Photomator – Photo Editor for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great app!This app is a steal for the price. I have been using it for a while now and no complaints. However (you knew this was coming) I would gladly pay more for an updated version that had an adjustment brush, at least a dodge and burn brush. This app has let me move 90% of my editing to my ipad, which makes my photography much more enjoyable. If the addition of even simple brushes happen i will no longer need to fire up my macbook. You will completely put a fork into lightroom, in my opinion. Thanks for a great app, and btw i am a happy user of Pixelmator Pro as well. Keep up the good work..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Easy to use, just what you want!Pixelmator Photo is 100% worth the money as it delivers an experience integrated with the Apple Files app. If you are on the latest iPadOS update, you will be able to select photos from your photo library that the app can have access to, and then always add more later. Those photos go into your special Pixelmator Photo library. When you open up a photo, you can choose from other viewing options or select edit. In editing mode, everything is just how you want it. You can discover tools easily, and it works great for all skill levels. Overall, Pixelmator Photo is a great choice for your next iPad photo editing app..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Great app but still bugsI just bought it one hour ago. It crushes on my 6th generation ipad when i’m editing some photos. Hope you guys can fix it in next update. But I still believe this would be one of best photo editing apps..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Almost thereFirst of all I love this app. It’s my go to app for all of my editing while I’m traveling. But it’s not quite finished. There are some features that are missing that would enable this being my standalone editor. First off it’s got a ton of features that work fantastic. The ML feature gets it right more often than not. The program is intuitive for anyone who’s ever edited in that one program that shall not be named. It’s speedy enough to export hundreds of photos without any fuss (although my battery may disagree). What it’s missing though really is a bummer. We need masking. There is currently no masking abilities that I’m aware of and that is such a shame. The ability to add watermarks or layers would be awesome but I realize that’s not what this app was designed for specifically. This has lead to creating workflows that exist outside of Pixelmator. Please also consider adding some basic brushes in future updates. I’ve been able to create an alternative workflow here as well using snapseed but I’d love to have any excuse to get rid of that app. It’s clunky. Finally where is the noise reduction? I’ll tell you, not here. It doesn’t exist yet. That is a shame. Overall you won’t be upset with this for edits and corrections but it’s just not quite done in my opinion..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Great appReally well designed application doing all you need and more to touch up your pictures. Wonderful application cost only penny’s compared to Adobe monthly subscription for the same thing. I like to own my application and this what made the decision point. I don’t like rented cars and rented application..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Needs a macOS versionOther than that, just amazing..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Very useful appIs one of the best photo editors on the App Store. It would be even better if it allowed for selective adjustments to different parts of a photo. It would then be a true replacement to Lightroom..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Top of Pops for photo repairI have just been working to clean some accide ntal photo bombers out of a group photo. Tried Luminar Neo AI and it was unable to cope with the removal/repair task. I used Photomator and it was clean, fast and accurate..Version: 3.2
✓ UnbelievableAbsolutely fantastic, beautiful, powerful, efficient photo editor. I can’t believe I have been paying for Lightroom when such an app exists..Version: 3.3.1
✓ BrilliantHonestly use this more than any other photo app. The denoise and super resolution is amazing. But i wish they had tools to smooth skin..Version: 2.0.4
✓ GoodGood integration between the native photo app, but I would like to know if anytime soon masks will be available..Version: 2.2.2
✓ I like it but...I would love to have the full set of features from your MacOS app + add USER LUTS (importing and exporting) + color grading features similar to davinci resolve (curves for sat-luma, luma-sat, etc. rgb grid circle, rgb grid). I understand that it is a lot of work, but it'll replace lightroom AND photoshop for many people (and I'm talking not just about desktop versions).Version: 1.5.4
✓ Workflow and LightroomImpressed by the ads, I bought the full package. It is great - fast to use and the filters are really beautiful. However, the workflow needs a LOT of work - some method of quickly rating or favouriting images while you're in edit mode (at the moment you have to go out of edit mode, favourite, then back into edit mode); some way to avoid all the confirmation buttons about saving the changes (they're non-destructive edits, who cares?!); and consistent ways for shortcuts to work so that you don't accidentally suddenly apply a filter with a button-press that, last time you pressed it, took you to the next image. Naturally, these are things that Lightroom does really well. The benefit of this app seems to be its machine-learning features and simplicity: learning Lightroom properly is slow and fiddly. But if it's going compete, it can't have all of these annoying little workflow things in the way of performing a few hundred quick edits. Even if the results are lovely, time hasn't really been saved..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Great addition to the image processing arsenalThe image enlargement algorithm alone is worth it. Especially good for artificial things - I’ve successfully enlarged horribly pixelated company logos and they became smooth and clear. Saved one of my business presentations just due to that feature alone. The rest of the tools are also good..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Very good, almost excellentThis is a wonderful tool for photo editing. It’s such a huge improvement in workflow over Lightroom it’s just silly. That said, there are a few super critical things missing in the Pixelmator photo ecosystem: 1. Now that there are versions for both iPhone and iPad can I please sync my presets?! I know I can import them (which is pretty nicely done BTW) but seamless sync seems like a prerequisite for a multi-platform system. 2. Pixelmator Photo for Mac already! This is a professional-grade tool. It’s convenient to occasionally play with it on my phone but let’s take advantage of the big beautiful MacBook Pro screens (and built-in SD reader!). I know… I can use Pixelmator Pro as an extension to Apple Photos and that’s very cool but it’s not nearly as seamless as the Photos app, and the presets aren’t truly cross-compatible (and don’t sync). 3. A community tool to share and find presets would be amazing. I’d engage endlessly with that. I’d even pay a small monthly fee to be part of that community. 4. Please allow a simple drag and drop to a shared album. That would significantly improve workflow. If this exists It doesn’t seem to work for me. 5. Really nice to have feature: some sort of indication of where the last edit was done. A simple bar showing the last edited photo would be great, as it would indicate the work I definitely haven’t done in recent imports. That’s my top 5 list! Really looking forward to future improvements. Thank you!.Version: 2.0.11
