## What is Matisse Photo Editor?

Matisse is a local-first photo editor for iPhone and iPad.

Edit your photo library with a fast native workflow built around careful adjustment, masking, retouching, presets, and export.

CORE FEATURES
- Browse photos from your device library.
- Tune light, color, effects, detail, blur, and optics with precise controls.
- Build masks with brush, gradient, subject, sky, background, luminance, color range, depth, and scene-aware selections.
- Retouch distractions with local remove tools.
- Crop, straighten, transform, and review photo details.
- Save edited copies back to your photo library.

LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY
Matisse has no account system, no cloud workspace, and no advertising or third-party tracking SDKs. Photo access is used only so you can browse, edit, and save your own images on device. If you message us from Settings, that conversation and a random support ID go to our support provider so we can reply; nothing else from your library is sent. Matisse also reports crash and usage diagnostics.
