Exposure, contrast and saturation. Warmth and tint. Shadows and highlights. A monotone RGB tone curve and six-band HSL mixer for the colors that matter.

Native to the device.
True to your workflow.
Real screens from the current builds. The desktop editor leads the way; mobile currently offers device and shared-folder setup.

The ARM64 and x64 builds are prepared. A genuine screenshot will follow Windows VM setup and runtime testing.

Make the photograph
feel like yours.
Develop supported RAW, HEIC, JPEG, PNG and TIFF photographs with precise color, tone and composition controls. Keep the original and save the decisions.
Development preview · desktop editing implemented
Screenshots show development builds. iPhone, iPad and Android screens are setup foundations; mobile photo editing is still in development.
The desktop toolkit
Small adjustments.
A photograph transformed.
From the first exposure correction to the final crop, work with the photograph—not against it.
Keep the intention.
Adjust conventional sharpening and noise reduction. Crop in original coordinates, rotate by 90°, compare before and after, and move through your undo history.
A starting point.
Then your signature.
Nine editable recipes, from Natural Landscape to Black and White. Fine-tune every setting. On Mac, save and reload your own styles, or apply one recipe to a batch.
Precision under the surface. Float32 linear-sRGB processing, color-managed input and a luminance histogram on Mac. Export full-resolution sRGB JPEG or 16-bit TIFF.

Every publish keeps earlier copies. Your installed service handles transport; GGAP Photo does not sign you in or upload photos through its own cloud.

An honest look at the current build
Built with care.
Still becoming.
GGAP Photo is a development preview. Here is what is implemented now, and what is coming next.
| Capability | macOS | Windows | iPhone / iPad | Android |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exposure, color, curves & HSL | Implemented | Implemented | Planned | Planned |
| Detail, crop, rotate & history | Implemented | Implemented | Planned | Planned |
| Nine built-in styles | Implemented | Implemented | Planned | Planned |
| JPEG & 16-bit TIFF export | Implemented | Implemented | Planned | Planned |
| Histogram, custom styles & batch | Implemented | Planned | Planned | Planned |
| Supported RAW & HEIC import | System codecs | Planned | Not validated | Not validated |
| Shared-copy publishing | Implemented | Implemented | Setup only | Setup only |
| Device & provider selection | Implemented | Implemented | Foundation | Foundation |
“Implemented” describes the current development code, not a signed public release. Mobile screenshots show setup screens. End-to-end cloud transfer and physical mobile-device validation remain pending.
A few useful details.
Which photographs can I open?
Mac opens JPEG, PNG, TIFF, system-supported HEIC and camera RAW supported by the installed Apple decoder. Actual Nikon Zf lossless, High Efficiency★ and High Efficiency NEF samples have been decoded at 6048 × 4032 on macOS 27.2. Other cameras are not advertised as validated without real samples. Windows currently opens JPEG, PNG, TIFF and BMP; RAW and HEIC support is still pending.
Are my original photographs changed?
No. Projects store reversible adjustment recipes and undo history. Exports are separate files, and the app protects the source from being overwritten. Shared-copy publishing copies the original alongside the editable project. Save projects explicitly before closing; autosave and unsaved-close protection remain future work.
Is this an AI editor?
The current build uses conventional, adjustable image processing. On-device AI assistance, segmentation, masks, sky tools and advanced retouching are future work. No generative model or automatic model download is included in the current app.
How do exports and previews work?
Desktop exports render at full resolution in sRGB: JPEG at 8-bit or TIFF at 16-bit. Source metadata is omitted. The Mac preview is limited to 1600 pixels, so its zoom is not a full-resolution detail loupe. Current image processing has a 40-megapixel input limit and uses full-frame decode/export buffers.
Do I need an app account or a particular cloud?
GGAP Photo has no account requirement. A shared-folder service needs its own separately installed client and account. Choose iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or a custom folder available to your devices. Each publish creates an independent snapshot; there is no automatic merge or deletion.
Can I edit on my phone or tablet yet?
Not yet. The current iPhone, iPad and Android apps are foundations with device/provider choices and folder selection. Touch photo editing, project browsing and mobile rendering parity are still being developed.
