复古像素画生成器 — 常见问题
1. 为什么这叫「复古」像素画生成器？
默认粗网格和低色数，灵感来自 Game Boy、NES 和 16-bit 主机—— bold 色块而非平滑照片渐变。
2. 能把照片做成 Game Boy 绿色调吗？
可以。色板限制 4–8 种 muted 色，网格 28–36 格。平光和高对比主体更易 mimic 掌机屏幕。
3. 8-bit 和 16-bit 风格怎么选？
4–12 色+较大格子偏 8-bit。16–32 色+稍密网格偏 SNES richness，同时保持 blocky 魅力。
4. 为什么默认约 32px 网格？
32 格宽接近经典精灵比例——缩略图大小下人像和宠物仍 iconic，类似老卡带和掌机美术。
5. 什么照片最适合转复古像素画？
轮廓清晰的最佳：人像、宠物、简单风景和高对比物体。复杂背景可能需要减色才能读成 retro 形状。
6. 何时选 Retro Maker 而非 Photo to Pixel Art？
要怀旧主机风和低色 discipline 选 Retro Maker。要人脸细节和礼物级肖像选 Photo to Pixel Art。
7. 复古输出能用于独立游戏 pitch mockup 吗？
可以。导出 PNG 作情绪板、标题屏和占位精灵，再手绘最终游戏内素材。
8. 适合 chip tune 专辑封面吗？
音乐人常在此转换乐队照或 mascot，色数 cap 在 8–16，粗颗粒结果适合 Bandcamp 或流媒体封面。
9. 色数太少主体会不会消失？
人像通常至少 6–8 色才能保留眼嘴。若天地平线分明，风景有时 4 色即可。
10. 复古转换后能手动修粗块吗？
打开编辑器把噪点 dither 合并成干净色区——把照片精灵 polish 成 authentic retro 的常见步骤。
