Last weekend I took a sunset hike photo that looked nothing like the real thing—instead of warm pinks and oranges, it was all grayish-yellow, like someone turned down the saturation by accident. Tried fixing it with other tools first: Cutout.pro made me sign up for an account, Fotor’s free version had ads everywhere. Ugh, total waste of time.
Then I gave HitPaw FotorPea a shot—and wow, why didn’t I try this first?
Here’s how easy it was:
Dragged the dull sunset pic into HitPaw (no sign-up, no ads—bless!)
Tapped “Color Calibration” to fix that weird yellow tint
Flipped on “General Model” to boost vibrancy without overdoing itPreviewed, and boom—suddenly the sky had those soft pinks I remembered, and the grass looked green again, not gray.
I even tested it on a old black-and-white pic of my mom as a kid: picked “Colorize Model,” waited 2 seconds, and it added natural-looking colors—her blue dress, the brown of her pigtails—no cartoonish vibes at all.
Best part? You can tweak resolution too, so I made the sunset pic big enough for my phone wallpaper. Works on Mac/Windows, and the free trial lets you test everything.