✓ Excellent toolI purchased Pixelmator Photo for my iPad Air, and I am not disappointed. The ML image enhancement is subtle but powerful, making for a great first step in my photo processing workflow. From there it offers a nice set of tools for handling exposure, curves, saturation, sharpness, and more. My only “complaint” would be that some of the tools from their other product, “Pixelmator”, such as layers, magic selection and erasure, etc... are not present in this tool (as far as I can tell). If those were available this would be a killer app! Either way, for what it does, it gets my 5 stars!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ I’m happyWorks well, keep up the great work..Version: 3.1
✓ Easy integration with photo libraryI am loving this app! It integrates perfectly with your photos library. All changes you make in this app are fed back to the original photo in your library and then if you have iCloud instantly backed up! One feature I love which is simply is the ability to pull up EXIF data on the picture so you can see focal length, aperture, other data. The machine learning works pretty well. The film simulations are nice....please add a slider to the film simulations so we can dial in how much effect we want. Overall it is a steal at $5!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Brilliant for old photos, etc!This app on my iPad and my Mac is brilliant. It has replaced my photoshop program for almost everything and is stinking fast. It does incredible this for old photos (especially low resolution vintage photos) to allow me to use them for image analysis in my history classes. Worth it just for the ML feature..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Compressed Raw now fixedFantastic turnaround for bug fixes now I can open compressed raw files. This app is going from strength to strength. Some great tools like healing, resize and noise reduction. Presets could do with refining as they are a little heavy on processing. LUTs are good, being able to add your own is great. It could do with some kind of manual lens correction if you’re using DNG files. Very good competitor to Lightroom..Version: 3.0.12
✓ ExcellentAs a long-time user of Pixelmator Pro, Photomator gets a place in my workflow as a quick-but-sophisticated photo editor. It loses a star for two reasons: - Lack of system integration. Most of my images live outside Photos, but at this point I have to go through Photos to use Photomator. Five stars when this is fixed. - the feature for upscaling image resolution isn't as good as some alternatives. Most times I either get a smudgy watercolour version of the original, or nothing appears to change at all. Apart from these, an excellent photo editor..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Dumped Lightroom for Photomator + iCloud storageI went through an exercise to cull expensive subscriptions - my Adobe license was annoying me and I never felt that the iPad experience was as feature rich or capable as desktop classic. Enter Photomator. I’ve been incredibly happy with it - performance is excellent and most of the tools that I could possibly want are available to me. One thing holding me back from a 5 star review, Photomator does not support HDR stacking - this is a feature that I’d love to see implemented. For now I use Photomator 90% of the time and Affinity to fill the blanks or capabilities that Photomator doesn’t provide. If Photomator can offer HDR stacking, then I’d bump my score to a 5 star review :).Version: 3.3
✓ Works wellI used this to touch up about 200 photos to go into photo books. For my jpegs the automatic colour, upscaling and removal of artefacts worked really well. Was very happy with the printed colours. Only thing I don’t think it’s great for is underwater photos - I had to use another program for this. It also did a really good job with some low resolution photos. Also works great for RAW files although check it works with your camera. Some types don’t work because not compatible with apple. You will also need to sharpen these images along with the colour correct. Unfortunately there is no automatic sharpen colour ( and no guidance) which is a shame. I used a 15px radius with 50% intensity and it seemed to work. Can also edit in bulk but it’s easy to set up an automation that auto colour corrects, sharpens and removes artefacts. I couldn’t quite figure out how to add sharpen to the automation which was a bit irritating. Highly recommend this program and every single photo looks great in the printed photobook..Version: 2.0.14
✓ Excellent App!Fantastic app with so many editing capabilities. The new masking adjustment tools are fantastic. Brilliant all round editing app. It would be great if video editing capabilities could be added in the future..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Almost five stars but for one major flaw!This app seriously needs a re-do button. Why? Because the undo button is situated right next to the reset button, meaning if you press the reset button by accident, you've lost all your work for that session and have to start all over again, or hope you saved it before the mishap. This would be easily solved with a re-do button giving you an escape from disaster. WHY ISN'T THERE AN UNDO BUTTON? 🥴.Version: 3.3.4
✓ Apple Photos integration?Hi Awesome app. Would love to see integration to open for editing from Apple Photos? Thanks James.Version: 2.0
✓ This is a great app!Not sure why this doesn’t come up when I search for a photo editor in the App Store but nevertheless, it’s a brilliant app for use on my iPad. It’s fast, accurate and has a TON of features and uses AI to get the best for each image. It’s right 99% of the time and when you feel it’s not, you can manually tweak everything. Criminally under-listed on the App Store. Try it, you won’t be sorry!.Version: 2.0.11
✓ Few extra toolsIt’s almost there. Just needs some brush and dodge and burn tools for me to use this alone. Otherwise it’s pretty great..Version: 2.0.16
✓ Great app. Two feature requests.Huge fan of Pixelmator pro on Mac for several years. No need for Photoshop at all. So I believe Photomator won’t disappoint. These are my requests. 1. Currently file info requires three actions, reach all the way up, tap and tap. Please change this to just one step, just swipe up, just like the default Photos app does. And I can’t find the file size in the file info, I would like to know fast how big the image file is. 2. You can customize the width and height, when exporting, but not the percentage. For example, I’d like to scale down the image to 70% and export. Currently I don’t think that’s possible. My 15 Pro Max pushes out huge image files so easily, and I would like no other than Photomator to handle all the inconveniences coming from the phone’s power..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Fantastic App with professional featuresNewly renamed and with latest major updates, Photomator has become the one stop shop for photo editing on easy way. It’s a must have App from amateurs to Pros. TW, It lacks a simple feature to be included in such a good app - Blur tool, which can be applied by brush/manually. Other important feature request is to be able create shadows for the masks and to save masked objects/people as transparent PNGs..Version: 3.0
✓ I’m converted!A while back, I had tried and disliked PixelMator software. I had also tried everything else I could find for managing and editing my photos on the iPad Pro, including Lightroom, darkroom and many others. I did a 2nd round of testing of them all months later, and now find that this is by far the most comfortable and feature rich tool out there, integrating extremely well with Apple photos where I now have all my raw sony files. Using this along side Affinity Photo, provides a great combination of sheer power on the iPad for photo editing, especially with the ICC softproofing support in Affinity. These two softwares are like a dream team. I would really appreciate seeing the ISO/F-stop/shutter speed when I click photos and open them in single-viewing mode. It would also be great to be able to do flag and tag in this view as well..Version: 1.4.3
