All-New Mobile UI

When editing on mobile, you can now use a simpler, faster, and easier to use editor with key options.
You've more room for the image itself.

Of course, you can always switch between mobile and full layout and the non-destructive edits keep in sync between both modes.

Also, the cropping and curves layout was improved for mobile as well.

All-New Denoising

A new denoising in ultra mode leverages GPU-Compute of modern android devices to provide cleaner image results, especially when denoising images with a high amount of Luma and/or Chroma noise, keeping more details and colors.

For technical specialists, here are the compute costs of this algorithm for a 20MP image file:

Pass FLOP
Luma 5.84 TFLOP
Chroma 1.34 TFLOP
Total Compute ~7.2 TFLOP

 

Device library

Alternatively to using the folder-based browsing, Photo Mate can now also access the device image library and sort/filter by supported filters. This might be especially helpful on smartphones where all captured images are already included there.

QoL Improvements

  • Common editing-algorithms now prefer to use the GPU for faster throughput and previews, reducing CPU overhead
  • Swipe left/right in Develop can now directly switch the images
  • Small Improvements to several layout & UI components
