This was quite something to wake up to this morning!

I had literally only just heard about Adobe Lightroom's support for editing and exporting photos with HDR/EDR last week. And looking into it further, I then found out that Photomator also added HDR last year in its 3.2 update.

I was intrigued and fascinated enough about all this to seriously think about whether this might finally break me away from exclusively using Apple's Photos app for my photos. Keep iCloud Photo Library for the actual library — been carrying it since iPhoto in 2002! — but use an external editor, Lightroom or Photomator, for editing.

I really hope this means SDR→HDR will come to Apple Photos.

Apple's photography workflow

Above: Apple’s Photos in edit mode. BitDepth#1468 for July 22, 2024 Until I’d committed to an all Apple workflow for my smartphone photos, how photos got managed under iOS was something of a mystery to me. It’s been just shy of three decades since I switched to digital photography using MacOS, and I’d only used an early iPhone before switching to Android. So I stayed with the desktop and…

Starfotograf und kleiner DaVinci - Bilder erstellen und manipulieren mit GenAI

Mit GenAI Bilder erstellen, bearbeiten und manipulieren: Wir darüber, wie wir mehr oder weniger kreative Titelbilder, Fotos und Grafiken „zaubern“. Doch Vorsicht: Die Grenze zwischen Verbessern und Manipulieren sind.

Teil 2 unserer Serie über GenAI-Werkzeuge, die Lars und ich einsetzen: Diesmal geht es um das Erstellen von Bildern vom Comic über das Gemälde bis zum Foto, aber auch um das Nachbearbeiten und “Manipulieren” vorhandener Fotos. Für die einen ist es privater Spaß, Bilder schöner zu machen. Die anderen manipulieren sie damit. Mehr in unserem Video- und Podcast. Will nur mal schnell ein Bild malen…

Photomator Q&A and Initial Thoughts

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Mac version of Photomator by the Pixelmator Team. I had previously used their iOS app and was excited to see how well the software translated over. While testing the software, I asked the developer questions, which I detail below.

Q: What inspired the development of Photomator, and what are the fundamental problems it aims to solve?

A:  The inspiration behind Photomator stemmed from the success of our previous application, Pixelmator Pro. We noticed our users appreciated Pixelmator Pro for its advanced yet easy-to-use image editing capabilities. However, Pixelmator Pro is a graphic design tool built primarily for single-document design projects. We felt the need to introduce a dedicated photo editing tool where users could easily jump from photo to photo to make edits and batch-edit whole photoshoots at a time. Also, just like Pixelmator Pro, Photomator had to be a native app and offer a seamless editing experience.

In short, our primary objective with Photomator was to provide advanced photo editing capabilities with an intuitive interface, ensuring both ease of use and outstanding performance.

Q: Could you provide some insights into the unique features and functionalities that set it apart from other software on the market?

A: Leveraging its native integration with Mac, iPhone, and iPad, Photomator delivers lightning-fast performance, even when processing large files or batch-editing numerous photos simultaneously. It boasts an award-winning design and harnesses the full potential of macOS technologies, including Metal, Core ML, Core Image, and Apple silicon on Mac. By making the most of these native technologies, we've crafted advanced AI tools that can increase image resolution, remove color banding, auto-enhance colors in photos, or seamlessly remove unwanted objects from pictures—all with a single click of a button. 

So far, I have been incredibly pleased with the speed and power of Photomator's toolset. It's particularly impressed me with its ability to manage color. It does a great job of rendering high-quality results quickly. Though not a full-fledged Lightroom or Capture One competitor, for the price, Photomator cannot be beaten. It offers many advanced features and is excellent for beginners and experienced photo editors. 

I will follow up with a detailed review shortly. If you’re interested in checking out Photomator for yourself, you can check it out and try it for free: https://www.pixelmator.com/photomator/

April's Extra Credits Objective is Spring Cleaning, so I decided to clean out the clutter that was Diego's dorm. He'll be moving into a real house soon, so his place is going to be simple while keeping its Pirate theme in the meantime.

I used to be *extremely* into house decorating on W101 when I was a kid, but it's going to take some time + effort getting back to it. I figure starting on a clean slate and spring cleaning my P101 houses + dorms will be a good way to start!

P101's house decorating is definitely more...restrictive than W101's currently. I would still like to try and make it my goal to theme one of my houses in-game someday!
