Ohanaware has released Magic, a photo enhancing application for Mac OS X. It was designed to improve the luminosity and colors of a photo based upon traditional photography techniques.

Complimenting the core functionality, Magic also includes vignette (with corner softness), border and a new stylize selector (which features Ohanaware’s third generation Toning engine). Auto Enhancement will attempt to correct exposure, colors and red eye.

Ohanaware’s real time effects engine is at the heart of magic, providing direct feedback to the user as options are adjusted and tweaked. Sixteen click syles are included in the app, so you can alter the photo’s look with one tap on the trackpad or mouse.

Magic sharing supports Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Apple Mail, Messages, AirDrop, iPhoto, Aperture and the upcoming Yosemite Photos app. A new split-view preview displays the original and edited image, with a divider down the middle that can be moved.

Magic is available from the Ohanaware website (www.ohanaware.com) for US$19.99. A 14-day demo is available for download. Magic requires Mac OS X 10.9 or higher.
