How to make a picture "pale" for Tumblr?

[Jessica]

So I just made a pale blog, but I don't want to reblog as much as post my own pictures. Is there any app that makes pictures pale? An IPhone or app for your laptop is fine. Please help!




P.S. I'd appreciate a follow on my other grunge/hipster blog: khameleon-soul.tumblr.com
I'll follow back from my main blog!

So basically pale pictures just have a filter that make them light. Most pictures tend to have small phrases and some just have hearts on them. Any light filter should work. Pictures of mountains, flowers, hipster clothes, usually work.

Whatever you do, don't let your pictures outside. ANY exposure to the sun will cause your pictures to immediately lose any pale they have saved up. Lock them in the dark until they are pale enough to your liking. Then you can post them on your blog.

I usually edit the contrast to be lower and the brightness to be higher. A good editor to do this on would be https://pixlr.com/express/

Hope I helped!

You can see the HTML that she used by opening her tumblr page and then clicking "source" or "page source" in the view menu (depending on what browser you're using).

She used CSS styles to produce the effect:

.photo img{
align:center;
border:5px solid #866057;
margin-bottom:6px;
filter:alpha(opacity=60);
-moz-opacity:0.6;
-khtml-opacity: 0.6;
opacity: 0.6;}
.photo:hover img{
border-color:#997a6e;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
-moz-opacity:1.0;
-khtml-opacity: 1.0;
opacity: 1.0;}
.photo a:hover img{
border-color:#997a6e;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
-moz-opacity:1.0;
-khtml-opacity: 1.0;
opacity: 1.0;}
