## Description

Color Effects - Photo Editor lets you dramatically recolor photos, removing colors or changing them entirely. Gray out the background to spotlight your subject, or transform skies, hair, and objects with a few brushstrokes.

Key features include importing from camera or gallery, precise recolor with brush size and transparency, automatic edge correction, zoom, undo levels, saving to your photo library, and easy sharing to Email and major social networks.

## Review summary

Reviews show a split: the app’s recolor tool is appealing and fun, and users appreciate the option to edit by taking or selecting photos. However, reliability issues dominate: frequent crashes and gray/blank screens when editing; color changes frequently don’t apply or turn gray; intrusive ads and watermarking disrupt workflow; monetization and purchase restoration problems frustrate users; and loading/editing can require granting Full Access to Photos, which isn’t clearly explained. Overall, promise is overshadowed by stability and billing concerns.

### Pros

- Fun, creative recolor/editing feature that many users enjoy.
- Enhances photos and helps highlight people or details in pictures.
- Allows taking a new photo or selecting an existing one to edit.
- Overall positive potential; users say it’s great when it works.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, freezes, and grey/blank screens that break editing sessions.
- Ads are intrusive and the final image may carry a watermark; difficulties restoring purchases.
- Paid recolor model is confusing or unreliable; users report being charged and unable to restore pro features.
- Color recoloring often does not work correctly (colors turn gray/white or don’t match the chosen color).
- Loading photos can fail or show blank screens; granting Full Access to Photos is often required and not clearly communicated.
