A retro effect often combines color shift, contrast and decorative elements. Compare the result regularly with the original image. In skin tones and dark patches a strong effect can unintentionally hide details.
Save a version without effect if you later need a more neutral look. Check the output on a larger screen before printing. The program focuses on adding an effect and does not replace extensive image correction with layers and masks.

Compare XnRetro with alternatives
For a style effect you can choose a specialized app or use a general image editor. The specialized variant requires fewer actions, while an editor gives you more control over masks and individual parts. Save the original if you want to make another operation later.

Our verdict
XnRetro fits a consciously stylized image. Use effects dosed and see if details in light and dark areas are preserved. Keep the result next to the original. If you mainly want to restore exposure, start with a regular correction instead of a vintage filter.
