The pairing of Photos with Picktorial is a great solution for me. There are photos - family or otherwise - that I only capture with my mobile device. All the sliders and gradients are recalled and can be changed. Need to make a change? Select the photo and send it back to Picktorial. Picktorial adjustments and re-editable, too. The 'Revert To Original' button in Photos works just as you'd expect. I took advantage of Picktorial's targeted color controls and selective tone adjustments to enrich it.Īll of the edits done in Picktorial are completely non-destructive. Great scene! My iPhone was in my hand - so I took a photo. My Sony was tucked away in the bag and then the light changed. The photo here I grabbed at the tail end of a morning shoot with a group in San Diego. Here are some examples of Picktorial running within Photos. Picktorial works incredibly well from within Apple Photos. Or, you can use a program like Apple Photos as your organizer and make advanced edits with Picktorial as an extension. You import photos, organize them in albums as you like, and make non-destructive edits. As a standalone product, it is philosophically similar to other Apple editors. Picktorial is a RAW photo editor that works both as a standalone editor and an extension to Apple Photos. However, it's not Apple Photos I want to talk about in this post. That decision was solidified by Derrick Story's Apple Photos Book For Photographers ( see my review here). It fits well into the ecosystem of my family - everyone has Apple devices. I decided to consolidate my family photos in Photos for macOS. Another I'm happy that thus far, I have been true to both. Another was to take more photos of my family.

One of my resolutions for 2017 was to spend less money on gear.
