Darkroom 7 brings a rebuilt core and Mac/iPad‑focused tools
Darkroom has released version 7 of its photo editor, a comprehensive overhaul that emphasizes Mac and iPad users. The update centers on a reworked core engine and workflow improvements built for large displays and precise input methods, though the app remains available for iPhone as well.
The release targets photographers and creatives who rely on larger screens and are looking for a more desktop‑class editing experience on Apple devices. Darkroom says the changes are aimed at improving speed, responsiveness and the overall editing workflow when using trackpad, mouse, Apple Pencil or keyboard shortcuts.
What to expect in Darkroom 7
- Rebuilt core engine focused on performance and responsiveness on Mac and iPad.
- Workflow and UI refinements optimized for large displays and precise input (trackpad, mouse, Apple Pencil).
- Maintained iPhone support — the app remains available across Apple devices, with the biggest gains on iPad and Mac.
- Improved multitasking and layout that take advantage of bigger screens for side‑by‑side editing and more visible toolsets.
Darkroom has positioned this update for users who want an experience closer to a desktop editor while staying within Apple’s ecosystem. If you edit photos frequently on an iPad with a keyboard or on a Mac, version 7 promises practical improvements to speed and precision.
