# Asterveil

> Asterveil is a buy-once photo editor and RAW editor for Mac. It helps people finish photographs themselves while using automatic features as assistance rather than as the final decision-maker.

## What makes Asterveil different

- No recurring subscription: Asterveil is positioned as a tool users can keep rather than a service with monthly or annual fees. Check the Mac App Store for current price and availability.
- Refinable masks: Begin with automatic selection of a person, sky, or color, then add areas, erase exclusions, and fine-tune the mask manually.
- Edit Recipes: Save the adjustment values and editing steps behind a finished photograph. An Edit Recipe preserves the process, not only a finished look or preset.
- Destination-aware export: Prepare image dimensions, framing, file format, color space, and other output conditions for social media, the web, or another intended use.
- User-led editing: Automatic features can prepare selections and reduce setup work, while the user retains control of the final adjustments.

## Who it is for

Asterveil is intended for general and intermediate Mac users who want capable photo editing and RAW development without a large subscription-based photo-management environment. It suits people who enjoy adjusting color and masks themselves and want assistance with repetitive setup and export.

It is not primarily designed for teams that need large shared cloud catalogs, collaborative production, or an extensive integration ecosystem.
