WyzePhoto

WyzePhoto is an image editor built around layers. Open a photo, a PSD file or a camera RAW file, and every change you make stays on its own layer that you can reorder, hide, fade or undo. Adjust the light and colour with non-destructive adjustment layers, hide or reveal parts of a layer with masks, and paint, select, crop and filter with the tools you would expect.

It runs entirely on your Mac: no account, no cloud, nothing uploaded. The screenshots show an illustration generated for this page, not a real photograph. WyzePhoto is a focused editor, not a replacement for a full professional suite, and the limits are listed below.

What you get

1. Real layers — Stack as many layers as you need: add, duplicate, delete, rename, reorder, group, merge down, merge the visible ones or flatten the image. Each layer has its own opacity and visibility.
2. 17 blend modes — Combine layers with Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, Color Dodge, Linear Dodge, Color Burn, Linear Burn, Hard Light, Soft Light, Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Color and Luminosity, on top of Normal.
3. Adjustment layers you can change later — Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Vibrance, Exposure, Color Balance, Black & White, Threshold, Posterize and Invert. They sit above your photo without touching its pixels, so you can reopen and refine them at any time.
4. Curves with a real curve editor — Click to add a point, drag to move it and double-click to remove it, for the whole image or a single colour channel.
5. Layer masks — Hide or reveal parts of a layer without erasing anything. Create a mask from a selection, invert it, switch it on and off, apply it or delete it, and use clipping masks to limit a layer to the one below.
6. Selections — Rectangle, ellipse, lasso and magic wand, with add, subtract and intersect modes. Invert, feather, grow or shrink a selection.
7. Paint and fill tools — Brush and eraser with size, hardness, opacity and flow, plus a paint bucket, a gradient tool and a colour picker.
8. Crop, transform and resize — Crop with free or fixed proportions (1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9), rotate by 90° or 180°, flip, transform a layer by scale and rotation, and resize the image.
9. Filters — Gaussian blur, sharpen, noise and pixelate, with a live preview before you apply them.
10. Opens PSD, RAW and more — Open PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, TIFF and PSD files, and camera RAW files from the main makers (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF and others). Layers, masks, blend modes and many adjustments in a PSD come through.
11. Export where you need — Export PNG, JPEG, WebP or TIFF, or keep your layers in a PSD file or in WyzePhoto's own project format. A history panel lets you step back through your edits, with rulers, guides, a grid and snapping to help you place things.

Perfect for

• Photographers who want to correct light and colour without destroying the original
• Designers and creators who need layers and masks without a heavy suite
• Anyone who receives PSD or RAW files and wants to open and adjust them on a Mac
• People who want an image editor that works offline and keeps their files private
