Interface overview
When you open a photo to edit in Photomator, you'll notice two main sections of your workspace — the toolbar at the top and your photo in the center. The photo editing mode is activated when you select a tool. The options for that particular tool appear in a separate sidebar and change when you select a different tool.
Toolbar
The Photomator toolbar appears at the top of the screen, containing all the main tools and features you need to edit photos.
Go back to the Photos or Files browser Tap Cancel to return to the Photos or Files browser. If you have already applied some changes to a photo and would like to save them, tap Save in the dialog that appears, if not — tap Discard Changes to revert all changes and return to the browser.
Photomator tools Tap any of the Photomator tools to start adjusting colors, cropping, improving image quality and more.
Filmstrip browser
When editing photos, you can turn on the filmstrip to browse the photos in the album or folder you're working in without leaving the editing interface.
The filmstrip lets you conveniently browse photos, access more editing options, or select photos to quickly jump into editing. Simply scroll the filmstrip to find the photo you want to edit, then click or tap its thumbnail. If you swipe directly on a photo, the next or previous photo in the filmstrip will be automatically selected.
If swiping to show the next or previous photo doesn't work on iPhone or iPad, zoom out of the image and make sure the Crop and Repair tools are not selected.
Turn the filmstrip browser on or off
Tap Settings and make sure Filmstrip is turned on.
Quickly edit photos using the filmstrip
If you touch and hold a thumbnail in the filmstrip, it'll open the Quick Actions menu. Here, you can copy or paste adjustments from photo to photo, run pinned workflows, add photos to Favorites, delete them, and more.
See Filmstrip quick actions to learn more about the different filmstrip features.
Presets bar
Photomator offers a range of beautiful color adjustment presets designed to let you quickly change the look and feel of a photo. You can browse and apply the presets using the presets bar that is organized into 6 main categories on iPhone and iPad — Black and White, Cinematic, Classic Films, Landscape, Night, and Custom — and 4 more categories on Mac — Modern Films, Vintage, Urban, and Pixelmator Pro.
Turn the Presets bar on or off
Tap Settings and make sure Presets is turned on.
If you touch and hold a preset in the Presets bar, it'll open the Quick Actions menu with options for sharing, duplicating, redefining the preset, and more. You can also touch and hold the preset label to manage the entire preset collection: share, move it, view and edit details, and more.
