Editors’ Choice

Looking for a simple but powerful way to freshen up your photos? Photomator makes editing approachable even if you don’t know your contrast from your saturation. With a few taps, the app lets you adjust specific color ranges, perfect your photo’s shadows, and fix up highlights. And once you’ve found settings you like, save them as your own presets.

Best iOS photo editor for everyday use

This is by far the best iOS photo editor for everyday use. I’ve used it since its original iPad release and it has only gotten better over time. Some of the features that have made it great for a long time are iOS photos integration (no importing/exporting hassle), all basic editing features that work as expected (color, exposure, sharpness, etc.), custom setting options, batch editing capability, and RAW support. The recent-ish additions of super resolution, denoising, iPhone support, and a more fluid browsing/editing interface have pushed this app over the top as the best editor for casual users who like to make their everyday photos shine. There are, of course, still opportunities for improvement, such as more customizable batch processing, the ability to better customize the interface (for example, to hide the overall ML button but surface the denoise option, rearrange the tool order, etc.), masking capability, setting sync between iPad and iPhone, and so on… but these would all be quality of life improvements on what is already a superb app. Highly recommended over every other iOS photo editor (and I have used more than I care to admit).

Phenomenal, it genuinely needs so few features to overtake Lightroom completely

This is the kind of photo editor we need more of in the 2020s. Every company offerring a service offers subscriptions and licenses to their product telling you “no, you don’t own the software just because you paid for it. You’re paying us for permission.” This isn’t that. Not totally anyways. The option to buy it for life is growingly a rare delicacy because every apologist might want to defend how you lose your money for the products you need or want.

Regardless, the only few features I’d need to make this be my ONLY app because I need lightroom for only 2-3 things: exporting files in desired color ranges like P3/ProPhoto/AdobeRGB/sRGB, exporting in my preferred file format like JXL (don’t kid yourself that it isn’t a better file format than HEIC if Apple is willing to start replacing it with the iPhone 16 since it can handle lossless encoding + massively wide color ranges), and lens correction/removing chromatic abberation. The editor is so good at parity that these ate the only few things I can even say.

As of now, the workflow is to edit the RAW in Photomator, export the TIFF to Lightroom, then export the TIFF to JXL on 90% in Display P3 (sometimes Rec. 2020 for HDR photos). Cut out lightroom from my ultra simple workflow. The upcoming plans make me excited to dive more into photography.
