Add an Instagram filter program to your photos in Ubuntu

Pick up your selfie stick and come with me.

 

XnRetro photo editor

XnRetro is a program that allows you to quickly add "Instagram-like" effects to your photos.

You must know what I'm talking about: scratches, noise, photo frames, overprocessing, vintage, and nostalgia (because in this era of digital travelers, we must know that endless selfies will never find ourselves nostalgic .)

Whether you think these effects are stupid art or shortcuts to creation, these filters are very popular and can help those photos to add personality.

XnRetro is a photo editing application.

 

XnRetro Functions

XnRetro has the following functions:

• 20 Color Filters
• 15 light effects (blur, leak, etc)
• 28 types of frames and edges
• 5 illustrations (with intensity control)
• Contrast, Gamma Correction, saturation, and other image adjustments
• Rectangular trim option

Adjust Lighting Effect

(Theoretically) You can save edited. jpg or. png files and share them with social media directly in the app.

I mean, theoretically, the idea is to save .jpg images that cannot work normally in linux programs (you can save. png images ). Similarly, most built-in social links are invalid or cannot be exported.

To use 15 light effects, save the. jpg file as a. png file in the 'light 'folder of XnRetro. Edit 'light. xml' to match the new file name. Click Save to load the light effect into XnRetro.

Is XnRetro worth installation?

XnRetro is not perfect. It looks very old, difficult to install correctly, and has not been updated for several years.

But it can also be used, in addition to saving. jpg files. It is also a flexible alternative to the 'normal' image adjustment tools like Gimp or Shotwell.

Web applications such as Pixlr Touch Up and Polarr provide similar features, but you may be looking for real native solutions.

It is difficult to leave XnRetro.
