runson your machine
installInstall the Windows .exe, macOS .dmg, or Linux AppImage/DEB/Flatpak; Android is an experimental sideload
enginesLocal subject, sky, and foreground masking, NIND denoising, LaMa inpainting, and optional handoff to a user-run ComfyUI backend
dataPhotos are never moved; non-destructive adjustments are stored in a documented .rrdata sidecar next to each image, while thumbnails, logs, and downloaded models live in local application data
setupDesktop binaries are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper need manual bypass steps; Linux AppImage users may also need libfuse2

Un catálogo y editor RAW deliberadamente más simple con presets, máscaras, calificaciones, selección y trabajo en lote; joven pero realmente instalable.
the catchIt lacks Capture One's professional tethering, Sessions workflow, mature camera profiles, and proven high-volume studio reliability.
the verdict →all Capture One alternatives →Un flujo de trabajo moderno de catálogo y edición más ligero con calificaciones, ajustes preestablecidos, máscaras y procesamiento por lotes; más nuevo, más amigable, menos probado.
the catchIt is friendlier and fully local, but remains young and lacks Lightroom's mature cloud and mobile ecosystem, large-library track record, and plug-in and preset market.
the verdict →all Adobe Lightroom alternatives →Importa carpetas, agrupa duplicados, marca desenfoques, admite calificaciones y pasa los seleccionados a un flujo de trabajo RAW sin suscripción.
the catchIts blur and duplicate grouping help, but the culling heuristics are young and do not learn a photographer's selections or match Aftershoot's production integrations.
the verdict →all Aftershoot alternatives →Un editor RAW empaquetado más nuevo con corrección de lente, reducción de ruido, máscaras y ediciones con GPU; más rápido de aprender, menos probado en batalla que darktable.
the catchIts denoise, masks, and lens correction are promising, but far less mature and broadly profiled than DxO's DeepPRIME and Optics Modules.
the verdict →all DxO PhotoLab alternatives →Preajustes no destructivos, máscaras, ediciones por lotes y procesamiento local en una app moderna; sin modelo de estilo de IA personalizado, sin factura recurrente.
the catchIts presets and masks stay reversible, but it does not train a personal editing profile or adapt batch decisions to each photograph.
the verdict →all Imagen AI alternatives →Edición RAW local con máscaras de IA, reducción de ruido, presets, desenfoque, corrección y trabajo por lotes; menos trucos predefinidos de cielo y brillo, mucho menos costo recurrente.
the catchIt includes useful local AI tools, but has far fewer finished one-click effects and creative assets and is much less mature than Luminar Neo.
the verdict →all Luminar Neo alternatives →Un nuevo editor RAW más amigable con biblioteca, calificaciones, selección, máscaras, preajustes y reducción de ruido; aún no tan profundo ni probado.
the catchIt offers a cleaner core RAW workflow, but fewer mature effects and generative tools, no comparable asset-extension ecosystem, and a much shorter track record.
the verdict →all ON1 Photo RAW alternatives →last updated 2026-08-10 · up to $732/yr replaced · no votes, no pay-to-list
