The app has two goals: be dead simple to use and powerful enough to produce good-looking and effective results.

The reality of old school graphic conversions is that it can be tricky to get good results in all conditions. Low contrast or greyish images tend to be rendered as a murky mess if a straightforward downsampling is applied. 8Bit Photo Lab has a number of parameters that are key to optimizing the final look of your images. Every pixel counts when dealing with low resolution images.

Usage

Start off with one of the predefined looks (star icon) then mix and match colors, ditherings, resolutions and more until you get the effect you want.

Change a parameter and the result is immediately updated. Browse through multiple looks in an instant!

The three main parameters are resolution, palettes and dithering. Ditherings allow to simulate a larger range of colors than what the limited palette offers. Various options are offered here. Pattern dithering was often seen used in older paint software as well as the user interfaces for many operating systems. Checkerboard dithering was commonly employed in games. Error diffusion, gives the most faithful rendering.

Four parameters adjust color values for each pixel. You'll find familiar brightness, saturation and contrast settings as well as the very useful local contrast setting (also known as unsharp mask). Local contrast is very effective at bringing out detail and allowing to reduce resolution while retaining good subject definition. As an interesting side effect, reducing local contrast produces a soft focus effect which may take your art in another direction altogether. Giving saturation a boost can help make the most of some of the flashy color palettes.

Cropping will allow you to select just the part of your pic that you like. A tiny part of an image can still have enough resolution to be turned to an 8-bit picture. Even if your subject is small there is hope!

Old computers had few colors to play. They also crashed often in weird ways. Use the glitch menu (blender icon) to add mayhem to your pics. Screen melt, pixel scattering, pixel sorting, cellular automaton, block swapping, RGB offsetting, interlacing are on the menu.

Finally a good old text tool is always useful, whether you're looking to make memes, add a title or a text bubble, the app has a large selection of 8-bit fonts and borders to choose from!

该应用程序有两个目标：死了简单易用，功能强大，足以产生良好的前瞻性和有效的结果。

老派的图形转换的现实是，它可能会非常棘手得到的所有条件较好的效果。低对比度或灰图像趋向如果施加直接的下采样将被呈现为黑暗的混乱。 8位照片实验室有许多的关键是优化图片的最终外观参数。与低分辨率的图片的时候每一个像素数。

的用法的

与预定义的表情（星形图标），然后混搭色彩，ditherings，分辨率多，直到你得到你想要的效果开始。

改变一个参数，结果会立即更新。浏览多个外观在瞬间！

三个主要参数是分辨率，调色板和抖动。 Ditherings允许模拟大范围的色彩相比，有限的调色板提供什么。各种选项提供在这里。图案抖动经常在老年绘图软件，以及在许多操作系统的用户界面这么用。棋盘抖动在游戏中被普遍采用。误差扩散，给出了最忠实的呈现。

四个参数调整的颜色值对每个像素。你会发现熟悉的亮度，饱和度和对比度设置，以及非常有用的局部对比度设定（也称为USM锐化）。局部对比度是带出的细节，并允许降低分辨率，同时保持良好的主题定义是非常有效的。作为一个有趣的副作用，降低局部对比度产生可采取本领域的在另一个方向上共柔焦效果。给予饱和升压有助于充分利用一些华而不实的调色板。

剪裁可以让你选择你的PIC，你喜欢的只是一部分。图像的一小部分仍然可以有足够的分辨率被翻过以一个8位的画面。即使你的对象是小有希望！

旧电脑有几种颜色的发挥。他们还以怪异的方式往往坠毁。使用故障菜单（搅拌机图标）混乱添加到您的照片。屏幕熔体，像素散射，像素排序，元胞自动机，块交换，RGB偏移，交错是在菜单上。

最后一个很好的旧文本工具总是有用的，不管你是在寻找使迷因，添加标题或文本泡沫，应用程序有一个大的选择的8-bit字体和边框可供选择！
