Description

The Retouchinator · Mac software

Finish your photos from your own pixels. Made by a working portrait and wedding studio, The Retouchinator handles everyday photo adjustments free on your Mac, with no account.

  • macOS 14 or later
  • Apple silicon and Intel
  • Free installer

Version 2.1.1 · Free download for Mac.

Start with the photo you made

Unlimited local edits. Free. No account.

Straighten, crop, warm the white balance, lift shadows, or adjust exposure and contrast. Heal dust, spots, and blemishes, soften under-eyes, and tidy flyaways or glasses glare. Reduce noise across the whole photo, or gently brighten teeth and eye whites when you ask. These edits run on your Mac, work offline, and need no account. Noise reduction uses a model built into the app; Documentary projects leave it off.

Ask for a change.

Type familiar adjustments such as “warm it up a bit and straighten it.” Read the plan, then press Run when you are ready.

Choose the area.

Click to select a person or object, or paint and lasso your own selection. Sky and skin selections appear when the app finds them.

Keep your finish.

Compare with the original, use Undo and Redo, and export a new JPEG, 16-bit TIFF, or PNG. History keeps every version, so you can step back and try another edit without losing your later work. Learn your own look from before and after photos, or match a reference look across a set.

Coming soon

Optional AI for the bigger change.

Hosted AI edits, Twig & Olive accounts, and shared plans are coming soon. When available, they will handle changes such as removing a distracting sign, replacing an object, extending a frame, or relighting a photo. The app will show the plan and its estimated share of your month before you press Run.

AI upscaling is part of those account-based features, including the upscaler that runs on your Mac. It is for smaller photos, up to 50 megapixels after enlargement. Local only and Documentary projects leave it off.

Fits the way you work

Finish the frames that need it.

Send a photo from Lightroom Classic or Capture One with Edit In, finish it, and Save Back. Open JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF, and camera RAW files. The Retouchinator also works with Apple Photos and Shortcuts.

Use Local only to keep the work on your Mac. Choose Documentary when generated pixels do not belong in the photograph.

Do I need an account?

Local photo adjustments are free and need no account. Accounts and AI features are coming soon.

Will it replace my file?

Exports write a new file. Save Back can replace the file another app handed to The Retouchinator, after you confirm. It is not offered for a file you added through Add Photos.

Which Macs can run it?

macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
