Title: Any free 8 bit filters?
Post by: k_t_g on June 01, 2021, 22:50

Can anyone recommend a free filter plugin for Photoshop and for Illustrator to give my art an 8 bit look to it?
I'm sure I could make this FX with out one but I would like to not spend so much time on it.
Thanks!  :)

Do you mean to make it like pixel art? There really no automated way to do that and make it look good. It is a skillset all of its own.

I've seen one of two but you have to pay the piper. I would still like a free one though if possible.

Thanks.  :)

Example please? I have an older collection (hoard...) of 8bf filters, and I don't know what all of them do. Maybe one is nostalgia crappy graphics?  ;)
