Organise and develop your photos
Photo Studio is a photo organiser and RAW developer for your Windows PC. Keep every shoot in one catalog, pick the keepers, develop them without ever changing the original files, and export finished copies.
Version 1.0.0 · Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
Comes with every paid plan, or buy it once. Without either, you can still organise and view photos. An alternative to Adobe Lightroom Classic, Capture One.

Pay once and keep Photo Studio without a subscription.
$100
One-time payment. The key arrives by e-mail and in your account.
Add photos to a catalog where they already are, then find any picture by folder, keyword, rating or text. Rate, flag and label as you go.
Adjust white balance, tone, colour and detail with settings that are stored beside the photo, never written into it. Every step stays in the history and you can reset at any time.
Change one part of a photo and leave the rest alone. Paint an adjustment on with a brush, or fade it in with a gradient.
On plans with advanced features, Photo Studio develops RAW files from the sensor data. Without them, a RAW photo shows the preview your camera embedded, and you can still organise it.
Save a look as a preset, keep snapshots of a photo at different stages, and copy or synchronise settings across a whole series.
Export developed copies with presets for format, size and naming, lay out single photos or contact sheets as PDF or JPEG pages, and play a slideshow on screen.
Photo Studio opens on every plan. A paid plan or a permanent license unlocks exporting and printing.

Yes. A permanent license unlocks every Photo Studio 1 feature, including RAW develop and exporting several presets at once, on two computers. It covers version 1; a future version 2 will need a new license or a Motaware plan. You can move the license to another computer from the app.
Exporting, printing, writing metadata to files and Copy or Move import need a paid Motaware plan. Developing RAW files from sensor data and exporting several presets at once need a plan with advanced features. See Pricing for the plans.
Photo Studio still opens your catalogs, adds photos where they are, and lets you browse, search, rate, keyword and develop on screen. Exporting and printing wait until you have a plan or a license. You are never locked out of your own photos.
No. Develop settings are stored in the catalog, and optionally in XMP files beside the photos. Originals are only touched when you explicitly delete, move or rename them.
No. Photos is the web app for backing up and sharing your library. Photo Editor is a desktop app for editing one image in layers. Photo Studio is for organising and developing whole shoots.
Download Photo Studio for Windows, then sign in with your Motaware plan or enter a permanent license key.
