RetroEditor

RetroEditor is a lightweight, yet reliable program that allows you to easily turn your photos into retro looking pieces of art. The application can apply a series of filters and make your pictures look like old 8-bit or 16-bit computers display. Moreover, it offers you a series of image adjustment tools.

All the photo filters can be found under the “Convert to…” menu, which allows you to select from amongst several styles. The software can apply several filters to images, in order to make them resemble games, consoles’ displays, old computers or vintage posters. The color palette used in applying the filter is displayed in a dedicated strip, at the bottom of the window.

The software can display the path of the photo you loaded, as well as the original size and the name of the filter that is currently applied. You may add several photo enhancing effects, as well as resize the resulting image to the desired resolution. You can easily save the modified image to your computer, in the same format as the input.

RetroEditor supports manipulating BMP,JPG and PNG file formats and maintains the input file type to the resulting image. You may add dithering effects, contrast priority, color differentiation, RGB equivalent colors, saturation, light setting or change the dominant color. Moreover, you can modify the color priority for the RGB scheme, by selecting the dominant color.

The process of applying photo filters is quick and a progression bar indicates its evolution. All you need to do is load the input picture and click Start Conversion.

RetroEditor is user friendly and allows you to quickly apply retro looking filters to your images. The software can create the best effects when working with clear images, that do not feature areas of color gradients. You can load several picture formats and save the resulting image in the same file type.
