Terrible app as far as I'm concerned, trying too hard to be clever interface-wise, actually hard to use if you come from more classical and time-proven interfaces like Photoshop, Affinity etc. I imagine it can do all sorts of 'automated' tricks on batches etc but I feel really stupid having bought it. May be good for photographers and color-correction, and whatever batch effects type work but not for graphic designers and photo-retouching. An action as simple as resizing an image is not straight-forward. You actually have to do it at export, without any preview of the result, so you cannot even see if the resizing is qualitatively good (WHICH IT ISN'T) until after export and opening of that exported image, unlike an an app like Topaz Photo AI which is amazing at resizing and seeing result in real time. I thought I could do it with this amongst other things. And the whole updating with newer names of the app and membership etc is a money grab.

I'm rather disappointed by this app. They just want more money all the time and it's really limited for basic editing functions, relying on a few AI tricks that are no longer very special.

There is no way to use it as a plugin for Apple's Photos. Absolutely no way to change the sky. List of available skies is dimmed, not usable. So I paid it for nothing, threw my money away. A lot of money… Oh, vers. 1.12.2 with Ventura 13.5.1
