Retrobatch overview

Retrobatch is a flexible batch image processing tool.

  • Flexible: A node based batch image processor means you can mix, match, and combine different operations together to make the perfect workflow.
  • Super Charged: A node for every operation, from changing DPI to rotation to Machine Learning to custom behaviors with AppleScript. Optimize your images for fast delivery over the Internet.
  • Batch: Process one image or thousands of images, with support for reading and writing common file formats, creating multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

What’s new in version 2.3.1

  • The “Delete Metadata” node will now always cause a re-encoding of TIFF and PNG images. This is necessary because there’s no clean way to delete all the metadata of these files without a re-encoding of the image. JPEG images will continue not to be re-encoded.
  • The Get Selected Finder Images node will now check with the Finder every 10 seconds to see if the selected images have changed, which will, in turn, update the previews. You can also force an update by using the File ▸ Preflight menu (⌘K).
  • Fixed a problem where the Dither filter wouldn’t work correctly with gray profile images. Also added support for CMYK while I was in there.
  • Fixed a problem where Retrobatch wouldn’t properly clean up disk files when converting to JPEG-XL.
  • Fixed a problem where Retrobatch wouldn’t let you open up folders from the File ▸ Open… menu.
  • Fixed a problem where “Keep original and modified dates” wouldn’t work if you had the “Write back to original images” option enabled in the Write node.
  • No longer bugs you to pick a write folder for a Write node on open, when you have the “Write back to original images” option enabled.

Retrobatch makes batch image processing very easy with its node-based setup—where each "node" represents a specific action (like resizing or adding watermarks) that you can chain together—once you get the hang of it, it’s a huge time saver for organizing, converting, and refining either a single or tons of images at once. It’s also a very well-engineered app, created by the same developer behind the popular Acorn image editor. Great purchase!
