Hi! I’d like to share **CRT Retro Filter** , a free Aseprite extension that renders your pixel art through the lens of a classic CRT display.

**What it does**

- **12 independent filters** : Scanlines, Screen Curvature (convex/concave), Chromatic Aberration, Bloom/Glow, Vignette, Noise, Color Temperature, Pixelation, RGB Phosphor Mask (grille/shadow/slot), Horizontal Ripple, Interlacing Jitter, Phosphor Persistence
- **9 built-in presets** : Classic Arcade, 80s Computer, Broadcast TV, Subtle Retro, CRT Monitor, VHS Tape, Trinitron, Pixel Perfect, Heavy Glitch
- **Real-time preview** with change detection, plus **before/after compare** (hold the mouse button to peek at the original)
- **Preset Strength** slider — dial the overall effect from 0% to 100%
- **Selection support** — apply only inside the current selection
- **Apply to All Frames** — process a whole animation in one undo step
- Duplicate-layer option, custom presets, one-click Randomize, Quick Apply
- Fully **bilingual English / 中文** interface

**Install**

1. Download `crt-retro-filter-3.4.1.aseprite-extension` from the link below
2. Double-click it, or **Edit → Preferences → Extensions → Add Extension**
3. Restart Aseprite (or click **Edit → Reload Scripts** )

**Usage** : open **Edit → CRT Retro Filter** , tweak, hit Apply. Everything is grouped into a single `Ctrl+Z` undo.

**Download / Source** : [Releases · JiemouQAQ/crt-retro-filter · GitHub](https://github.com/JiemouQAQ/crt-retro-filter/releases)

This is great, going to mess around with the settings and see what I can come up with. No requests yet 🙂
