Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
New in 1.1: cut out a subject with one click and paste it into another photo, add props, text and drawings. Plus retouching, brush masks and the colour mixer.
Magic Gallery is a fast, non-destructive RAW editor and photo browser for Mac that also understands *where* and *when* your photos happened.
NO IMPORTING
Open any folder or your Apple Photos library and start immediately. Nothing is copied; originals are never touched. Edits are stored non-destructively and can travel with your photos as sidecar files.
PRO-GRADE EDITING, GPU ACCELERATED
• Apple's RAW engine: exposure, boost, noise reduction, detail, local tone map, lens correction, extended dynamic range
• Light, colour, detail, curves (RGB and per channel), levels, split toning, black & white mixer
• Film-style looks plus your own .cube LUTs, vignette, grain
• Crop, straighten, perspective, flip; presets, snapshots, copy & paste adjustments, undo/redo
• Live histogram with clipping warnings, before/after, 800% zoom
• Smooth even with 300-megapixel and multi-gigabyte files
CUT OUT, PASTE AND DECORATE (NEW)
One click lifts the subject out of a photo — Magic Gallery finds the edges for you, on your Mac. Drop it onto any other photo, then drag to move, scale and rotate it. Add sunglasses, hats, crowns and other props, type a caption in any colour with an outline and shadow, or scribble straight onto the picture. Every layer keeps its own opacity and blend mode, and all of it stays editable; your original file is never touched.
RETOUCHING
Click a blemish, dust spot, power line or distraction and it is gone. Heal keeps the texture of the area you sample but takes the colour from around the spot, so repairs disappear into skin and sky. Clone copies the sample exactly for hard edges and repeating patterns. Drag either circle to choose exactly what gets sampled.
COLOUR MIXER (NEW)
Eight colour ranges — red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple and magenta — each with its own hue, saturation and luminance. Deepen a sky without touching skin tones, or pull the yellow out of foliage.
LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS
Change part of a photo instead of all of it. Paint a mask by hand with a soft brush, drag a linear gradient to hold back a bright sky, place a radial mask to lift a face, or let Magic Gallery find the subject for you — Subject and Background masks are detected on your Mac, with no setup. Each mask carries its own exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, colour, clarity, sharpening and blur, and you can stack as many as you like.
MAP TOUR
Your photos clustered by place with travel paths. Press Play Tour and the map walks through every location, photo by photo, with date, place and camera. Play one location or the whole journey.
AUTO COLLECTIONS & MEMORIES
Events, trips, places, home & away, on this day, people, scenes, cameras & lenses, time of day, colours — all built automatically. Trips and events become Memories: play them as a slideshow with motion and captions, or export a Story: a shareable web page and PDF with the route map and photos by day.
SMART, ON DEVICE
Smart Tags, search for text inside photos, focus scores for culling, duplicate finder, face grouping. Nothing leaves your Mac — Magic Gallery has no accounts, analytics or tracking.
