You don’t need lots of time or pro skills to make the most of this ultra-fast, super-intuitive photo editor. Darkroom can access your whole photo library at once, letting you immediately start cropping, adjusting curves and using preset filters or creating your own—until your pics are exactly how you want them.
All good but one bug spotted

All is good, one of the best photo editing app there is but I spotted bug. When you set even border, let say 1 width black, save the copy, edit picture with border and set new border 3 width white square, the square borer makes picture not on the center. Tested on iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 13 Mini. Please, fix that.

Good app, but ...

... adjustments (highlights, shadow, temperature, etc.) are much easier to make in Photoshop, and the results are better (especially when it comes to highlights). Filters are pretty good, but lacking in different diversity and styles. There are very few good filters, and the rest is ... well it just is. Recently I took some .dng photos using Halide app, added some filters, and wanted to export them ... which was pretty problematic due to the export quality. Tif files take as much space as JPEG 95% (about 1/3 of the RAW file), which is strange, JPEG 100% is even heavier than the RAW files, and PNG takes even up to 2x more space. In fact I wasn’t able to export my RAW files in lossless quality and had to accept JPEG 95%.Edit: The app cannot see changes I made to the file using Photoshop. I only wanted to use some filters, but I’d have to edit photos once again, and the results won’t be as good as in Photoshop. I hope you can fix it. This app is good, but the more I’m trying to get good results, the more useless it appears to be. The idea itself is good. Portable, light and simple to use Lightroom-like app in your pocket. But it needs polishing. Tons of polishing. Im hoping that developers can deliver a good app, because I don’t see any good alternative ATM. Edit2. The app can see adjustments made in Photoshop, but photos have to be saved as tif, not RAW or DNG, which is fine for me as all of them are lossless. Exporting Tif to Tif also seems to work just fine. Still I’d be grateful for full RAW and DNG support.

Constant problems with copying and pasting settings

In general, I love the idea of the app. Being able to apply fine edits right into the gallery is awesome. But surprises are coming when you start to copy and paste your edits onto other photos. The app can’t just open the photo for edit (the settings are frozen) or shows me a different photo, not the one I chose. I have to restart the app all the time to make my edits. Also, it blows highlights when you export HDR videos into the SDR: although in the preview it looks good, the tone mapping overexposes the entire image during the export, so in the gallery the video looks just overexposed. I’d either change the mapping of tones, or just didn’t change the dynamic range during the export. Overall, I love the app, but these copy/paste things are really annoying if you need to edit a lot of images. So I can’t just give 5 to that.
