Diffraction is a comprehensive image editor designed specifically for macOS and tailored to the needs and mindset of creative creators. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, Diffraction offers robust tools to enhance and create stunning images. With Diffraction, you can color correct and retouch your photos, make creative compositions with layers and masks, or create your own images from scratch using its powerful brush tools, which include dozens of realistic and fun brushes.
Create intricate compositions with ease using layers and layer masks. Diffraction’s adjustment layers enable you to losslessly color correct your images, ensuring every edit is non-destructive and reversible.
Diffraction documents support multiple pages, making it effortless to work with file formats that accommodate multiple images in a single file – such as TIFF.
Transform your images with a variety of effect filters. Sharpen or blur your photos, add creative distortion effects, or apply halftone patterns to give your images a comic or newspaper print look. For an artistic touch, use the pointillize filter to make your photos appear painterly.
Diffraction offers a range of filters to suit every creative need.
Diffraction’s editing tools make it easy to crop and resize images, paint or erase with precision, and draw gradients. Enhance your photos with retouching tools like dodge & burn, clone stamp, and spot removal, giving you the flexibility to perfect every detail.
