Evoto
Batch retouching for photographers who shoot volume
Evoto is built for the photographer who comes home with four hundred frames and has to make all of them look the same. Skin, teeth, eyes, background swaps and colour all apply across a selection rather than one image at a time, and the corrections stay adjustable afterwards. It is priced by credits, one per photo, sold in annual bundles. A retoucher working on a single hero image will find nothing here they cannot already do better by hand.
Our note
Work out your credit consumption from one real job before picking a bundle, because the per-credit price falls steeply and buying the wrong tier costs more than the difference between them. The rollover is what makes the annual commitment survivable through a slow season.
ON1 Photo RAW
Raw editing and layers, bought once
ON1 Photo RAW covers browsing, raw processing, retouching, layers and masks in one application, which is the pitch: the two Adobe programs most photographers rent, without renting them. It runs on your own machine and keeps working when you stop paying, because there is nothing to stop paying. The catalogue handling is the part that divides people.
