![]() ![]() Unlike Lightroom, Picktorial only has one window/module (Lightroom has several such as Library and Develop). When opening the software for the first time it didn’t take me many minutes until I felt comfortable navigating through and I found it easy to understand how the layout was built. In their own words, Picktorial claims that they made Picktorial the ultimate tool for every photographer to intuitively organize and enhance photos. They are available inside the software as long as you’ve added the particular folder to be visible inside Picktorial. In other words, you don’t have to open the folders on your computer to open the file. You can also store images in Picktorial so it’s easy to find the picture you’re looking for when you want to process something. This is something I really value in modern editors as you don’t have to redo the last 30 minute of adjustments just to fix one minor mistake you made when you started. Picktorial is a non-destructive editor which means that you at any point can go back and readjust any setting (your original image is untouched). By including advanced tools such as luminosity masks and blending modes, Picktorial has opened the eyes of both professional and amateur photographers. However, even though it’s a raw editor it has several interesting features that you would need Photoshop to do if you’re an Adobe user. Picktorial is in many ways similar to Adobe Lightroom as it’s a raw editor (meaning you’re not working with layers such as in Photoshop). I also want to say that the Picktorial team has been incredibly helpful and they have worked hard and efficiently in fixing any bugs I experienced while using the Beta. Picktorial is also a more affordable option than several of the other software available and unlike Adobe’s products, it isn’t set up as a monthly subscription model.īefore I begin sharing my experiences with Picktorial, I want to point out that I was originally testing the Beta version and a few of the bugs I’ll mention in this article have now been resolved. I’ve had the opportunity to test this raw editor for a while now and I believe that it is definitely an interesting software that has several features that I miss in Adobe Lightroom. Several photographers have recently started using CaptureOne or ON1 but recently a new and lesser known software was released called Picktorial (designed for Mac only). Lightroom and Photoshop are by far the two most well-known processing software for photographers, but they aren’t the only options. ![]()
