Photomator – Photo Editor

Worst software, advertising as free and not even allowing a crop without paying charges.

The app does everything you’d want to on an iPhone. Sure there’s features like background removal and other pro features missing but you’d struggle using them on an iPhone anyway. However I do have to point out the integration within the photos app is broken, trying to open the app from the share sheet just brings up a black screen. Please fix this, otherwise it is a 5/5 app!

Hi, I really like the app, but there is one option if you added it , it will make the program one of the best in the market. The ability’s to select part of the image. You need to add lasso tool.

The app is really great, easy to use, intuitive and full of options but yet I find it lacking some important tools like selective spot adjustment which is really key to move it to the league of professional photo editors

Just a few more features to compete with LightRoom and a 5 star review Dehaze, panorama, noise reduction, HDR

Amazing! Worth the money! Extremely happy to leave Lightroom for this!

I have come to use many different programs in my creative endeavors but in terms of photo editing this app is becoming my favorite. The existing features are extremely useful when I need more ability than Apple Photos affords but not as much bloat as what comes with Affinity Photo or Pixelmator (love those apps too by the way). The features that the developers are working on are also highly useful to the professional photographer. The automated batch processing feature or “workflows” is perhaps the best feature about Photomator because of the incredible potential to save time. The results are extremely close and it does appear that the program is learning my editing style, though this could just be coincidence. This is a feature that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see fully developed and refined. THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT HOWEVER. It seems that there are some edits that cannot be automatically applied through this process. This makes the AI editing feature feel new and unrefined. It would be nice to be able to add any editing feature or tool in the program to an automated “Workflow” for automatic processing. ALSO More ability to control the decisions the AI is making on each photo would make the automatic workflows feature perfect. For example it would be useful to be able to tell the AI to pull shadows up a little more across jobs, or asking it to limit highlights to a certain level that may not be what the AI considers “technically perfect”. Making the aforementioned upgrades would likely make this app the premier photo editing app for America and maybe the world. Speaking solely for myself, If these changes were made this would become my primary photo editing program since every feature I would need would be in one program that actually saves me time. Any cons aside, this app is comparable to light room but actually has an ethical price model and is already wildly powerful for its price point. Thank you to the developers! Please keep Photomator going in the amazing direction it is going!

I appreciate that this app allows you to try it out before buying. However, what I wanted to try was the export functionalities, but that appears to be locked out without signing up for the “free” trial that I would have to cancel. I don’t care enough to do that: these kind of free/must cancel trials are annoying. Here’s a one star review for wasting my time.

Finally decided to give this a quick test and it’s pretty darn awesome, including the integration with iCloud so far. I’m ready to pull the trigger, but as someone who has learned to appreciate building adjustments with layers ( a la Capture One), not being able to copy and paste selective adjustments is the only thing keeping me back. Maybe I’m not thinking about my workflow in the right way and if so, happy to adjust (I think that might be the case) but that’s the only thing that’s giving me pause. If that changes OR if I realize I don’t really need to copy and paste layers/selective adjustments, then it’s a no brainer for me. I’m buying it that day. I’m going to keep testing with the free version to learn more; I’m on the edge of my seat to purchase though.

The app does not allow to save pictures. After spending time editing them, when pressing save an error pops up, undoing all edits applied and not letting saving or exporting the photo. DO NOT BUY
