Hey PH fam! 👋
I’m Anmol, and I built Dual Shades as a weekend project to help creators easily get that “color-pop” effect without Photoshop. Originally, I wanted to add monetization and authentication, but decided to go lean and launch first — just to see how it resonates.
I’d love your feedback, ideas, and support! 🙌
Try it out at dual-shades.anmolagrawal.dev and tell me how you’d use it or improve it!

Interesting, I am trying it now because I used to work in the Photography field.
I can see that colours are very subtle in the BW. Usually, when we wanna leave something to pop up, we have the part of the image in more saturated, vibrant colours. Will there be any customisation like increasing saturation / vibrant level?

@busmark_w_nika Thanks so much for trying it out — and great to hear that you have a photography background! 🎯
You’re absolutely right — boosting the subject’s saturation or vibrancy can really enhance that “pop” effect. I kept it subtle by default to avoid overprocessing, but yes — adding a customization slider for saturation/vibrancy is something I’m actively considering.
Appreciate the feedback — it really helps shape what comes next 🙌

Honestly, this is such a cool idea—love that I can get that dramatic color-pop look without wrestling with complicated software. Super handy for quick edits, and the fact that it’s free is just icing on the cake.

@joey_zhu1 Really glad you liked it! 😊
That was exactly the goal — make the color-pop effect accessible without needing heavy tools or editing skills.
And yes, keeping it free (for now) felt right to get it in more hands. Appreciate the support! 🙌
Who knew a weekend project could out-edit my hours in Photoshop? This is the cheat code for instant cinematic shots. ✨ (Though fair warning - garbage in, garbage out! Quality photos = stunning results.) Huge congratulations on your launch!

@rani_zagita Haha I love this! 😂
“Cheat code for instant cinematic shots” is officially my favorite description now. Totally agree - clean inputs make all the difference.

@himanshu_jain33 Wow, thank you so much, that truly means a lot! 🙌
Wasn’t expecting this kind of love for a weekend project. I hadn’t thought about adding a support link yet, but your comment makes me seriously consider it.
Might just spin up a Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee soon, and I’ll definitely update the site if I do.
Thanks again! 💛
Just tried DualShades and I'm seriously impressed! The way it turns the background black and white while keeping the subject in color really makes the photo pop. Super easy to use and the results look professional. Great job to the team behind this! 👏🎨
