Overview
Compositor is a full-featured image editor for the Mac, built around a Photoshop-style compositing and post-processing workflow. It is a native app written in Swift, distributed through its website, GitHub releases and Homebrew. Because it is open source, you can open the Xcode project and add, remove or change any feature.
What it does well
Compositor has layers and folders with Photoshop's full set of blend modes, layer and clipping masks, adjustment layers such as Curves, Levels and Hue/Saturation, and GPU-rendered layer effects. Transforms are non-destructive, selections include Select Subject and an object-aware Magic tool, and retouching covers Content-Aware Fill, a Spot Healing Brush and Clone Stamp.
Why it’s in the collection
Compositor is one of the few open-source image editors that feels familiar to Photoshop users, and it is a native Mac app. It is MIT-licensed.