✓ WhaaatFinally for iPhone!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Best app on the app storeAnd I’m not just saying that. No one’s paying me either. It’s just that good. Snapseed doesn’t even compare. There are still some things I would like added though. 1. video editing 2. background eraser 3. double exposure 4. brush tool so I can select an area to edit. This app is SO worth buying..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Great experienceI’m enjoying it much more than Lightroom mobile, and Classic. It’s very fast and generally understands photography editing better than Adobe, which is made clear in subtle details. It may be missing a few things, but it’s a steal for the price..Version: 1.1
✓ Really good but missingCurves: -Need to tap on image and drag that specific range (too broad right now)- just like the target adjustment tool in LR -Need to add a point to the curve without adjusting the curve -Need to be bigger EDR is buggy-shows a very darkened version of the image everywhere except when opened in the photomator editor. (saw on a 6DMii RAW) Need Luminance Range selection (ideally HSL) It’s very difficult to manually select a replacement color hue using the iOS picker in the Color Replacement tool A history log like in Lr Classic would be amazing Images stop working after a certain number of layers Histogram seemed to stop working (saw on a RAW image) Would be nice: Object AI selection Person-specific selections (skin, hair, etc) Brush tool auto-mask More grain tools like in Resolve’s built in Film Grain tool What color space does the software work in? If I want to apply a LUT I need to know what kind of imagery the LUT will be fed and then output..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Cool but not perfectThis app is really great with its many photo editing capabilities, but it lacks some important features for it to really be the best. It’s not exactly quick or easy to edit photos, as you have to import them and edit, and because it syncs with Pixelmator, my photos kinda mixed up with my drawings. Also I would love to see a mask ability to only edit parts of the image instead of the entire image..Version: 1.0
✓ Amazing app!Honestly love the simplicity of this app, it is both powerful yet efficient. Highly recommend !.Version: 1.1.2
✓ File app not photo appWhile to photo tools are awesome it is important to differentiate this app from apple photos plugins like Darkroom. This app is geared towards users who store and edit photos as files rather than from the photos app. I note that there isn’t even a share sheet tab for opening or copying photos to the app. For the average user who stores their photos in the photos app I would recommend Darkroom..Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent and keeps improvingI’m always on the lookout for new and exciting photo software. Photomator has been in my radar for quite some time but I was waiting for or to gain some maturity. I’ve been using Pixelmator and later Pixelmator Pro for years both at work and at home and really enjoy it. Photomator is an excellent app and received regular and relevant updates, the team is doing a great job. The iCloud integration is seamless, the tools easy to use and efficient. I have nothing to complaint about. It’s missing a couple of features I’d like but they are on the roadmap so I’ll just have to be patient. Highly recommended!.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Great App for photosThe super resolution mode that was recently added works really well. Has all you need to edit photos. I hope one day they add a photo stitching ability for panoramics..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Now changes in pixelmatorBefore when adjusting the photo color adjustment, when I hit done it would save the changes, not it does not save the changes, what has changes, also the size of the file would almost double, now no size increase.Version: 2.2
✓ Quick and EasyThis just the photo app I was looking for. Allows me to quickly adjust colours. The machine learning tools work great and the repair tool is amazing!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Love it!This is probably the best photo auditor on IPhone that I used, so many options, and the most important, IT DOES NOT NEED AN SUBSCRIPTION just buy it ones, and use it :) Thanks!!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ PerfectPeople who diss this app do not realize what it’s for. As somebody who hates subscriptions, this is PURE GOLD as a Lightroom alternative I can carry on my iPad. I use this app professionally EVERY DAY and could NOT live without it. For processing photos, applying machine learning assisted corrections, and even quickly removing a blemish, there is nothing else in iOS that can touch this. Nothing. Especially at the price..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Simple. Intuitive. Fantastic.Pixelmator photo for iPad strikes a good balance between usability and functionality, and has a very simple and intuitive interface. It’s not on par with affinity photo in terms of raw power but its brilliant for its speed of workflow, and I really like the built in filters. It’s also great value for money. In terms of functionality its more lightroom than photoshop, however I prefer this. I stopped using adobe by and large when it became clear that they were so far behind in mobile, and they became greedy with their subscription model. I also use pixelmator pro on mac. A feature from the Mac I would really appreciate on here would be ML SuperResolution which transforms the humble jpeg from usable image for instagram and the like to allowing one to make large high quality professional prints with the click of a button. Many may say that those making prints should be using RAW files, but those individuals are unfamiliar with Fujifilm Cameras excellent and beautiful built in film simulations which only work in jpg. Which again speed up ones workflow, but also achieve highly original photo prints. There are a few pro re-touching features I’d like in both apps, one of which that I’d appreciate sooner than later would be the ability to liquify, which again would mean less necessity to be jumping between apps to complete an edit. Well done, and Keep up the good work guys!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Best RAW editor yetDid some pixel peeping between this and Darkroom and Pixelmator seems to do a better job with the details. Really like to see an option to hide the filters as well as adding metadata/copywrite to exports like Darkroom has. Otherwise well worth the cost!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Might replace LR one dayDefinitely a good app but missing a few important things. First, for many it will do fine, but if you want to replace LR it’s not there yet. However it is being updated continuously so that is great. Pros; interface and level of control good ...has a lot of creative filters ...does do RAW well, healing tool works much better than LR mobile and is my go to healing tool. Cons; doesn’t remove chromatic aberration or fringing so this will kill many otherwise good photos...no selective mask tools Take care of the cons and This will be a LR killer.Version: 1.1
✓ FantasticPerfect if you are quickly shooting with iPhone and want not add just a bit more to your photos before you share them off. I am a beginner and love the machine learning features and ability to quickly see what the sliders are doing to my photos. This is full featured enough for folks far more experienced than I am, yet simple enough that I can throw pro raw photos in and have something that I like writhing minutes. I am using this across all apple products now, phone, ipad and mac. It is well worth the money..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Grunty, Fast and CheapVery compatible to Lightroom minus some obvious features like cloud storage (for better or worse depending on where you stand on this). Surprised by how well it handles large RAW files. Smooth and quick and very easy to use compared to other touch-screen editors. Surprised it is as cheap as it is..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Finally, a competitor to Lightroom CCI’ve been using this app since its original release. I liked everything about it, except it’s need to import images before it would allow me to edit them. In fact, I tended to use alternatives as space is limited on my iPad. The latest version, finally, does away with that need. Time to ditch Lightroom, RAW Studio etc. The new leader has arrived..Version: 1.1
