![]() ![]() Let’s say you’ve applied a sharpening effect to a photo and you’ve made the colors more vivid and you’ve brightened the sky. What you can’t do with an extension though is modify an effect. You can ALWAYS undo the effect and get back to your original photo. If you make edits using these tools as extensions, they are non-destructive which is awesome. I showed Bart how the extensions work and he found one consideration I thought I should mention. ![]() I’m using Photos but it’s cool that we can all play no matter what tool we use. As I mentioned earlier, Macphun has a collection of tools and filters that are available as standalone apps and also as Extensions in Photos, Photoshop Elements, and Lightroom. The answer is the new Extensions capability in Photos. Of course that mean destructive editing, and a copy of the photo when you brought it back into Aperture or Photos which is not ideal at all. There are things I’d like to do that Aperture could never do, like use layers to create a different effect on the sky than the mountains – you used to have to export a TIFF and go over to Photoshop (Elements in my case). Photos has a healing brush which is great for getting rid of blemishes but not any good at all for my use case. What about that shot where Uncle Marvin is wearing a hat in the family photo so his is the only face in shadow? How do you increase the exposure just on his face? Can’t do it in Photos.Īnother thing I need pretty often is the ability to clone something out, like an outlet on a wall or a password on a screenshot. In Photos you can change the lighting but it affects the entire photo. Over time I’ve discovered how much you really can do with Photos to edit and improve them but there are definitely some features I miss dearly. I knew I’d be limited on what I could do but I was willing to suffer because a) I really wanted all my photos everywhere, and b) because I love new software more than just about anything. As Bart says, I took one for the team when I jumped headfirst into the deep end of Photos, abandoning Aperture. ![]()
