CremaStudio is a fast, native image editor for macOS - open PSD and RAW files, edit with full layers, masks, and non-destructive adjustments, then export to open formats.
A real layered editor that launches in a blink and stays out of your way: tools on the left, layers and adjustments on the right, your image in the middle. Every change lands on a layer you can re-order, mask, or undo.
Highlights
- Full layered editing - a complete layer stack with groups, masks, opacity, and blend modes; rearrange, clip, merge, and flatten without baking anything in.
- Opens PSD & RAW - import layered PSD files with their layers intact, develop camera RAW, and open PNG, JPEG, WebP and TIFF.
- Non-destructive adjustments - Curves, Levels, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, Vibrance, Exposure and more as live adjustment layers you can re-edit any time.
- Free Transform - scale, rotate, skew, distort, and corner-pin (perspective) any layer with a live preview.
- Selections that stick - marquee, lasso, magic wand, quick selection, and Color Range, with feather, expand, contract, and invert.
- Filters with live preview - Gaussian and Motion blur, Sharpen, High Pass, and Add Noise, each with a slider you can dial in before you commit.
- Layer styles - drop shadow, inner shadow, outer and inner glow, colour and gradient overlay, bevel, and stroke, all from one Blending Options panel.
- Retouch & remove - content-aware fill and spot healing rebuild an area from the pixels around it, so objects and blemishes disappear cleanly.
- Export anywhere - save to open formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, ORA) or keep a native .pho project that preserves every layer.
How it works
Open a PSD, RAW, or image - or start a fresh document - and the full workspace is ready: paint, select, transform, and adjust, with rulers, guides, and snapping when you need precision. Adjustments and styles stay live, history tracks every step, and exports go straight to the format and size you want.
Perfect for
- Photographers - develop RAW, grade with adjustment layers, and finish exports on macOS.
- Designers - open layered PSD handoffs, tweak text and shapes, and re-export in seconds.
- Retouchers - quick selections, healing, and object removal without a heavyweight install.
- Web & content work - export optimised PNG, JPEG, or WebP at any size for sites, posts, and decks.
