You can’t easily just browse through a big folder full of RAW files like you can with stuff that’s in your library.įor editing, Pixelmator is much more advanced than Darkroom in what it can do, but there are still some things like Clarity, Structure, Spot Cleanup and lots of other tools that I’m missing. It’s very annoying to jump back and forth between photo library and files, and each file from the files app is acted on individually. It’s bad for quickly clearing out big files that you no longer need, but also to quickly see what files are processed and what aren’t.ĭarkroom and Pixelmator Photo both act on the library but have options to ‘import from files’ but IMO it’s not very good. What I dislike the most is that if you import to the photos library, that RAW files and normal files are mixed, and you can’t really distinguish them. Although my flow is usually from an external mirrorless camera. Any users here? I’m wary of spending the money on Halide but will try it for a year for $12 to see if I would truly switch to using it over the stock camera app. I was reading about Halide and I’m curious. How well does Pixelmator Pro work on iPhone JPEG or HEIF photos? Is it built for that? Or is it really geared towards RAW manipulation, in which case I would want to use a 3rd party app? Hopefully, there are some Pixelmator and Halide users here. I was just doing some digging and had two separate questions.
My pics are generally now just from my regular iPhone 12 (not Pro) but I’ve never spent time learning to use the camera to take better pics or to look into better camera apps. Perhaps use something like Best Photos to help delete.Ī while back, I used to take a lot of photos with my DSLR in RAW mode but that is pretty much over. One thing I thought about was cleaning up my photo library which is a mess. Want to do more with it than just streaming movies.
