You may use all common editing tools like Exposure, Contrast, Lights, Shadows, Clarity, Vibrance or even Lens-Based adjustments. Photo Mate also comes with a Lens-Collection so you can auto-correct distortion, vignetting or chromatic aberration.
If you want to fine-tune your image, you may use Curves or Layer-Based adjustments like Gradient, Brush, Lasso or even Threshold-Based!

Ratings and reviews

I find this app very useful, supporting my Sony ARW photo format. I do bracket photography where I blend three shots at different focal points into one. I found this app does work sometimes, but not always. When it fails with direct ARW, I found by first exporting them to PNG as a workaround. It does fail when there is object movement such as wind on plants. It causes a series of diagonal lines to appear appearing like light rays. I don't have this problem with Photoshop, and I use tripod.

I am trying to Combine (median) waterfall photos and the app just crashes on the last step of combining.

This is an absolute powerhouse of an app. Any problems mentioned in these reviews is 100% user error or being cheap. I have used this app for years and can't imagine working without it. With a calibrated field display I produce files for clients same day, often before leaving. It can do everything. I don't even bother to use my laptop anymore. If you want to be a photographer then get used to tools that aren't shiny and cute. Or stick with using an iPhone so you won't have to think so hard.
