The “editor” part in this application’s name refers to the fact that this Zxretrosoft product is a graphic editor – a tool that can edit BMP, JPG, or PNG images. The “retro” part in this application’s name refers to the fact that this Zxretrosoft product can give images a retro feel. Using RetroEditor for this purpose is a very simple matter. Load an image into the application, pick a conversion option, click Start Conversion, and that’s it. The image you loaded into the application now has an interesting retro look.

RetroEditor is a portable tool. To get it up and running, you do not need to complete an installation process. Oh no. To get it up and running, you need only run an executable. It must be mentioned here that Zxretrosoft offers a RetroEditor executable for 32-bit versions of Windows and another executable for 64-bit versions of Windows.

RetroEditor has a dual-pane interface. Load an image into the application and it will be displayed by the panel on the left hand side. Click Start Conversion and the converted image will be displayed by the panel to the right. Before you click on Start Conversion, you can pick one of multiple conversion presets, go through several effects, enable a grid, and play with a few other options. All these options are presented at the top of RetroEditor’s interface.

Using RetroEditor, as you can see from the Quick Look video that accompanies this article, is a very simple 3-step process:
Step 1 – load an image into RetroEditor; load a palette into RetroEditor.
Step 2 – pick a conversion option, enable a grid, select an effect, and more.
Step 3 – launch the conversion and wait for it to complete. If you’re happy with the resulting image, save it.

RetroEditor is free software. It is one of several products that Zxretrosoft offers for the great price of free. If you like any of these products, show your support and make a donation.

RetroEditor works as advertised. In just a few simple steps, it can give images an interesting retro feel.

Pros

RetroEditor does not have to be installed; that makes the application portable. RetroEditor has a dual-pane interface that presents a nice before-and-after view. There are lots of conversion options to choose from. Using RetroEditor is a simple 3-step process. RetroEditor is free software (donations are welcome).

Cons

None that I could think of.
