Description
Retrobatch is a flexible node based batch image processor, which means you can mix, match, and combine different operations together to make the perfect workflow.
# It's Super Charged
There’s a node for every option. Change the DPI, rotate, incorporate Machine Learning, and add custom behaviors with JavaScript to name just a few. Optimize your images for fast delivery over the Internet.
# Batch Process
Process one image or thousands of images, with support for reading and writing common file formats. Create multiple inputs and multiple outputs.
# Metadata - Edit, Add, and Wipe
• Remove and add location data such as GPS coordinates.
• Add copyright tags, author information, and more to your images.
• Remove all metadata tags prior to uploading images to social media sites.
• Filter out images based on image dimensions, megapixels, file format, or other criteria.
• Do all this, without changing and recompressing image data, keeping image fidelity 100% intact.
# Transform - Resize, Crop, Trim, and Rotate.
• Trim all transparency from the edges of images.
• Rotate images by any amount.
• Crop images by a fixed amount, percentage of width or height, anchored to edges, or by aspect ratio.
• Scale your images and write out optimized @2x versions of your images.
• Retrobatch is great for quickly preparing images for web and app development.
# Convert - Color Profiles, Formats, and More.
• Convert images to HEIC, JPEG, JPEG-XL, PDF, PNG, WebP, or TIFF.
• Rewrite HEIC images to JPEG and other formats.
• Edit, assign, or strip color profiles from your images.
• Assign Display P3 profiles to images, and write the images with a _dp3 suffix.
• Convert images to or from CMYK, sRGB, Display P3, or Grayscale.
• Brute force crush PNG files, or create indexed 8 bit PNG images.
• Split and separate multipage and multilayer images into single images.
# Watermark - Text and Images.
• Use Retrobatch to watermark your images in a variety of ways.
• Adjust watermark transparency, blending mode, and placement.
• Use metadata tags to watermark, including image capture date, file name, author, and many more.
# Photo Effects, Filters, and Blurs.
• Apply filters such as Film Grain, Grayscale, Chrome, Fade, Instant, Mono, Noir, Process, Sepia, Tonal, and Transfer.
• Add borders and drop shadows to your images.
• Add gaussian or box blurs.
• Remove noise from photos, or use sharpen filters.
• Use the matte node to remove transparency from images.
• Invert color negatives or create color negatives.
# Machine Learning and Super Resolution
• Super-resolution image scaling, powered by alien technology nobody really understands.
• Auto-straighten images with the new Auto Level node.
• Recognize text in images and filter images using the Rules node or via JavaScript.
• Use rules to remove images from your workflow based on attributes such as color profile, file format, size, and orientation.
• Take advantage of machine learning to classify your image for processing.
# JavaScript and Automation
• Run Retrobatch workflows via Shortcuts.
• Create and distribute custom plug-ins written in JavaScript.
• Write scripts to extract or alter meta-data.
• Use Core Image and Cocoa APIs to draw custom watermarks or borders on your images.
# Screenshots, Symlinks, Clipboard.
• Watch the clipboard and automatically run a workflow when a new image is copied to it.
• Create a workflow to capture all the open windows on your Mac, and write them out as individual PNGs, or a multilayered PSD.
• Export all your Selfies from Photos, resize, and apply filters.
• Split out images from animated GIFs, PNGs, multipage TIFF files, PDF pages, and ICNS files into individual images.
• Read an image from the clipboard, apply a drop shadow, and write it right back to the clipboard to paste into another app.
• Read an image from the clipboard, add a watermark, and write it out to a folder to upload to an online service.

What’s New
Version 2.2
# New Stuff
* New CSV Reader node. This fantastic node will read in a CSV file and produce an image for each row. You can then use that data to populate a template with text and images, and then even use the Write Images node to output the image to a specific file name. You can follow along with a quick little tutorial in our documentation to learn all about this node.
* New Dynamic Image node. This is a fun node which will allow you to overlay images to templates using the above CSV reader node, or with custom JavaScript. Visit our technote on the topic (RBTN005) for more information.
* The Trim to Edges node now has a "Trim All Transparent Edges" option, which will prune out all transparent edges of your image, and not just to the first opaque pixel. So if you rotate an image, and then use this node after it, there will be no transparent pixels left along the edges of your image.
# Other Stuff
* Fixed a problem where 1 bit TIFF files might not being written correctly.
* Fixed a problem where SVG files were being allowed into workflows on macOS 12 (SVG rendering is only on macOS 13+).
* Fixed an issue with the Shell Script node where it wouldn't always pass the image path as an argument to the script.
* The "Quit Retrobatch" node now waits a second before quitting the app if you have enabled the preference to play a sound when a workflow ends.
* Added a bunch more IPTC extension tags for the Set Specific Metadata node.
* Fixed an issue where there were scrollers always present on the canvas when you had the System Setting "Show scroll bars" set to always.
Ratings and Reviews
Doesn't launch on Sonoma 14.2
Hello. I love Acorn, and so I wanted to try Retrobatch. Unfortunately, it won't launch for me. M2 Max/Mac OS 14.2
Three stars because I haven't been able to try it yet, despite purchasing.