✓ Solid editor for $5.00 but....For the price you can’t beat this editor!! It’s a pretty powerful editor!! Just wished the presets worked a little differently! Here’s what I mean.... So if I have adjusted the colors and curves in my presets, I would like if when I add a preset It doesn't revert the other adjustments I've made before applying the preset. For example, if I edit the sliders in the light tab or correct the white balance before using a preset, I would like it not to set the sliders back to zero if there were no adjustments made to the white balance or in the light tab in the preset that I am using. Other then that it would be great if you could add a couple of things at some point like... selective editing, noise reduction, borders and white point in the light tap! But I totally get this is a $5.00 app lol.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Good but room for improvementI use it to compress and reduce the file size of photos before I share them. I only wish it let you remove geolocation data too. Currently the photo export function lets you: - convert to HEIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF format - adjust image quality (compression) - adjust image size (rescale) - export via iOS Share Sheet to quickly share info any other app (iMessage, etc).Version: 2.1.2
✓ Just missing one thing.I love the app and think your team did an amazing job, but when I’m looking at my photos and want to edit one of them, I find it a bit cumbersome to have to leave that app then open another to edit, when their a solution the developers could implement to make this seamless. I think enabling app extension in the photos app would make this the ultimate photo editing application. Right now I have to use retouch (app extension) and Darkroom (which also has an app extension) both of these together equal pixelmator pro. I’d love to only have to use one. I hope you are listening as this shouldn’t be to hard to do..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Good so far but,I would love a shortcut or a reminder to enable access to specific photos. With other photo editors (ex Lightroom) there’s a “select more device photos” button in the gallery; that way I wouldn’t have to go into the app settings every time..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Version 3.28 all good nowJust updated to 3.2.8 and all good now.Version: 3.2.8
✓ Great app, great devs!Just came here to say thanks :).Version: 2.0
✓ Almost perfect.If this had 'liquify' and 'clone' tool it would be completely perfect..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Amazing app but needs one new featureSimple yet powerful. Works great on my 2018 Apple iPad Pro 12.9”. For $5.99 Canadian, it’s a great app. Probably the only app you’ll need. I hope the developer adds a noise reduction feature in the app. I beg the developer to just add that feature and I’ll be really happy with the app!!!!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ Not a bad photo editing option at allEditing photos using Photomator is very, very nice. I’m left confused by some features - it seems a little bit unintuitive to resize photos (you can only do it at export time and the resize process is different from, say, Pixelmator Pro), and the filmstrip feature only works with the Photos browser (I don’t necessarily want the photos I shot imported into my personal iCloud library…). For the most part, though, an enjoyable app to use..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Great app, glitch in latest versionTrying to send a photo from Photos to Pixelmator just does nothing, it appears to crash Photos and never opens Pixelmator. Works fine with other photo apps. I can still open photos directly in Pixelmator but it’s annoying. Otherwise it’s the best editor I’ve used on iPad. It supports Raw files and does a great job..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great appWorks well. When putting images back in Photos the location data is wrong by miles for no good reason.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Photo EditingThis app is my favorite photo editor. It adds features that are missing from the native Photos app, and integrates with the Photos workflow very well. I love that you can use the share extension in the Photos app to edit a photo in Pixelmator Photo, and then replace the original photo (losslessly) in Photos with the edited version from Pixelmator Photo. I think the app is clean and easy to use, too. It follows Apple’s design guidelines for iPad to a T, which makes it feel right at home alongside Apple’s own apps. I really like using it..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Ease of useThe software is absolutly great, but the standout is the ease of use....Version: 3.2.3
✓ Fantastic!Easily one of the best photo editing apps I’ve used..Version: 1.2
✓ Priceless and NO subscription!Professional app which matches and EXCEEDS many other similar apps from small and even big companies like Adobe! I own all their products for my macOS and iOS / iPadOS and will be happily supporting and paying for all future major upgrades on day 1 - as long as they don’t try subscription model ever!! I just deleted a very fav app which switched to subscription after many of us paid for full version and then many many dollar here and there for add-ons for a number of years!! Check our macrumors to learn about the app’s name!!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ One of the bestThis is definitely one of the best photo editing app for the iPad Pro!.Version: 1.4
✓ Great appThe upgrade of features makes this app a winner. Great value at a fixed price..Version: 3.1.1
✓ So much to love about this appThis app is a terrific value. Feature set is small compared to Lightroom and Photoshop. But the most important tools are hear now. Beautifully implemented. Rock solid and controls respond instantaneously. And integrates beautifully with iOS photos app. I hate the idea of software subscriptions. I prefer to own and simply refuse to “rent.” That said, this app is underpriced. And assuming the plan is to gradually add features like those in photoshop, I’d pay significantly more for full featured version. A carefully engineered and very well designed program..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Really love this!Fast, simple and powerful. Love the ML quick changes/crops and tweaking them to make final edits really quickly. The perfect integration with photos to make sure you don’t have duplicate files everywhere and moving the tool pallet for left-handed use are perfect features that I don’t know why other apps don’t also do. One thing I would love and I cant see a way to do yet is applying particular changes to select areas of an image. Things like sharpening around features in the shot or colour boosting elements without affecting everything else in the shot will really help to perfect images. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ It’s so closeI’ve played with this for about 30 minutes and I see two pain points right away. First, where are the borders? Why do nearly no apps include this basic feature? Only Darkroom does as far as I’m aware. It’s such a simple thing to include even if not everyone uses it. Second, it alters and saves changes to the original photo which is worrying if I want to edit the photo in a different app. Devs, please tell me what am I supposed to do if I make some edits but want to come back to it later WITHOUT overwriting the original file? Also how am I supposed to produce multiple edits of the same photo without using undo or reset? This is the only photo editing app I’ve used that works like this. This seems to be a DESTRUCTIVE editing app as opposed to basically every single alternative out there. I would love a dev response on these two points. Overall it seems decent but these two things have me scratching my head..Version: 2.0
