Thanks, this is marvelous as it is. I already used quite some times and it always gives excellent results. As an idea for future features I'd propose: 1) support predefined window size or -geometry option (linux)
./crtview -geometry 1200x800+100+100
it'd be good to take series of images 2) support to change brightness, saturation.
But both of these can be done post editing so not even that necessary.
Nice work doing this, is actually pretty good and I really like the filter but, I just have one question, how I download an image I uploaded into the filter?
I'm using a Mac, so I don't think using the F8 works.
If you can help me with that I would really appreciate it! :D
There is no built in way to save a still image, you just have to make a screengrab of it. Only animated gifs can be exported with F8, but I haven't tried it on mac so it might not work (in theory it should though)
Currently the only way is to take a screengrab and save that. With version 1.3, when displaying an animated gif you can export an animation by pressing F8. But for still images, you still have to take a screengrab
I guess it is in whatever is the current path when you run it. Might be where the .exe is or where the image is. It only saves a gif if you are displaying an animated gif though, not if you are displaying a still image png/jpg
Hello, thank you for making this available for everyone! I have one question: I built it on my mac successfully but dragging files on the .exe, dock or opened app isn't working for me at all. Can I use the terminal to input a command so it will open an image from there? If so, do you know which one? x) Sorry, I'm a newbie with programming.
I think it's just me but when I open the .exe it shows the CRT screen, then when clicking inside the application window it gets stuck and crashes. Same with drag and drop, just that the entire window becomes black.
really nice little tool. Would love to see an extended version with some more features like various exports, GIF-support, different aspect ratios etc. Would even pay a few bucks for it.

Those are good suggestions, I will keep them in mind :)

Thank you, buddy! I appreciate it
can you make one to filter all screen? to use my windows like old times, whitout using a real crt monitor?
That would be cool, but I have no idea how to make something like that...
How does one save the gif/png created with the overlay?

Where does it save the gif? I can't seem to find it
I guess it is in whatever is the current path when you run it. Might be where the .exe is or where the image is. It only saves a gif if you are displaying an animated gif though, not if you are displaying a still image png/jpg
I have a shortcut of CRT on my desktop and when I drag and drop into the shortcut the gif doesn't seem to save otherwise it works. just fyi
Looks awesome, thanks!
This is really cool, thanks for making it!

Absolutely Amazing 💖
maybe I am dumb and dont understand this but the drag an drop function isnt working for me
You need to drag and drop the image file onto the exe file in the file explorer.
super cool, great love it
It's fantastic! Thank you!

This is fucking insane!!
Love this!!!!
Neat! Wish there was a way to save this in an easier way, but otherwise, love it!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Totally love this, great work! by the way, any chance of being able to see .GIFs with this? I would love to check how my animations look with this <3
Very cool, thanks.
This is great! Love it.
