Mac OS X comes with its own default photo management application, yet the utility does not include image processing or metadata management tools.

Emulsion combines all these functionalities and then some in order to provide a complete solution that will meet all your photo management necessities.

Emulsion offers you the possibility to either copy your images into your library or simply reference the original files. Either way, within the app’s main window you can group images by albums, assign tags, add geolocation details, give out ratings, and so on.

Emulsion packs a collection of powerful editing tools that offer you the possibility to crop the photos, to clone certain sections, or to simply rotate the picture.

The utility integrates adjustments sets that help you give a certain look to as many images as you like, with a simple mouse click.

Last but not least, Emulsion offers you the possibility to quickly catalog both your cameras and your lenses, and to associate images that have been captured with each one. This way you can compare and contrast photos grabbed by different equipment.

To conclude, Emulsion is a rather complete photo management solution that has the potential to satisfy both hobbyist and professional photographers.
