Retrobatch

Hello folks! Just a quick reminder that the best way to get ahold of us is to email support@flyingmeat.com, use our online forums (forums.flyingmeat.com), or via the built in reporter under the Help menu of Acorn and Retrobatch.

Retrobatch 1.5 was just released! flyingmeat.com/retrobatch/ There’s a couple of new nodes, as well as a fix for MacOS 13 Ventura + droplets. Check out the release notes for the gory details: flyingmeat.com/retrobatch/rel…

There’s a nice review of Retrobatch by @GlennF in @macworld : macworld.com/article/799262… “Retrobatch and Retrobatch Pro remove all the effort for any imaging task that needs automation, including rules-based outcomes.”

It’s server upgrade day! As such, flyingmeat.com will be up and down a bit this afternoon.

Pst. Hey. Yea, you! Want to try a Universal Binary of Retrobatch, which will run natively on the new Apple Silicon Macs? Grab it right here: #retrobatch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flyingmeat.com/download/lates…

@ghoppe Thanks! Add a Color Adjustment ▸ Change Color Profile node before your write node. You’ll probably want to pick sRGB for the profile to use.

@retrobatch Love your app. A question! I have a bunch of JPG images with a CMYK color space I'm trying to save for web and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to save them as web JPGs. The CMYK won't go away.

Oh, and 1.4.2 introduces a new new "Truncate JPEG Data" node, which will remove empty data at the end of JPEG files which could be introduced when transferring files off of an iOS device. That one is kind of important to mention too.

Retrobatch 1.4.2 is out, a bug fix release with a couple of new features: • WebP Support • Premultiply and Unpremultiply nodes • Support for reading and writing WebP images • Altering images via JavaScript typed arrays (very cool for plugin authors) flyingmeat.com/retrobatch/

If you regularly take screenshots for any purpose (cc technical writers), don't miss @retrobatch. For repetitive edits (resizes, outlines, fades, etc.), it's miraculous. I can't even begin to estimate how much time that app has saved me. The droplets feature is 💯.

Let’s start of the new year with an update. Retrobatch 1.3.1 is out: flyingmeat.com/retrobatch/

pst- the Retrobatch 1.3 final candidate is up for testing: #retrobatch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flyingmeat.com/download/lates…

@smlombardi We’re considering it! For now, there’s a JS Plugin you can download to do this: flyingmeat.com/retrobatch/jsp… - “Convert to WebP”

@bradumbaugh We’ve added a gradient node to the latest builds! #retrobatch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flyingmeat.com/download/lates… Here’s a little screenshot on how to set it up for a alpha fade.

@retrobatch Hey Retrobatch—awesome app. Love it. Looking for a way to create a droplet that applies a gradient alpha fade to the bottom 10% (or so) of an image. Would I need to write a custom plugin to do this?

@bradumbaugh Yea- you’d need a custom plugin to do this. Though, I’m about to start work on 1.3, and I’m hoping to add a gradient node in there. Let me know if you need help writing the plugin!

@NathanJRobot Video is something I’ve thought about, but not sure the market is really there for it.

Retrobatch 1.2 is out! flyingmeat.com/retrobatch/ Animated GIF and PNG files, Droplets, Finder Tags, JavaScript plugins, and more.

@cortig Good to hear. I caught some last minute things, but most folks wouldn’t have noticed.

@retrobatch And I didn’t experience any issue with the β :-)

@cortig Thanks!

@retrobatch Great new version!!!