✓ Well worth the costI very much dislike (hate is a better word) subscriptions for apps, and I avoid them like the plague. Instead, I opted to pay the full forever price for this app. While I thought is was pretty pricey, I’m very glad I bought it. I am not a twiddle and fiddle with all of the settings to get the photo just right kind of person: I want to quickly make as few adjustments as needed in order to improve my photo. This app allows me to do just that, and the results are simply superb. This app’s combination of power and ease of use is truly exceptional, and I give it my highest recommendation..Version: 2.2.2
✓ ConfusedI like this app and would find it useful, however I’m not interested in paying a yearly subscription, or any subscription if truth be told. However, in the App Store a monthly subscription is mentioned yet I can find no way of selecting this. Is it possible or not?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ This is really good!Wow. Brilliant. A bargain..Version: 3.0.1
✓ IPhone purchase issuesThank you for your quick response! IPhone purchase issue resolved!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Pay Once = PerfectMost important: it’s a good phot editing app, that integrates well with the best features of iOS. Also important: it isn’t annoying. I have used numerous photo editing apps with awesome features and innovative user-interfaces. Then a cool new feature is added… and every time you open the app you are bombarded with an add to pay 2.99 to unlock that feature. Or — even worse — asked to start *yet another* monthly subscription. I really respect the Pixelmator team for making products that work well and don’t “nickel-and-dime” customers..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Good photo editing, but...Hope the Developers read this. This is a good photo editor. I’ve used many other editors, and so far I like using this one. It’s very simple with decent range of tools. However there are many improvement they can make in the coming months. Two things I would really love two see is #1 adding a ‘Left Handed Toggle’ to switch all the tools to the other side. The lack of this feature which many other have, makes this a bummer for lefties like me. #2 Add a Resizing tool(not crop) to be able to export images at different resolutions. Hopefully if this feature is added that the quality of the resizing is very well. Being to resize an image from 4000pixels to a smaller custom size would be a handy. There are a few others, but for now these two would be great..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Needs these featuresThis app is amazing but I still feel like It needs a few necessary features. * Gradient tools. please add a gradual gradient filter tool and a radial gradient tool. * Masking brush tool. Please add a masking brush tool to use over a certain part of the image to either change colour and other image enchantments. * Also a crucial feature to add multiple selective selections in the Replace Colour option. Once picked a target with the eye drop and the chosen colour of change. if you want to replace another colour of another part of the image the current/previous change is overridden. *Please add these important features. Also sometimes the app crashes when opening ARW RAW Sony file from the files app. Thanks..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Portable workflowI just got my first iPhone after having the iPad Pro for a bit, really missed the best full fat editors like Pixelmator photo because I’m trying a more portable workflow, cheers for this update you legends.Version: 2.0
✓ If I could give 2 suggestions to make this a perfect photo app1. Fix the cropping issue/bug. Please allow users to pinch photos to crop. And please fix the issue that once I crop a photo I can't drag the cropping box back even when it's not at the edge of a photo. 2. I really hate the saving process/experience! I don't like that when I swipe a photo down by accident during editing or when I hit the check/tick icon on the upper right corner, a pop up shows up and I am forced to choose to either give up all my editing or overwrite my existing photo. How about a cancel option that allows me to go back and continue editing?.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Best iPad app to edit photoI warmly recommend this app to edit photo in a very easy/fast way to get stunning results. Easy because it opens your photo library and will save edited photos directly into your photo library, no two libraries to maintain. Fast because main settings are next to the pics and you see directly the effect of your modifications; there is also a Machine Learning based option which apply to your photo the edit that professionals photographers would have apply. Sometimes I don’t like it but some other time it’s brilliant. The tool to remove something from a picture is one of the most simple yet efficient that I’ve used. To edit video, the best app is Lumafusion..Version: 1.4.3
✓ So Close…For the most part, this app is fantastic, but it suffers from a couple problems. • When I crop a photo, and then use the heal/magic erase tool, it pulls in stuff along the edges that were cropped out. Why would I crop stuff out, and want the magic eraser tool to use those cropped out pixels to “erase” stuff I didn’t crop out? • The machine learning/auto edit option is horrible. Most of the time it makes people look washed out and sickly. The default photos app does a far better job. • No blurring tool. (Would love some sort of portrait mode/automatic background blur as well).Version: 2.0.7
✓ Love it, but!!!Great app I love the new upgrade to pixelmator photo. Love the machine learning even if it’s not so great yet I’m assuming it we’ll be significantly better at adjustments the more I use it? The super resolution machine learning adjustment and the auto crop and other workflows are awesome I appreciate them. The addition of exporting and working with LUTs is amazing. One more feature request that compliments this new feature being added is supporting video/photo color checker cards used for color correction and creating LUTs. Maybe even a good idea to use ML for that adjustment too..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Very good photo editing app but......The ability to open photos from “Files” and multiple locations including external drives, USB thumb drives, Dropbox, icloud, etc as well as the iPad’s Photos is fantastic. Unlike some other apps which are restricted to images in the Photos app. Editing is quick and precise, pair nicely with the Apple Pencil. Very impressed with the RAW support. However, missing are features such as clarity, dehaze, noise reduction and chromatic aberration removal. Addition of these features would make the app a brilliant and indispensable one..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Feature rich with excellent AIThe Machine Learning features does a very good job of doing a base edit on photos and then allowing me to fine tune. The only thing is it would be nice if it was tightly integrated with the Photos library..Version: 1.0.3
✓ So far the most capable photo edited on iOSEverything is great, most features you use are included, and they are closely tied with apple‘s hardware, such as the HDR feature. But I have to say, when doing the batch editing, I can not have all SDR photos modified to HDR. I can export them in HDR format such as AVIF, but they are still SDR photos. Don’t know if this is a bug or something, hope you guys can fix it..Version: 3.3.9
✓ Enjoying this!So far it’s been great, intuitive and flows nicely.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great!Absolutely fantastic app. The ‘magic’ button is exceptional and so is the eraser. Can we please have a quick way to jump between presets? When it enters the final detail of the preset it’s hard to move backwards. Maybe a swipe from the left of the screen or a back button?.Version: 2.0
✓ Super awesome!Just updated pixelmator photo for support on iphones and my editing set up is now complete! no more relying on icloud photo backups to use my ipad.Version: 2.0
