temperature and doesn't match the brand's feed.
How to Use
Upload the image, input the brand's hex code, and set a low intensity of 0.2 to subtly unify the colors.
Example Config
tintColor: #0056b3, tintIntensity: 0.2
Outcome
All images now share a subtle blue undertone, creating a professional and consistent look across the social media profile.
