Photomator

Photomator is a paid photo editor for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro that combines manual color controls with machine learning tools. It's for photographers who want to edit RAW files, retouch individual shots, and apply consistent adjustments across a photo collection within Apple's native apps and file system.

Edits are nondestructive. Color controls include curves, selective color, and wheel-based color balance, with highlight and shadow recovery for RAW images, including Apple ProRAW. AI selections isolate subjects, skies, or backgrounds for targeted adjustments. Brush, linear, and radial masks give you manual control over the areas you change.

Its machine learning tools handle automatic enhancement, noise and compression artifact removal, resolution increases, and color banding correction. Repair removes unwanted objects and reconstructs the background, while automatic cropping suggests framing. Photomator also imports and exports LUTs and can convert an imported LUT into individual color adjustments.

For larger collections, batch workflows apply presets, crop and rotate images, reduce noise, and add watermarks. You can copy adjustments between shots and sort photos with star ratings, favorites, and rejection flags; Mac also has advanced filtering. Edits made in the photo browser sync with Apple Photos, and the app can work with images on the device, external drives, or cloud services. It uses Apple silicon, Core ML, Core Image, and Metal for image processing, and supports Apple Pencil hover and Split View on iPad.
