Radiant: AI Photo&Video Editor

I love their desktop application, “Radiant Photo,” and use it as a finishing step on all my photos. The mobile app has many of the same features, but I love how it takes a photo and makes it look great without going over the top. For social media, this is a one-tap application, and you have an image that can be posted immediately. The app is more powerful than that, and you have all the controls you would expect from a photo editing application on your mobile device. Radiant Photo has added video enhancement to the mobile app, and again, it is a fast way to make your video look great with one click. You can't make adjustments to the videos like you can to the photo part of the app, but for social media and quick enhancements to your video, it works great. In future versions, I hope they will add more features to the video portion of this mobile app. Mobile photographers, social media influencers, and anyone who wants to make their images look great will want this app on their mobile devices.

TL;DR - Don't walk - RUN and get this app ASAP - you'll use it everyday! I've been using Radiant Photo on my Mac for about a year, and am a massive fan because it ALWAYS improves my images, no matter what type of photo. So, when I heard that the team was developing a mobile app, I was super excited. The app is fast, easy-to-use and chock full of indispensable features. Their AI does a great job automatically identifying scenes (e.g. people, landscapes, animals, underwater) and making the image better. I often just export from there without manually doing any adjustments. However, Radiant also includes tons of tools for developing and stylizing images, including a big set of film looks. My favorite features? The ability to open images - including RAW files - from anywhere (yes, including Cloud drives!) plus Batch Processing. For instance, I'll go to a concert and take 50+ photos, then batch process them before sharing to social media - Radiant makes me look like a Rock Star myself! Bottom line: I highly recommend this app. Get it - even the free version - and it will be your secret weapon that makes all of your friends jealous - haha!

Previously, during the predecessor Lucid app’s usable lifetime, I rated it five stars. It was great as it was, and could have continued as an excellent one-time purchase app. Then, when the Perfectly Clear subscription app replaced it, I rated that one star——I felt that my old Lucid app no longer worked properly, it was handicapped to force Lucid app users to migrate to the Perfectly Clear app. The developer later explained that it was no longer feasible to keep the old app current for one small price, they had to develop a different subscription app to replace it. Maybe so, maybe not. I’m raising my rating to three stars, to try to be fair. All I can say is that too many fine one-purchase-price apps are changing to a recurring subscription and are not, to my belief, as good as the old app they replace. I’m still looking for a good replacement for the old Lucid app. Perfectly Clear is not equivalent, but some people may like it. I just won’t pay more for an app that is less satisfactory than what it replaces. Changing the app’s name and developer’s name and how the app functions is not an improvement. Still disappointed.
