Develop
Every detail your camera caught.
Drag the line: the raw file as your Mac opens it, then developed in SolvePhotos.
Sky mask
Edit just the sky.
A sky mask is found for you, so your edits touch only the sky. Here the mask warms the storm cloud over Ballina beach to gold, and a light curve finishes the whole photo.
Pick the keepers
A guided cull of a folder.
Rate, flag and keep the best of each set, with the rest set aside.
