You can also pin adjustment tiles but for the life of me I can’t figure out what pinning accomplishes. You may want to adjust your color before you boost saturation and with CameraBag you can rearrange adjustment tiles on the fly to do just that. As you add adjustment tiles, you can reorder them which is really cool. It has an X to remove the adjustment entirely, and an on/off button to temporarily remove the adjustment and add it back. The tile that gets added by selecting an Adjustment is interesting. Obviously, you simply slide that slider up and down to affect Exposure. When an Exposure tile is added, you’ll see a heads-up slider on screen that says Amount and a little slider with 50.00 above it. Let’s use Exposure as a really simple example. When you select an adjustment in CameraBag, it places a small tile at the bottom of the screen. These animations are not gimmicks, they really show you whether the adjustment you’re hovering over is the one you need. Let’s say for example you hover over the Exposure adjustment, the large preview thumbnail will change over time from high exposure to low exposure and back. They are the usual suspects such as exposure, contrast, saturation, etc. In addition to the presets, there are a plethora of individual adjustments. Adjustments CameraBag showing Coloring Curve Adjustments There are 9 in Black & White Essentials, 14 Black & White Film, 20 under Classic Photography, 35 under Color Correction and after that I got tired of counting! But we have categories of presets for Color Essentials, Film Grain, Film Stock Motion, Film Stock Still, Film Techniques, Film Tone, Filtered Black & White, Mattes, Monocolor and Pop Art! This is a huge number of presets. They’re collected in little drop downs so you don’t have to load a whole new set each time you change looks. Many higher-priced photo editors have a very few number of presets, but for $20 with CameraBag you get an enormous collection of presets. If you don’t like the hover over previews for the adjustments, you can turn that off in the menus. It is lightning fast in showing you the previews, so it’s very easy to skip past ones that are of no interest until you find the look you desire. With the Presets tab selected and an image on screen, as you slide over the different preset names, you’ll see a very large thumbnail pop out in the top right showing you how that preset will work on your photo. Let’s look at the Presets first because it will make it a bit easier to explain the interface. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end. So far it sounds like every other photo-editing app, other than the fact that the text and tabs are vertical rather than horizontal. Along the right side are two tabs, one for adjustments and one for presets. You load a photo (or video) into the main window, either by dragging or using the menu or hitting the O key. But the way CameraBag presents the adjustments is unique. Like most photo editors, CameraBag works on a series of adjustment sliders for light and color. Let’s take a look at how CameraBag works and what sets it apart. I am seriously impressed with this software and don’t understand why it’s so inexpensive. CameraBag is a photo editor, while CameraBag Pro can do the same types of edits on video as well as photos. Never Center also has CameraBag (without the pro) for $20. It’s available inside Setapp, or you can buy it for $40 directly from the developer. Today I’d like to focus on CameraBag Pro from /…. I love photography apps and I’m finding some interesting ones.
