The latest photo editing software news

First, here are some coupon codes:

The latest photo editing software news:


→ Aftershoot’s latest update includes Cull to Target, Improved Highlights, and People Filters:

  • Cull to Target. Choose how many photos you need, and Aftershoot selects exactly that many for you to review.
  • Improved Highlights. A stronger shortlist from your selects, so you can share sneak peeks with clients sooner.
  • People Filters. Find specific people in a shoot and review their photos without scrolling through everything.


→ Aftershoot released Photon: a free RAW editor for macOS and Windows.


→ Affinity and DxO announced a partnership (no subscription required; DxO PhotoLab version 10.1 released – is a perpetual license):

“Your edit no longer stops here. Develop your RAW file in PhotoLab, then send it straight to Affinity as a native .af file, ready for pixel-level editing. RAW perfection on one side, creative freedom on the other. Affinity is free on Mac and Windows.”


→ Imagic is a new desktop photo software for Windows and macOS. It culls a shoot with AI (scoring every frame and grouping bursts and duplicates), then edits and exports the keepers in the same app. Photos are processed on your own computer and are never uploaded.


→ Adobe completed the acquisition of Topaz Labs (more info).


→ Skylum removed the portrait editor Aperty from the app. Aperty will be discontinued on November 4th.


→ Adobe updated their apps on September 29th:


→ Adobe now has a real reason to cry: ArtCraft built almost every App that Adobe makes using Rust.
