So if I wanted to work with RAW, I would probably stick to my mac. I have played around with PhotoRaw and Pirawnha and both were decent apps, but the iPad came to a crawl. I realize the OP wanted an app for RAW, and I agree that Photogene may not be the best app for processing RAW. From there I can upload to my online galleries.
PIXELMATOR FOR MAC 10.5.9 MAC
They way I figured this out was to edit the IPTC info with Photogene with keywords and then I created smart albums with the Photos application on my mac to separate out the originals from the processed. Because I am doing almost all of my processing with the iPad, I had to find a way to separate my processed photos on the ipad with the originals when importing them to Photos on my mac. I missed Lightroom's organizational system and iPhoto was eventually replace this year with Photos, which the organizational system has lots to be desired. My most recent question that I finally solved was photo organization.
PIXELMATOR FOR MAC 10.5.9 HOW TO
Nik (the original developer of the app), really knew how to implement a great B&W conversion. I used Snapseed for it's B&W conversation when I need it. It has all the photo editing tools I need (except for the clone tool - I didn't like their implementation of it so I use Touch/ReTouch). After all was said and tried, I settled on Photogene. I was committed to RAW for many years, but as cameras got better at JPG rendering, I wasn't able to get that much better IQ from raw, so I went back to JPG processing. Initially I tried out all kinds of photo apps (Filterstorm Pro, Photogene, Photoforge, Snapseed, Laminar, Perfectly Clear, and most recently Photoshop and Lightroom mobile). Like many, I used iPhoto for many years, then I discovered Photoshop, then moved to Lightroom, then I started integrating the ipad into my workflow. I have used many photo processing apps over the years. I have Snapseed too and am playing with both. Thank you! I went with Pixelmator for iPad. But again, what tools you choose depends on what work you do. You don't even need to start with a photo.Īnd I might start with the desktop, since those applications are more expensive, and since there is much much more available to edit and process RAW on that platform, iOS being a bit crippled in that department. It can be used to touch up and adjust photos, but it goes way beyond that to adding graphic elements, recoloring, etc etc. Pixelmator is more like a Photoshop type graphic arts editor. Or both, since it's not like the prices break the bank.Īnd I might start with the desktop, since those applications are more expensive, and since there is much much more available to edit and process RAW on that platform, iOS being a bit crippled in that department. But again, what tools you choose depends on what work you do. If you design ads and add graphic elements to photos and create graphic images, then Pixelmator for sure (but look at Affinity Photo as well). If you turn photos into say B&W and touch up some dust and then print or post them, then Snapseed, Photogene, etc. What would be the best depends on what you do. Photogene also works with RAW, one of the few iOS apps to do so. Snapseed and Photogene are just about photos.
You don't even need to start with a photo. Pixelmator is more like a Photoshop type graphic arts editor. So, I am simply looking for feedback on what seems to be a good potential workflow that uses Pixelmator across all platforms. It seems to be a toss up, for me, b/w Photogene 4 (other that RAW) and Pixelmator for iOS. I would imagine if I do buy a desktop editor it will be Pixelmator-based on reviews and price. What appeals to me about Pixelmator is the possiblity of working on iOS and on my MacBook Air. I recently purchased an EM10 and am looking for a photo app.
