aphera
A fast, intentional RAW photo editor built natively for Mac. 1.0 is out now — 14-day free trial, no CC required. Made by @rcarver@mastodon.social, @nazhamid@mastodon.social, and @jpzambrano@mastodon.social
Rugged scenes from the youngest and biggest island in Hawai’i, Hawai’i (most commonly known as Big Island). Being the youngest, the landscape is rife with volcanic rock and terrain. With three active volcanoes, one dormant, and another extinct, it shapes this island in many ways, particularly literally.
These images were developed using a mix of our Looks (Solaris, Chronostasis, and Gambar) and using our Balance tools for tonal contrasts at the per image level.
Using tokens to form your preferred file names always feels intimidating and overwhelming in Lightroom and Capture One. We went for something that's more user-friendly than picking from a long list of dropdowns or tokens. We dig where we landed with typeahead and autocomplete.
Testing another internal dev build, with a shot from Sunday's Nine Inch Nails show in San Francisco. Full screen for that immersion.
Pretty good for an iPhone 14 Pro RAW file at 3x.

The tiny metadata at the bottom gives you just enough info. We really want your image to be the most important (and biggest) element in view whenever possible.
And a thanks to Picalili for mentioning us in The Index, another stellar newsletter.
