Remove dust, spots, smudges and a variety of imperfections on any photo.
Image Preset Library
Now it's easier to tap into the power of presets to automate more of your repetitive processing jobs or quickly reproduce a look that would otherwise be tedious to replicate. The new Image Preset Library lets you browse, preview and download free and for-purchase presets.

Corel AfterShot 3 for Mac is downloadable photo-editing and photo-management software for Mac users who want to correct images, retouch portraits, and process large batches without spending hours editing.
Recommended For
- Mac photographers learning a desktop RAW workflow who want to make basic exposure, color, detail, and distortion corrections without moving straight to a more feature-rich editor.
- Hobbyists who organize photos in folders and want to browse, adjust, and export images without relying on a catalog-based library.
- Photographers processing repeated batches—such as event or travel photos—who want to apply similar adjustments and export many images together.
- Casual portrait and everyday-photo editors who need straightforward blemish cleanup and local corrections rather than extensive retouching.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- After a vacation, portrait session, or other photo shoot, browse a folder, review thumbnails, and rate or flag keepers; this helps narrow a large set to the images worth editing without requiring a catalog-first workflow.
- When many photos from the same event or outing need similar basic corrections, copy adjustments or use batch processing, then export the selected images together; this can reduce repetitive editing and produce ready-to-share files.
- When a RAW photo has washed-out highlights or needs exposure and color correction, adjust tone and color before exporting; the result can recover some visible detail and bring the image closer to the intended look, depending on the original file.
- When preparing portraits or close-up photos for sharing, use the retouching tools to remove small blemishes or stray imperfections; this is suited to modest cleanup rather than extensive, layer-heavy compositing.
- For a growing photo archive, add images to the library and use metadata or ratings to find and sort them later; this is more useful for cross-folder searching than relying only on a tidy folder structure.
