The Weekly Edit #17 (Photomator)

For this week’s edit I am back in Photomator (https://www.pixelmator.com/photomator/) after some time.

Even though it (and its sister program Pixelmator Pro - https://www.pixelmator.com/pro/) have been acquired by Apple, they still offer a great editing option for photographers. Photomator being the Lightroom alternative and Pixelmator being the Photoshop alternative.

The image for this week was made on ski tour last winter, on the mountain behind our house here in the Swiss Alps.

With a little point and shoot camera (yes, seriously).

It’s about the vision, not the camera - right?

Learning as I go along and sharing the stoke.

Let’s go!
