Now, forget everything I have said above, apart from the bit about machine learning technology. Because this is where the cutting-edge photo editing apps for Mac step in. Namely, Luminar 4 and Aurora HDR, two relatively fresh, but professional offerings for Mac by Skylum Software (formerly MacPhun).
If of course, like most professional photographers, you use Adobe’s Creative Cloud software. Both of Skylum’s Photo Editors work as a standalone or plugin extension with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, so to benefit from the most significant features you probably will not have to interrupt your current workflow.
