Mac Transform Improvements

We're excited to unveil the revamped transform tool. As our most commonly used feature, it now boasts a more user-friendly interface, better workflow, and improved functionality.

Crop Aspect Ratio Improvements

• Custom Aspect Ratio. On a Mac, you now have the ability to adjust the height and width ratio values to your liking. You can make these adjustments to your custom aspect in increments of 1 using your keyboard's up and down arrow keys. Additionally, the “Option ⌥” modifier allows changes in increments of 0.1, while the “Shift ⇧” modifier allows for adjustments in increments of 10.

• Aspect Orientation Toggle. On Mac, you can now conveniently filter the aspect ratio list to find a preset option. By default, the orientation toggle matches the photo's orientation. However, you can alter it at any time to view aspect ratios in the opposite orientation.

Improved Crop Overlay Controls - All Platforms

• More Legible Grid Lines. The grid lines have been made slightly thicker, making them much easier to see on photos with a lot of detail.
• Additional Grid Options. On Mac, we've transitioned to a more straightforward pop-up and added two new grid options for all platforms. The "4x4" option presents a basic 4x4 grid, while the "None" option removes grid lines to minimize distractions and maximize photo visibility.
• Clearer Cropped Area. When cropping, the area to be cropped out is now visually theme aware blended with the background, enhancing focus across all platforms.
• Center Circle Removed from Grid. We decided to remove the center circle control. By ensuring the entire crop area is draggable, we have eliminated another visual distraction, and improving focus across all platforms.

Other Additions

• Editable Slider Values. On Mac, the straighten slider values are now editable. You can click on them, similar to the custom aspect values, and they are now more predictably located on the right. Arrow key shortcuts, along with the Option and Shift modifier keys, function in the same way as they do with the custom aspect input field.

Make Local Adjustments with Masks

Masks are a fundamental tool for photographers, and Darkroom is proud to introduce them in a powerful package, backed by AI, and designed for mobile photographers as part of Darkroom+. With masks, you can enhance the lighting in a photo or separate a subject from its background to direct the viewer’s eye, thereby telling a more compelling story.

• AI-powered masks generate a 3D map of the scene in your photo, allowing you to edit the primary subject, foreground, background, and any range in-between.
• Smart Masks intelligently single out the subject, sky, hair, glasses, skin or teeth when editing Portrait and ProRAW photos.
• Gradient & Range masks are the standard mask types and can be combined to create pixel-perfect selections that single-out an object or a region of your photo.
• Videos also support masks with realtime 4K playback, adding another tool to your storytelling tool belt.
• Copy & Paste Options allow you to select which edits you want to paste onto other photos. Now you can apply any combination of adjustments, aspect ratio, frames and masks to an entire photoshoot.
