An Afterlight alternative for your whole library.
Afterlight is a film editor and camera with hundreds of filters and textures. EditAll is one film look on your whole library.
Afterlight has more than 300 film-inspired presets, light leaks and dust textures, and film effects like halation and double exposure, which makes it great for crafting one photo. EditAll works the other way round: choose a look and every photo already in your Apple Photos library shows it, and the camera shoots in it too.
Already edited when you open it.
Take a trip's worth of photos. In EditAll every one of them is already in your look, so there is nothing left to edit, only to choose and share. In Afterlight, each photo is edited before it can be shared.
