Filtron For Mac

Most photos need at least some editing work after they are captured, but not all users have the required expertise to perform the necessary alterations. Filters, however, are an easy way to enhance your pictures and correct any imperfections.

Filtron is an OS X app that capitalizes on this concept and seeks to make it as easy as possible for users to find, create and share filters with others. iOS users can also take advantage of the Filtron mobile app to sync their filters across multiple devices.

The most noteworthy feature offered by the application is its filter sharing service, which enables you to download filters created by other users and upload any creations of your own. Items can be sorted based on date or popularity, and you can also search for new ones based on their name or uploader.

To create your own filters, you can add multiple layers to adjust lighting and colors or add various visual effects.

You can add multiple filters at once and adjust their intensity, enabling you to combine numerous visual effects.

However, images can only be saved as JPG files, and no compression settings can be modified. While this may not be a problem for novices, experienced photographers might find this too restricting.

Visually, Filtron is quite impressive. The interface has a modern, sleek design, and the color theme is well chosen.

However, there are a few problems that need to be dealt with. For starters, it is not possible to move or resize the filter browser panel and, as a result, navigating through all the available items is quite difficult. Also, only a portion of the image is displayed in the before and after preview.

Moreover, while a zoom function is available, it only offers one preset value, and horizontal panning is not possible.

Filtron is a suitable app for amateur photographers or those who simply want to create filters with little effort and share them with others. However, it does have a couple of design flaws and offers no advanced editing or exporting capabilities.
