Intensify CK
Intensify CK is a photo editor from Skylum focused on detail enhancement and contrast control. It lets photographers boost image details, sharpness and structure with presets or manual adjustments, and includes RAW processing, layers with masking, batch processing, and plug-in support for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and Apple Aperture. The app works with standard image formats and RAW files from most camera manufacturers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionIntensify CK has been discontinued by its vendor and is no longer supported or developed. There is no native Apple Silicon build, and the Intel-only version will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you use Intensify CK for photo editing, you should begin evaluating alternatives now. For RAW processing and detail enhancement, consider Skylum's actively maintained Luminar AI or Luminar Neo (both ship with native Apple Silicon support), or Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop if you subscribe to Creative Cloud. For a free or lower-cost option, Darktable is an open-source RAW editor with confirmed native support, though it has a steeper learning curve. Because Intensify CK is discontinued with no path to a native build, switching to an actively maintained alternative before September 2028 is your only option to preserve your photo-editing workflow on future macOS releases.