✓ StunningJust love it. So easy to use on iPad, absolutely eliminates those complex softwares.Version: 1.2
✓ Amazing appLove it so far, simple to use. Brought new life to my old photos..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Repair tool very good, but support for HEIF lackingRepair tool is great. Makes up for the missing tool from Apple’s iOS and iPadOS photo apps. It is also LOADS better than the MacOS Photo’s repair tool. Only issue I have found is that when you edit a HEIF photo, it then saves the edited file as a separate JPEG which is a shame as file sizes can triple (I have seen a 888kb HEIF file jump to 2.2Mb JPEG following an edit).Version: 2.0.9
✓ So, so photos - not anymoreThis app can work wonders with photos. For example - photos taken through the glass of Sky Tower, Auckland, New Zealand had a marked blue green tinge. Not anymore they don’t. Thanks to M/L they now look natural - grey cloudy day and all. OK. You can revert. But make a backup first, just in case..Version: 1.4
✓ The new update is great, but slightly disappointingI love this app, but the reason why I didn’t give it five stars is because it’s still missing major features compared to Pixelmator Pro on the Mac, like colour profile and colour depth adjustments and video editing. Newer iPad Pros have similar internal hardware to the MacBook Pros, so why not give the iPad some extra love and port Pixelmator Pro in it’s full form? Is Photomator supposed to be the Pixelmator version of Lightroom while Pixelmator Pro is your answer to Adobe Photoshop? And please do not make the iPad version half-assed compared to the Mac. iPads have the same guts as Macs and are more expensive than some Mac configurations.Version: 3.0
✓ Best raw processor!I’m shooting with a Leica X Vario. I have been using Raw Power for a few years. It’s been a love hate relationship. Raw Power works well, but with way too much fiddling. Plus Raw Power frequently locks up, even on a powerful Mac Studio. Well I just loaded Photomator this morning and it’s a dream to work with! So much better than Raw Power. The machine learning in Photomator is great too — it gets it right, or close to right, most of the time. Then any further minor adjustments can be quickly made for additional refinements. WOW the images are gorgeous! And having HDR onboard can be useful too. I’m blown away by how powerful and easy to work with Photomator is. I now have Photomator loaded on my Mac, MacBook, and iPad. I can see that Photomator is the missing piece for getting the best results for my editing needs. I love my Leica, it’s an investment in quality photography; so it makes sense to be able to squeeze every bit of juice out of the raw images. Very satisfied!!!.Version: 3.2.5
✓ A true gemPixelmator Photo is one of the handful of essential apps you can turn to when away from your desktop but still needing to get professional work done. The UI is a bit opaque upon first use and therefore at first I did not use this app as much as others, but over time I find, over and over, little things that it does that other apps simply can't, and implementations of other things that are just better and more elegant than other apps. Nowadays this is my go-to photo editing app on my iPad Pro and I'm consistently impressed with it. For example, tonight I had to crop a photo down to the exact pixel. Sounds simple, but give it a try with other iPad OS apps—you won't be able to zoom in to the pixel level while using the crop tool to make a 3000px crop, but here you can—that's not an accident, they had to go out of their way to make that work, and it just did, and it was great..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Another subscriptionUPDATE: I subsequently read other reviews saying existing users are not affected by the subscription. Although I’m wary, I do appreciate that. I’ll just have to read the release notes for each release, which I do anyway for other apps to avoid stepping in a pile of subscription. ORIGINAL: The developers say, in response to other reviews, that they explained the switch to a subscription model in a blog post. Umm, I don’t read your blog posts and I suspect many other users don’t either. That’s a pretty shady way of introducing a new pricing structure. I’ve become very fond of this app, but not so fond that I won’t delete it when it starts to restrict features - nothing yet, but I stumbled on the “manage subscriptions” option when I used the ellipse menu to export a photo a few minutes ago. My hatred of subscriptions will override the strongest love of any app. I’ll start packing up my things now..Version: 2.0.15
✓ OlivierI already pay the lifetime access how come i have to pay again And how to restore? My payement?.Version: 3.3.1
✓ This is what you needUnless you're a professional photographer, this app is what you need! It works perfectly with RAW and it works perfectly with the Photos app (no importing and exporting anywhere)! This is my first review, I think this app deserves it!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ A GREAT almost there app.This app is terrific and is my go to editing program for fast and easy turnaround on my iPad. Lots and lots useful tools well laid out and at an absolute bargain of a price. They seem to be constantly improving this formidable photo editing app which is why I’m sticking with them for the long haul. Ah but a few tools are still needed, like a way to lighten or darken small areas using a brush like feature. I often would like to adjust just a face or and object within the larger frame. Also I would like to see a way that the many sliders could be allowed as well to incrementally adjust from each end, making settings more accurate. Keep up the great job developers, you have a real winner here!.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Made me move away from Lightroom iPad!!!It’s been ages since I have been this excited by an app and let me tell you why! I use Lightroom cloud and even though it’s awesome the cloud storage is really expensive. With Photomator you get pretty much everything BUT it uses the iCloud photo storage and structure which is freaking amazing!! I tip my hat to you on this one it’s now my default on all!! Can I ask a favour? Can we have some star based application and sorting of photos? Even the ‘favourite’ would be great! This is now the freaking photo editing and sharing app on the Mac / iPhone / iPad and having this would really help. Oh and also your brush ‘softness’ adjustment really isn’t soft and if you could make the circle about 3 X bigger than the size it goes that would be amazing. And also can we have a button that puts a coffee circle stain on the photos randomly? lets use AI or ML or whatever to make it really super realistic :) But you have something special here.. This app does so freaking much, you don’t go for ‘storage fees’.. I slapped my dollarydoos for the largest ‘buy once’ price and thanks to you I am now looking awesome recommending your app to my friends (and my enemies because I’m not a monster).Version: 3.0.1
✓ Thank you for being awesome.This app is now complete and has most of the needed features. I know asking for culling features is too much but if you did that then I will be over the moon..Version: 2.3
✓ A reason to move away from LightroomA reason to move away from Lightroom.Version: 3.1.3
✓ Has the basic tools that the Photos app lacks.I was seeking an app that fills in the missing functionality from iOS Photos, primarily the retouch tool for removing scratches, blemishes, and small objects. Photomator’s tool does the job in most cases where the background is fairly even or flat – though it does have trouble with complex images. I also need to update my last review bemoaning the lack of an editor extension so you can use Photomator within the Photos app. The alternative works nearly as well: share the image to Photomator, make your edits, and save. The image updates in Photos. 👌🏻.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Excellent appThis is the best photo editing app I’ve tried, specially the repair tool. I also don’t mind paying the one-time fee instead of a subscription. On top of all that, the app doesn’t collect any data. Keep up the good work..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Really handy for editing on the go!Great app for quick tweaks! Would love to be able to rearrange customer presets instead of having them in a corner!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Ok butOn my Mac mini I’m having trouble with some photos which fail to render in Photomator. My library is on an external drive due to the fact that I have many thousands of photos and to have them all in the Mac hard drive is impractical. Having paid the lifetime subscription it would be nice if all the photos were available. If I look at the info for the failed photos it shows failing to load metadata..Version: 3.2.5
