What it does

Develop

Non-destructive: exposure, white balance, curves, colour mixer, clarity, texture, dehaze, grain.

Masks

Brush, gradients, colour and luminance ranges, and AI masks for subject, sky, background and people.

AI brush

Paint over an area, say what it should become, and only that area is repainted.

Grids

Anamorphic frames stacked into one portrait post, classic splits and carousels, in a few taps.

Save to Photos

A finished JPEG straight into Photos on Mac and iPhone, with one tap or always.

Compare

Before and after, side by side or split, wherever something changes your picture.
