Photomator: The Ultimate Photo Editor for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro [Sponsor]

Photomator is the best way to edit your photos across all of your Apple devices. The app works seamlessly across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro with advanced tools to make your photos look their best.

Photomator’s state-of-the-art tools are texture-aware. That lets you preserve details other apps can’t, enhancing highlights and deep shadows while getting exactly the look you want. Photomator also offers selective adjustments to the sky and background elements using AI and a long list of machine learning-powered features that help you get the most from its tools.

If you shoot in RAW, you’re covered with Photomator’s support for over 750 RAW formats, including Apple ProRAW. The app supports LUTs for applying color adjustment presets, too.

Best of all, Photomator’s sophisticated tools don’t come at the expense of simplicity. The app is beautifully designed on every platform to make accessing features easy while focusing on your images. That design makes browsing and managing your photo library a breeze, too.

Of course, all edits made in Photomator are non-destructive so that they can be done at any time. Also, so you know what’s coming next from the Pixelmator team, they maintain a public roadmap of their development plans.

To learn more about Photomator visit their website and download a free trial from the App Store. Photomator is just $7.99/month or $29.99/year. There’s a life-time purchase option, too.
