Retrographer is BIG! With over 1,100 preset camera settings to choose from with millions of possible combinations means you'll never have to buy another camera ever again to re-create these amazing effects! Retrographer features seven different tabbed sections of the GUI interface to create and fine tune the plug-in effects. It's all here!:

Authentic effects
Mister Retro based the design of Retrographer on how real cameras, processing labs and finishing studios work to give you the most authentic vintage photography looks possible

Perfect photo finishing
Once you have the perfect image, frame it up with an awesome array of framing styles including film stock, wet transfer, classic snapshot, slides and decorative frames and so much more

Lens effects
What good is a camera without a great lens? The Lens tab is loaded with so many amazing lens effects that Mister Retro had to create sections within it!:

Lens focus effects
Dive in to our powerful suite of focus tools to create amazing tilt-shift effects, bokeh style focus effects, diffusion blurs and more. Additionally, you can customize the shape and the exact placement of the focus with the simple to use focus editor

Lens gel effects
Want to add some color your image? Just add a color gel and tweak it to the hilt with complete control over the colors, position and the shape of every gel you apply

Lens distortion effects
No vintage camera would be complete without special lens effects. Create tons of happy accidents with realistic chromatic lens aberrations, image ghosting and the ever classic fisheye

Flash effects
Every camera needs an equally nice flash and this one is the king! With thousands of cameras and lenses at your disposal, nothing beats a rock-solid flash and Retrographer has got plenty!:

Flash styles
Control the color of not only the flash but the hotspot within. Choose from several amazing flash styles and adjust the size and direction of your flash for a slick result or use a flood flash to fill an image with brilliant flash colors

Flash hotspot effects
A hallmark of camera flashes is the classic flash hotspot that accentuates the center of wherever the flash is pointed. Retrographer's flash hotspot is no different and you can adjust its color, intensity, size and edge independently of the flash

Film effects
You've got the full camera outfit, now it's time to put it on the perfect film. And, what's a camera without film? Useless! So, Mister Retro has provided the tools for you to create an unlimited range of film stocks and looks complete with realistic film grain you can tweak to your heart's content:

Film tone
With a full range of films from black and white to tonal stocks to choose from, each with its own grain and levels, you'll blush when you discover that every film stock you can imagine fits in one tiny section

Film grain
Nothing makes a vintage photograph look more authentic than film grain and Retrographer gives you an infinite variety of options to create or match original film types

Lab effects
Once you've created the perfect photograph, there's nothing like having your own personal photo lab to make it perfect:

Lab image effects
Just like a real photo lab, Mister Retro wants you to have full control of all aspects of your image from the exposure to the color adjustment including super saturate for a stunning neon look

Lab processing effects
There isn't a cool looking processing effect you can think of that Retrographer can't re-create with exacting precision! Explore a full range of cross and push processing styles and color lab toning to add an amazing vintage technicolor or lomo look

Special effects
Mister Retro knew you'd want to enhance your images with even more authentic vintage photography special effects, so they created a section just for them:

Vignette effects
Give your images simple yet powerfully dramatic vignetting with the suite of vignette tools to adjust the size, shape and color of your vignette

Light leak effects
Create authentic dynamic light leaks with Retographer! Mister Retro has created a fantastic assortment of different light leak styles you can apply to your images with completed control over the color, intensity, size and orientation

Halftone effects
While its not an effect you can create with a camera, nothing says vintage photography like the tactile look of halftone offset printing. Retrographer comes with an authentic and powerful set of halftone tools in CMYK and spot color halftoning you're gonna flip over!

Finish effects
After your perfect photograph has been created, it's time for some expert photographic finishing to turn your photographic dreams in to reality:

Surface effects
Retrographer comes with a ton of authentic surfaces to apply your images to including vintage paper, cardstocks, metals, textiles and tactile surfaces to give your images added dimension

Aging effects
Nothing says old photographs like distressed, damaged, cracking and peeling emulsion photos that have been left in a damp basement or hot attic! Now, you can avoid the funky smells and all that waiting with Retrographer's amazing suite of fully adjustable aging and weathering tools

Framing effects
Not only can you apply tons of amazing effects to your images, but you can finish 'em up with Retrographer's fantastic framing effects including film stock, wet transfer, classic snapshot, slides, decorative frames and tons more to create images you would swear were the originals
