Develop - Image Editor
Photo & Video
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Develop your RAW files, retouch, grade with LUTs and batch-export a whole shoot. No account, no ads, no watermark on free exports.
Develop is a fast, focused photo editor built for the Mac. Open a JPEG, HEIC or camera RAW file and get to a finished picture with the tools serious photographers expect, without an account, ads or tracking.
Every edit is non-destructive. Your original is never touched, and every change stays in the history panel, where you can step back to any point.
RAW DEVELOP
• Opens RAW files from Canon (including CR3), Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm (including X-Trans), Olympus and Panasonic
• Develops at full sensor resolution, not the small embedded preview
• Camera Look gives you a starting point close to the camera's own rendering
• Lens correction fixes distortion and dark corners
• Noise reduction and advanced sharpening for low-light shots
LIGHT AND COLOUR
• Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks
• Curves, per-channel curves and levels, with a live histogram and clipping warnings
• White balance with an eyedropper
• Colour mixer (HSL) to change one colour without touching the rest
• Colour grading for shadows, midtones and highlights
• Clarity, dehaze, structure, vignette, film grain and true black and white
• Auto Enhance, which you can keep adjusting afterwards
• Drag directly on the photo to adjust, rather than hunting for a slider
LOOKS AND LUTS
• One-click Looks with a strength slider
• Import .cube LUTs and browse them as live thumbnails of your own photo
• Save your edits as presets and apply them to other photos
MASKS AND SELECTIVE EDITS
• Brush, linear gradient and radial masks
• Colour-range and brightness-range masks
• Adjust one area of a photo and leave the rest alone
RETOUCH
• Remove, Heal and Clone brushes
• Automatic sensor dust detection, with a sensitivity control
BATCH
• Drop in a folder and edit the whole set on a live preview
• Edit all photos together or adjust one on its own
• Export everything in one go, with a clear report for each file
COLLAGE AND STITCH
• Collage with preset layouts, or build your own with split and merge
• Stitch photos end to end, including long screenshots joined automatically
• Free canvas for placing photos anywhere
TEXT, SHAPES AND WATERMARKS
• Add text, arrows, shapes and borders
• Text and logo watermarks, saved as presets and applied across a whole batch
CROP AND GEOMETRY
• Crop with standard ratios, rotate, straighten, flip and resize
• Perspective correction for leaning buildings
EXPORT
• JPEG, PNG and HEIC at full resolution, plus 16-bit TIFF with Pro
• Choose whether location and camera data leave with the photo
MADE FOR THE MAC
• Full keyboard shortcuts and precise mouse and trackpad control
• Focus peaking to check sharpness at a glance
• Your work comes back if the app ever closes unexpectedly
