The photo editing software interface is very basic, no sliders or settings are available. I’m not sure what information actually is uploaded too the cloud and what is processed on your own PC, but the Photolemur algorithm needs to constantly learn in order to improve, so there is definitely a transfer of data to their server with every image you process. It, however, does not work without an internet connection and you’ll need an online account to actually be able to process any photos. Photolemur is available as a 150MB download that you install just like any other application on your mac or PC. Photolemur 2 now also supports RAW files, so this gave me hope that Photolemur had upped the game a notch and that it might be a useful program to quickly edit photos, at least as a starting point. But since they have now completely overhauled the software and have made substantial changes to the algorithm, it decided to give it a second try. I tried the Photolemur version one release last year and was not impressed at all. It’s made by a UK-based startup comprising an international team of photographers, developers, and entrepreneurs. At the core of the “in the cloud” software is a self-learning algorithm that analyses the components of your photos (faces, colors, and objects) and makes adjustments accordingly.
Photolemur is a very simple photo editing software application that should enhance just about any image you run through it. You can find my updated Photolemur 3 review here. Update, there is a new version out which is superior to earlier versions and definitely worth the money.
