Photomator review: A digital darkroom with AI-powered photo-editing shortcuts
This AI-powered photo-fixing app enables you to select and edit the colors and tones of specific subjects with speed and precision
Photomator is a photo-editing app that could be a strong competitor to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop on the Mac platform. Traditionally, professional photographers who use Apple devices have relied on third-party apps for complex edits, but Apple has recently acquired Pixelmator Pro and Photomator to enhance its in-house photo-editing capabilities.
Photomator is a focused digital darkroom app that offers professional photo editors more control over editing RAW camera files than Apple Photos. The app is optimized for Apple Silicon processors, requires macOS Ventura 13 or later, and has a subscription price of $34.99 per year, which is cheaper than both Pixelmator Pro and Adobe Lightroom.
The app’s interface resembles Apple Photos, but offers more advanced features and tools for managing assets. The browser is similar to Apple Photos, but allows for more control over flagging, rating, and filtering assets. The edit windows provide access to a range of image-editing tools, including ML-powered color and tone adjustments, repair, clone, and crop tools, color adjustments, HDR, and Super Resolution.
Overall, Photomator is a powerful and affordable alternative to more expensive photo-editing software, and a great option for Mac users who want to take their editing skills to the next level.
