Color Efex Pro 4
Color Efex Pro 4 is a photo enhancement plugin and standalone application from Google that provides a comprehensive set of filters and adjustments for colour correction, creative effects, and image finishing. It includes tools like saturation, vibrance, tonal contrast, glamour glow, and many other filters used by photographers for post-processing workflows. The app can be used both as a standalone editor and as a plugin within other image editing software like Photoshop or Lightroom. It is popular among professional photographers and enthusiasts seeking advanced colour control without needing to master complex adjustment curves.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about Color Efex Pro 4's Apple Silicon support status. Given that this is a Google photography tool and the search results were sparse, contact Google directly or check the product's support page to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. This is important because the Intel-only build will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — that gives you roughly two years to plan your next steps. If Google has not committed to a native version, consider whether DxO PhotoLab (native support confirmed), Affinity Photo (native support), or Capture One (native support) might serve as longer-term alternatives for your colour and effects workflow, as they all run natively on Apple Silicon and are actively maintained.
