Make It Retro
With all the apps for manipulating iPhone photos, the images on your computer may be feeling left out.
Now there’s a website called Make Retro that gives you the feel of popular iPhone photo apps, such as Hipstamatic. Just upload a JPEG, PNG, or BMP file to the site, choose from the dropdown list of effects, and you’re done! If you like the results, use your Web browser’s Save As command.
The effects include Lomo, chrome, Diana/Holga/toy, and Vintage, with further choices in each effects category.
Below is an original, unmanipulated photo, followed by four examples of Make Retro’s effects.
