Let’s looks through the criteria we use to evaluate the various photo editors. I am less inclined to edit my iPhone photos more than basic exposure and cropping adjustments. I find the additional and more refined editing tools in Affinity Photo and Capture One are better suited to enhancing my photography hobby. I use a combination of Apple Photos, Affinity Photo and Capture One, with Apple Photos being used to manage my photo library and for editing photos taken with my iPhone, and Affinity Photo and Capture One used for photos taken with my mirrorless Fujifilm camera. You may also wish to use several tools, picking the best tool for the specific type of photo edits you wish to make. If you are looking to enhance your photo editing skills and take your photography to the next level, I recommend looking at alternative photo editing tools. However, its range of editing tools does not compare to the more advanced tools available in other applications. I think that Apple Photos is a fantastic application and Apple has been gradually improving it over the years. You might be asking why, as Apple Photos comes for free with every Mac, you should look for an alternate solution for photo editing?
