Previously Mac-only, Frames 1.3 introduces a universal family of apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Choose, develop and show your photographs on Mac, iPhone and iPad; enjoy your Photos library and slideshows on Apple TV. One purchase covers all four. Work from Apple Photos, folders and external drives in one catalogue, or import a memory card with duplicate checks and RAW+JPEG pairing. Editing leaves your originals unchanged, and processing and analysis run on your device. CHOOSE THE KEEPERS Sweep a shoot and keep or reject each photograph with one key or one tap. Rate the keepers, inspect the best and delete rejects only in Cleanup, after you confirm. Compare up to six photographs with linked zoom, see each face up close and check focus with peaking. In a burst, Compare can mark the frame whose subject is sharpest. Search by detected subjects, visible text, keywords and captions. DEVELOP EVERY RAW Set exposure, tone and white balance, or let Auto Tone set all six tone sliders at once. Shape RGB curves, tune eight colour bands in the mixer and grade shadows, midtones and highlights with wheels. Crop, straighten, correct perspective with guides and apply lens profiles. Switch to Monochrome for colour filters and toning, and add grain, halation and vignette. Start from 32 included looks at any strength, or import Lightroom presets. Look up any adjustment or tool in the Develop Field Guide, open beside the photograph. MASKS, REPAIRS AND VERSIONS Brush, draw linear and radial gradients, or mask by colour and brightness. Mask the detected subject, background or sky, each person, or one person's face, eyes, lips, skin or hair. With the Select tool, point at any object or draw a box around it. Heal and clone spots and strokes, and apply a saved sensor-dust map to a selection. Keep any number of versions beside ORIGINAL, compare two with a movable divider, and paste a treatment onto many photographs at once. JOURNEY AND WORLD Choose a day and see its stops on a map, numbered and joined in the order you took them. World lights a globe wherever you photographed, with the months beneath it: brush a span to narrow your library, switch to Every Year or Today, and press Play. Sort by date and the grid groups photographs into named trips and days. Place photographs from a GPX, FIT or KML track. PRESENT AND EXPORT Present a selection full screen with a slow drift, a dissolve or slide, paired portraits and captions. Soft proof, then export JPEG, HEIF, 16-bit TIFF or PNG with presets for size, colour space, metadata, file names and watermark. Add a frame and caption, or share a contact sheet as an image or PDF. With your permission, publish edits to Photos and revert them there. ON EVERY SCREEN Sync carries ratings, verdicts, keywords, captions, edits, versions, collections and looks through your private iCloud account. It is on from the first launch, uploads no photographs and turns off in Settings. Put Left to Choose, Left to Develop, Highest Rated, a collection or a slideshow in a widget, and keep or reject the next photograph from the widget itself. Start a show from the Present control. Frames works with Shortcuts, Siri, Spotlight and Handoff. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Browse, choose, develop and export by touch, in a layout that follows rotation and a folding iPhone's postures. Stand a folding iPhone like a tent and a slideshow starts. Place photographs from a Health workout route; Health routes stay on the device that read them. An import or export you start shows its progress in a Live Activity and keeps going when you leave Frames. Put count widgets on the iPhone Lock Screen and assign Present to the Action button. Sky masks and the Select tool need iOS 27 or iPadOS 27. TRY EVERYTHING A 30-day trial includes every feature. One in-app purchase unlocks Frames on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, with no subscription and no Frames account. Your catalogue and edits stay after the trial.
