Retrobatch For Mac

When working with photos on a daily basis, you need a powerful tool to process large batches of images as fast as possible to use your time to snap even more content with your trusty camera.

Even though you can use the inbuilt Preview to perform some batch image processing tasks such as scaling, rotating, flipping, and color adjustment, it will not be able to help if you need more advanced features such as a metadata editing, cropping, watermarking, or image effects.

Retrobatch is an app specifically designed to provide you with all the tools you need neatly packed within a node-based user interface.

Moreover, the Retrobatch utility is designed to help you create complex workflows just like the ones you can build using Apple's Automator app, the only difference being that you use processing nodes instead of Automator actions.

Upon start, the Retrobatch application enables you to use a previously created batch workflow, to create a new one, or launch one of the pre-defined templates.

Retrobatch comes with a three-pane interface which enables you to start making new image processing workflows quickly or use the ones you previously created to batch process huge collections of images, containing anything from one to thousands of files.

You can add new processing nodes to the currently loaded workflow either by drag and dropping them onto the workflow area in the middle of the window or by choosing one from the "Add Node" right-click contextual menu.

It's important to mention that most processing nodes you can add to your batch workflow have a set of options that can be customized to match your needs via the panel on the right side of the work area.

Retrobatch can help you perform almost any type of image process task you can think of, from editing metadata and transforming your photos using trim, crop, resize, and rotate actions, to watermarking, adding image effects, and converting them, all of it with a simple click of a button, once you arrange the nodes in the order you want.

Retrobatch also comes with support for speedy sorting and classification using machine learning, for automation via AppleScript and custom shell scripts, as well as for Folder Actions for instant processing once you add new photos to any monitored folder.

In a nutshell, Retrobatch is designed as the swiss army knife of image processing for Mac users who need a simple to use yet potent full-featured app to rapidly process large batches of photos as fast as possible.