✓ ⭐️ ⭐️ ✨ 🌟 star’sPhotograph is a great place to wonder off into to lose focus on the things which destroys you in your future blessing so let’s start with a new plan forward with your own new ideas and for colors dark to light either way you like pick a color which gives you the ability to believe in a thought which creates a destination of destiny into life it’s self?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Great App (with some performance issues)I absolutely love using this app to edit my photos! The ML edit is like magic - it gets me (usually) ~90% of the way there in one tap. The editing tools, cropping, and workflow are all super easy and approachable while offering great flexibility. Unfortunately, though - the app crashes fairly often for me. I like to swap back and forth between various takes in my library, and if I do that too often, the app just crashes. During a 1 hour editing session, it crashes maybe 5-8 times, which is a real speed bump on an otherwise lovely workflow journey. I’m using an M1 iPad Pro with 8GB of RAM, and I’m unsure if the app has been updated to take advantage of the larger memory pool available or not, but I hope that the developers can address this crashing in a future update!.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Does everything you need.No subscription thankfully! Has the all the adjustments and editing features the majority of users would ever need. I don't miss Lightroom at all..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Great app!And now also on the iPhone. Well done!.Version: 2.0
✓ Very good but masking is a bit lackingI use it on my iPad to edit my Sony full frame RAW (ARW) files and I like it so much. Masking is a bit weak and I hope the developers can improve it. For instance there’s no edge detection and I noticed more fringing at the edges when using Photomator masks compared to other apps masking tools. Very often the masking tool gets confused between subject and background. I wish that they also address the current limits in the highlights and shadows sliders. Sometimes they fall short when there’s a need for more..Version: 3.1.2
✓ The app worthy to replace Lightroom.Finally. This is the app capable of editing raw photos just like Lightroom! This app can fully utilize raw files from my Canon Eos R and capture both highlights and shadow! Finally I can cancel my subscription...! Thank you Pixelmator! Hopes: Hello developers perhaps is there any plans to add a frame feature where I can put white bars around my photos? It would be really awesome to add a frames to photo without leaving the app! Thank you for this fantastic app!! I seriously appreciate it!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! my subscription hell ends....I no longer suffer...!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Great.. Google Photos integration?Great app. However, I use Google Photos exclusively for cross-platform photo management.. It would be great to see this added. Could the Pixelmator team comment on if this in the roadmap?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Suggested featureLove this app! I would love if there was a way to control the opacity of the premade presets. Sometime the colour change looks great, but too strong. This app is 1000times better than Lightroom..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Good Lord this is all you need…I’m a Fujifilm fan boy, and I usually use the CamRemote to transfer JPEGs directly to my Apple Photos, from there I post to IG…but when the JPEGs just aren’t doing it for me, I start messing with the RAW .raf file. AND THATS WHERE EVERYTHING HAS FAILED ME UNTIL NOW. See, I wanted to keep things as streamlined as possible without having to do stupid stuff like copying into an editing program, and then exporting back to the camera roll for the apple photo stream sync via iCloud to take over…because thats gross, messy and unintuitive—not to mention a waste of storage and leaves duplicate photos everywhere etc. And this brings me to the best thing about this app, deep apple photos integration. Now, my workflow is as easy as plugging in my SD card, importing into my Apple Photos, rating, deleting as necessary, uploading the creamy X-Trans sensor beauties that my Fuji cams spit out in jpeg and editing the RAWs that need a little extra work…all non distructive without duplicates IN ICLOUD 🤑🤑. And because Apple Photos handles RAW+JPEG images exactly the same as your other photos everything says clean and sexy. Best app ever because of the integration bar none. They knocked it out of the park with this one..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Made for a photographer!The UI/UX of this app is excellent and surpasses many apps. The graphical interface is very predictable which makes it easy to navigate. Corrections apply quickly with my 45 megapixel RAW files. Generating corrections in batches is very convenient when correcting events. The quality of the corrections and the generated files are of a very good level. I made a comparison with other photo applications on ipad and in conclusion, some seemed to apply the color profiles badly and the result generated was not to my liking. These software had other advantages that PhotoMator did not have at the time. But since PhotoMator offers Selective Adjustments (People, Sky, Background, Brush, Gradient, etc…) it is possible for me to go much further in my photo corrections. I bought PhotoMator at the start to do my photo corrections while traveling. The fact that this app supports RAW files and works in Browser File immediately interested me. A year ago I decided to do my photography workflow completely on iPad. For me, this is the only point that is still not working well. I think for people who work in Photo Browser it's good. But for the Browser File, the reviewing is very long and difficult to do. The good news is that the roadmap on the website seems to indicate that this problem will be fixed..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Pretty great, but...This has been my go to photo editing tool for a while now and there are plenty of fantastic features and it looks like the team is continually improving the app. The integration with the native Photos app is perfect! The only thing I desperately want is for them to include selective masks / edits feature. Add that and I can finally get rid of Lightroom on my iPad. Please developers ... I beg of you.... we need this feature for your app to be truly best in class..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Nice!Nice!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Tight iPhone, iPad, MacOS Application IntegrationI am a prosumer family photo addict, having taken my family’s pictures for two decades now. Over the years I’ve tried dozens of applications to clean up my photos. PHOTOMATOR is by far the best tool I have ever used! In addition to it’s advanced support for layers, masks, AI, and non-destructive edits, I especially value the synchronization and tight integration between Photomator and Pixelmator across it’s many platforms. Thanks Photomator & Pixelmator for an absolutely amazing tool!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Files appJust bough this. Overall I do like it. Just a couple of things. It would be nice if I could see my ssd in the library pane. And, as I run my iPad onto a 4K display, it would be lovely if it showed full screen..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Add 10bit HEVC export PLZ!!!Need to add a 10bit or 12bit HEVC export option..Version: 1.3.1
