Be an expert photo editor
Advanced editing in Photos
Get to grips with the powerful toolset on Mac
The Photos app on iPhone offers a simplified interface for adjusting colour, tone, composition and erasing objects with tap and swipe gestures. For enhanced control, you can access more advanced tools in Photos on macOS.
Here, we’ll demonstrate how to use a histogram to understand the spread of tones in a shot and edit curves to adjust brightness and contrast with precision. You’ll learn how to make striking monochrome conversions by adjusting greyscale tones based on the shot’s original colours, and create more dramatic, high-contrast black-and-white images. You’ll develop your editing skills with these creative and advanced techniques, and produce more eye-catching images.
