    ON1 Photo RAW MAX puts a photo studio in one app. You browse and organize your shoots, develop raw files, retouch with layers and masks, and finish with effects, without sending files between programs. The MAX edition can also run as a plugin inside other editors and carries extra tools such as Restore AI.

    Key Features

    • Complete raw editor with browsing, develop tools, layers and local adjustments in one place
    • AI tools for noise removal, sharpening, sky swaps, portraits and smart subject selection
    • Effects and Resize AI built in, so styling and large prints stay in the same workflow
    • MAX edition runs as a plugin in Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Apple Photos and Affinity Photo
    • Restore AI in MAX helps recover old, faded and damaged photos with guided repairs

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac installer, or Download from the official site instead.

    System Requirements

    Mainly plugin use in other editors, Restore AI and an extra installation. The core editor and AI tools are shared with the standard edition.

    Do I need a subscription to use it?

    Stellarium is a free planetarium that shows the sky as it really looks from your location. Set where you are, and the screen fills with stars, planets and the Moon in the right places. It is loved by beginners learning the constellations and by serious observers planning an evening with a telescope outside.

    Key Features

    • Watch a realistic sky in 3D for any place and time
    • Explore a large catalogue of stars and deep sky objects
    • Search planets, constellations and satellites and follow their paths
    • Learn constellation lines and artwork from many sky cultures
    • Control supported telescopes and plan observing sessions in advance

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page and save the Mac package file.
    2. You can also Download from the official site and pick the macOS build offered there.
    3. Open the package, move Stellarium to Applications, launch it and set your location.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac with graphics that support OpenGL and a current version of macOS. Extra star catalogues can be fetched from inside the app when you want more detail, so an internet connection helps at first, though the main sky works offline.

    FAQs

    Is Stellarium really free?

    Yes. The desktop version is free and open source. You can install it, use every main feature and share it with students freely.

    Can it show the sky from my town?

    Yes. Pick your location from the list or enter coordinates, and the view matches the sky above that place and time.

    Does it work without a telescope?

    Yes. Most people use it on its own to learn the sky. Telescope control is an extra for those who own one.

    A plain two colour gradient rarely looks expensive. Real light blooms, bleeds and softens at the edges, and that is the gap Cosmic aims to close. Sold through aescripts, Cosmic builds cinematic gradients directly on your shapes and text inside After Effects and Premiere Pro. Curated colour palettes plus glow and optical diffusion make ramps feel photographed rather than drawn, and GPU acceleration keeps previews responsive.

    Key Features

    • Cinematic gradients applied directly to shape and text elements in your timeline
    • Curated colour palettes that give you tasteful starting points in one click
    • Built in glow and optical diffusion for a soft, filmic falloff at the edges
    • GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon and NVIDIA hardware for responsive previews
    • Works in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, so a look can travel between apps

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page, or Download from the official site to get Cosmic.
    2. Install the plugin following the included instructions, then restart your host app.
    3. Apply Cosmic to a shape or text layer, choose a palette and shape the glow to taste.

    System Requirements

    Cosmic needs a Mac running a recent version of Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro. GPU acceleration is available on Apple Silicon Macs for smooth previews.

    FAQs

    Does Cosmic only work on text?

    No. It is designed for shapes and text elements alike, which covers titles, logos, lower thirds and graphic overlays.

    Can I build my own colour combinations?

    Yes. The curated palettes are starting points, and you can adjust the gradient to match your own brand or scene colours.

    Which apps does Cosmic run in?

    Cosmic runs inside Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro on Mac, using the GPU for faster rendering.

    ON1 Resize AI exists for one job: making photos bigger without the soft, smeared look that plain resizing gives. It descends from Genuine Fractals, the enlargement tool photographers trusted for years, and now pairs that base with AI models. The result is a print ready file from a tight crop, an old small image or a phone photo you want on the wall.

    Key Features

    • Enlarge photos up to ten times with detail, sharpness and clean edges kept intact
    • Two AI models, a highest quality model for hard cases and a standard model for speed
    • Face recovery that rebuilds small faces in group shots and old portraits
    • Print tools for tiling large murals, gallery wrap edges and exact print sizes
    • Batch mode for whole folders, plus plugin use in Photoshop and Lightroom Classic

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the Mac installer, or Download from the official site instead.
    2. Open the installer and follow the steps, then launch Resize AI from Applications.
    3. Open a photo, set your target size or scale and let the app build the enlarged file.

    System Requirements

    Needs a Mac running a current version of macOS. The highest quality model asks more of your graphics chip, so newer Macs finish big enlargements faster.

    FAQs

    How is this different from resizing in my editor?

    Resizing stretches the pixels you have. Resize AI studies the image and rebuilds detail as it grows, which matters at print sizes.

    Can it rescue a tight crop?

    Often, yes. Cropped and low resolution images are its home ground, though tiny or damaged files show limits.

    Is Resize AI included in Photo RAW?

    Yes. Resize AI is built into ON1 Photo RAW, and this standalone copy suits people who work mainly in other editors.

    System Requirements

    FAQs

    Will VueScan work with my old scanner?

    Very likely. The vendor lists thousands of supported models. Search your model on the site to confirm before you rely on it.

    What does Professional add?

    It adds the advanced side of the app, such as film scanning tools and deeper colour control, aimed at photo archives and serious work.

    Can I scan a stack of documents?

    macOS gives every app the same flat sound, whether that suits your headphones or not. eqMac sits between your apps and your speakers and fixes that.

    No. A few basics are enough, and the sample talks in the app show the pattern clearly.

    Can I present without the app?

    Yes. Export a PDF for any computer, or use the new HTML export to present from a browser with notes kept private.

    Where do my presentation files live?

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 12, 2026

    Linear Wipe+ is a small plugin for Adobe After Effects that takes the familiar linear wipe idea and gives you closer control over how the move looks. Instead of fighting with masks and mattes for a simple reveal, you apply the effect, pick a direction, soften the edge and keyframe the progress. It suits title reveals, logo moves and quick scene changes where a tidy edge is what the edit needs.

    Key Features

    • Control wipe angle and direction from a single effect panel
    • Keyframe transition completion for smooth and precise timing
    • Soften the moving edge with adjustable feather controls
    • Works on footage, text and shape layers inside a composition
    • Sits inside your normal After Effects workflow on Mac

    How to Download

    1. Use the download button on this page to get the plugin package.
    2. Run the installer, follow the prompts, then restart After Effects if it was open.
    3. Open a composition, apply the effect to a layer and set the angle, feather and completion values.

    System Requirements

    You need a Mac that runs a current version of Adobe After Effects, plus free space for the plugin and your projects. An After Effects licence from Adobe is required, since the plugin runs inside that host app.

    FAQs

    Is Linear Wipe+ a standalone app?

    No. It is a plugin that lives inside After Effects, so you use it from the Effects panel on layers in your compositions, just like a built in effect.

    Does it replace the built in Linear Wipe effect?

    No, it sits alongside it. Keep using the standard effect for basic moves and reach for this one when you want finer control.

    Where do I find it after installing?

    Restart After Effects, open the Effects panel and search for the plugin by name, then apply it to any layer.