✓ The best on my IpadIs the editor I use on my Ipad and I’m very happy with the results..Version: 3.2.7
✓ Just one huge missing featureThis app is great. But there is one huge feature missing… the layers panel does not allow you to add a second photo. This is baffling, as nearly every high end photo editing app has an option in layers to add another photo. This is essential for many uses. For example, if you wanted to use the app to create Zoom backgrounds, you often use two different photos, one for the background image, and a second in for a logo and text overlay. It’s also useful for adding special effects, such as selecting the sky in a background image, then adding a second photo to lay over the top and reduce the transparency too give it a unique effect. But you can’t do either of these in Photomator for some reason. This is even more baffling when you consider that their other Pixelmator apps do have this feature in the layers panel..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Love the app but wish for a few more features....I love this app and I use this app for all of my professional photo editing. It is extremely easy to use and i love the look of the platform. I really wish they can include a radial/graduated filter to have more control over the edits... if I could be more greedy, I would love the lighting control “whites” and a “clarity” control. Thank you so much for creating this amazing app! Sorry for the super greedy response, I’m loving your guys work!.Version: 1.3
✓ Absolutely love itThis app is amazing! I have it on my laptop and on my phone, both great. And this one I use it when I don’t have access to my laptop. Super user friendly, I totally recommend it.Version: 2.2.2
✓ As good as LightroomAfter the recent update that allows you to auto select subjects and the sky this app is now a strong contender to Lightroom. I think its time to use this as my primary on the go editor..Version: 2.3
✓ Great for iPad photography workflowsGave this app a go, and was very impressed by the editing and batch processing options available in a sub-$10 app. Although it still leaves some things to be desired as part of a photography workflow, it’s definitely worth the cost if only to see if it works for you. If I could suggest anything to make it better, having a dedicated UI for working with photos on SD cards would be great. Secondly, being able to batch export to multiple formats in one go, possibly including a RAW mode for just plain importing from an SD card. Noise reduction and lens correction would also be very appreciated..Version: 1.2.1
✓ A very useful app.I’m happy to announce I’ve deleted Lightroom from my iPads since getting this. One feature request if I may. A RAW camera would be an awesome addition. Why Apple don’t offer that on their Pro model iPads I’ve no clue. Lightroom has one. That would make this app complete. However, even without it this app is a great option..Version: 3.2.7
✓ Overall great, with some bugsI’ve been using this app for a while now and am happy with what it does and how it continues to improve. However, I keep running into a few issues. One, my photos are sometimes pixelated in Apple Photos after editing with Photomator. Two, once you have a few layers, things get extremely slow and clunky. Three, sometimes large areas of my edited photos appear as gray blobs. This is the only issue I’ve figured out how to fix; I can go change any adjustment and usually the problem goes away. I don’t have the pro version yet. I might go for it but right now with issue number one, I worry if I should be using the app at all. I know my original files are backed up but what’s the point of editing with this app if the result is pixelated?.Version: 3.1
✓ ExcellentA terrific app, with non of the pointless gimmicks of many other so called photo editing apps allowing one to concentrate on real editing to enhance the quality of a photograph..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Smart editingThis app is so good for the simple auto adjustments especially for colour correction. But also super easy to get into exposure or contrast as well. I like it better than adobe or vsco or snapseed..Version: 2.2.2
✓ FreeGot this for free. Automatic 5 stars..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great photo editing app...... and I’ve tried them all! Hopefully we will see in ongoing enhancement since it’s very new. The file handling seems a bit convoluted, but maybe I just need to learn to use it. Pixelmator: please could you add a watermark capability ASAP!!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Simple but effectiveQuick and easy UI. Some advance and effective photo enhancing tools and very fast RAW processing on iPad Pro. If you need to get more then grab full version of Pixelmator..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Nice design, easy to use, intuitiveTho I hope there to be more functionalities for sorting, flagging, filtering, grouping and rating like Lightroom does. Currently it’s heavily dependent on Apple photo /file browser, tho the integration is decent. The only issue found so far is that it might get a bit laggy when having a handful of active editing layers on Mac app. Another small imperfection is the perspective correction tool. The current capability of straightening function is a bit too basic when compared to Lightroom. Id it great if straightening can be done in more precision and perhaps by drawing guide lines. Other than that, so far so good. Id recommend give it a try. Better then darkroom as a lightroom alternative. If u utilise or are willing to utilise Apple photo as ur main place to sort and store ur photography projects it will be a even better experience..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Almost there...These are my initial impressions after using the app for the first time. I was hoping it would be a Lightroom replacement, and it’s close. It would need selective edits, brushes, noise reduction, and masking on the sharpening tool. I can still use it in my workflow as a last stop to apply a filter. It would great for that because it has enough adjustment tools to fine tune the filter. I also like the idea of machine learning to supplement my creative process. It suggested a nice crop which made my model seem taller in the frame. I will be using that idea in the future! UI is great but would like to be able collapse an individual adjustment tool (on the right panel) so it’s out of the way when not in use. Currently collapsing an individual tool removes the adjustment. I would love for Pixelmator to replace Lightroom for me. I could be free of my Adobe subscription plan forever! Edit: Love to see that batch editing has been added. Thank you! I love companies that listen to their customers. I added a star just for that alone. I see file management has also improved. Great!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Fast and Smooth EditingI’d been eyeing this app for a while and finally bought it. I was immediately impressed with the smoothness of it and how easy it was to go from shooting to editing! The interface was quick to learn, too. A lot of reviews have talked about desired or missing features though, and I’d like to add some features of my own to that list! The ability to use Replace Color on more than one color at a time. Even my two decade old Nikon could handle three different colors! Because the changes are non-destructive, I have to export the photo and re-import it to tackle a second color. Slow and repetitive! Also, I don’t know how feasible this one is, but if you could save the crop size in Copy adjustments! I was hoping ML crop could speed through the process of cropping multiple photos to show the same area, but I’m constantly having to guide its hand… Those aside, it’s an excellent companion for any photographer on the go! Recommended!.Version: 2.0.11
😕 Photomator – Photo Editor Negative Reviews
