From the first layer to the final detail
Combine images with groups, blend modes, clipping and layer masks, fill layers, frames and layer effects such as glows, bevels and overlays. Smart objects keep the original pixels, so filters stay editable in a list you can switch off, reorder and reopen.
Refine light and color with curves, levels, exposure, hue and saturation and editable adjustment layers. Work in CMYK, Lab, Indexed, Bitmap or Duotone, view each channel, assign or convert color profiles, soft-proof for print and blend in linear light.
Select with marquees, lasso, magnetic lasso, magic wand, Quick Selection, the Selection Brush, Object and Color Range, Focus Area and Sky. Select and Mask refines hair-fine edges and can clean up fringe colors.
Paint with image brush tips, pressure and tilt, symmetry and presets. Mix colors with the Mixer Brush, stamp patterns, heal and clone from five sources, patch and move content aware, and reshape with Liquify, Mesh, Puppet and Perspective Warp.
Set rich text with character and paragraph styles, OpenType features, vertical and path type, and warps. Draw with the Pen tool and shapes, and lay out pages with artboards, slices and guides.
Record actions and play them on one image or a whole folder, run scripts and plugins, fill templates from a data set, and animate with a frame timeline that exports GIF, APNG and movies.
Stack and resize panel groups, float panels, tile documents side by side, rotate the view and choose a screen mode. Customize the tool bar and menus, and keep your brushes, gradients, patterns and styles in one resource library.
Open PSD and GIMP files, camera RAW with development controls, OpenEXR and HDR with tone mapping, PDF pages, SVG and everyday photo formats. Export PNG, JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, GIF, PDF and OpenEXR, with metadata kept.
Every step is undoable, History lets you step back and forward, and versions of a project can be compared and restored. Nothing leaves your Mac.

A few useful details
Yes. Editing and project files stay on your Mac. The app does not require an account or upload your photographs to an editing service.
Yes. Save your work as a .comp project to preserve its layers and editable composition. PNG, JPEG and TIFF exports are flattened images.
Layered photo editing, retouching and compositing; type, paths and page layout with artboards; print preparation with CMYK and soft proofing; frame animation; and automation with actions, scripts, data sets and plugins. Layers are 8 bits per channel: 16-bit precision is used only for linear-light blending, and HDR images are tone mapped when they open. Plugins are scripts of the app's own commands and can't run other code.
Oanarina Photo Editor is developed by Oana Rinaldi. Its native editing foundation is the MIT-licensed Compositor project by Wonder Assembly LLC. The original open-source license is included with the app.
