The perfect Lightroom alternative. Easy culling, intuitive sliders, great presets - everything I need as a hobbyist.

How is Photon different from other photo editors?
Most editors give you tools but no context. Photon teaches you as you edit with real-time AI guidance, so you make confident decisions instead of randomly adjusting sliders.
Do I need editing experience?
No. Photon is designed for beginners with built-in AI guidance that teaches you as you edit.
Do I need to watch tutorials to use Photon?

RAW and JPEG files from any camera brand.
Is it available for Mac and Windows?

What editing tools are included?

How much cloud storage do I get?
5GB of cloud storage to sync your photos and edits across devices.
