Athentech’s new consumer photo editing app, Lucid, pairs a slick, post-Yosemite interface with tasteful, natural image enhancement options to create a product that is as easy-to-use as it is helpful. Lots of photo editing apps offer a seemingly limitless suite of features that exist only to bulk up the app – most crazy filters are borderline useless, adding unnecessary muddiness to photos when simplicity would do. Luckily Lucid avoids this trap by focusing in on what it does well, getting you in and out of the app as soon as possible. Lucid is particularly useful for snapshots taken with a smartphone; since smartphones are generally unable to reproduce colors and scenes that are true to life without some tweaking on the camera – exposure adjustments, white balance, etc. – Lucid can seamlessly plug into your photo importing process. And with a very generous trial period, Lucid is able to give you 30 days of its uninhibited power, nearly assuring it becomes a go-to of yours. While Lucid has established itself as an iOS power player, it’s still a fledgling Mac app, so some of its growing pains show through; but if this is where the app’s beginning, it’ll be a delight to see where it ends up.
