SUMMARY

Photomator, acquired by Apple, provides advanced photo editing capabilities, particularly for users within the Apple ecosystem. It allows for precise selection and adjustment of colors and tones on specific subjects without affecting the background, offering more control than Apple Photos. The app syncs with iCloud Photo Library and is available across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. While it supports layers for adjustments, it does not allow image compositing, which is reserved for its sister app, Pixelmator Pro. Photomator is available via a yearly subscription or a lifetime license.
