What are the main benefits of Digiarty Aiarty Image Enhancer MacOS?

Aiarty Image Enhancer for macOS is Digiarty's desktop application for denoising, sharpening, restoring and upscaling photos and AI-generated images with AI models that run directly on the Mac. It works as a finishing step next to a photo editor such as Lightroom Classic, not as a replacement for one.

Print-ready enlargements – Small crops become large prints at up to 1000 DPI.
Old photo rescue – Real-Photo v3 and face restoration repair scanned prints.
Lightroom integration – Registers automatically as external editor in Lightroom Classic.
Private processing – Images stay on the Mac, not used for training.
Commercial use – License includes commercial rights at no extra cost.
Unlimited batches – No cap on the number of images per batch.

What does Digiarty Aiarty Image Enhancer MacOS do?

Aiarty Image Enhancer for macOS removes noise, blur and JPEG compression artifacts from images and enlarges them with AI models that run locally on the Mac. It can keep the original size at 1x and only improve quality, or upscale by 2x, 4x or 8x up to a maximum of 16K. Face restoration, color correction, crop and rotate tools, SDR-to-HDR conversion and an AI remover for unwanted objects or text, still marked as beta, are part of the same workflow. Settings found for one image can be applied to an entire batch, which saves time when a whole folder of high-ISO event photos needs the same noise treatment.

Which Macs does Aiarty Image Enhancer run on?

The Mac version runs on both Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs. According to Digiarty's technical specifications, Intel Macs need macOS Catalina 10.15 or later, while Apple Silicon Macs with M1, M2, M3, M4 or M5 chips, including Pro, Max and Ultra variants, need macOS Big Sur 11 or later. CoreML acceleration, which uses the GPU and Neural Engine for faster processing, requires macOS 12 or later. A Mac still running Catalina or Big Sur can therefore use the software, but will not benefit from that hardware acceleration.

How does the Mac version differ from the Windows version?

The feature set is largely the same, because Digiarty releases current versions for Windows and Mac together, but the maximum resolution is different. On a Mac, enhancement and upscaling go up to 16K, while the Windows version reaches 32K. Images that already sit at the 16K limit can only be processed in 1x mode, which denoises, deblurs and removes JPEG artifacts without enlarging further. License codes are platform-specific, so a Mac code cannot activate the Windows version, and the Windows+Mac bundle contains two separate codes. Anyone who regularly prepares very large panoramas or wall-size prints beyond 16K should take this difference into account before choosing the Mac version.

Which AI model should be used for which type of image?

The model choice has more influence on the result than any other setting. More-Detail GAN v3 and v2 generate fine detail in hair, skin, fabric, fur and architecture, and Digiarty names 2x as the factor that gives the best results with v3. AIGCsmooth v3 is designed for AI-generated images and adds texture while keeping their smooth look, while Smooth Diff v2 suits cartoons, 2D animation and line art. Real-Photo v3 targets photorealistic images and old photo restoration. An optional 2-pass mode adds an extra 1x step to More-Detail GAN v3 and AIGCsmooth v3 for richer texture, at the cost of longer processing time.

Which file formats and camera RAW files does the Mac version support?

Aiarty Image Enhancer opens JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, BMP and JPEG 2000 files as well as camera RAW formats such as DNG, CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, ORF and PEF. Results can be exported as JPG, PNG in 8 or 16 bit, TIFF, DNG, AVIF or HEIC, with output DPI selectable from 72 to 1000. HEIC input is useful on a Mac because iPhone photos synced through the Photos app can be enhanced without converting them first. Original EXIF data is kept automatically, and TIFF or DNG export preserves a higher bit depth for further grading in a RAW editor.

What are the limitations of Aiarty Image Enhancer for macOS?

Aiarty Image Enhancer is an automated enhancement and upscaling tool, not a layered photo editor, so it has no layers, masks or local brush adjustments. It opens camera RAW files, but it does not offer catalog management or the full development toolset of a RAW converter such as Lightroom Classic. The program processes still images only. On a Mac, output is capped at 16K, and images at that size can only be processed in 1x mode. The AI remover for objects and text is still a beta feature, so results on complex backgrounds should be checked closely before delivery.

Does Aiarty Image Enhancer need an internet connection or AI credits?

No, image processing runs locally on the Mac, and there is no credit system that limits how many images can be processed. This differs from many online upscaling services, where each enlarged image uses up part of a monthly allowance. Digiarty also states that customer images are not used for AI training without explicit consent. For client shoots, unreleased product photos or private family archives, this means the files never have to be uploaded to a third-party server.

Can images enhanced with Aiarty Image Enhancer be used commercially?

Yes, Digiarty includes commercial rights in its licenses at no extra cost. Photographers can deliver enhanced images to clients, and online shops can upscale existing product photos for zoom views or printed catalogs. Digiarty points out that the user remains responsible for owning the images or holding the right to use them, so enhancing a picture does not create usage rights to someone else's work.

Who is the Mac version of Aiarty Image Enhancer best suited for?

It suits Mac users who need to rescue or enlarge existing images rather than build composites or retouch with layers. A photographer working in Lightroom Classic on an Apple Silicon Mac can send noisy high-ISO shots to Aiarty through the automatically configured external editor and get DNG or TIFF files back into the catalog. Families and archivists digitizing old prints benefit from Real-Photo v3 and face restoration, which rebuild blurred facial detail in scans. Anyone who needs layer-based retouching will still need a separate photo editor, and anyone who needs output beyond 16K should consider the Windows version instead.

Frequently asked questions about Digiarty Aiarty Image Enhancer MacOS

Can image quality be improved without changing the resolution?

Yes, the 1x option applies denoising, deblurring and JPEG artifact removal while keeping the original pixel dimensions. This is useful when an image already has the right size for a website or layout but looks soft or noisy.

Can Aiarty Image Enhancer convert images to HDR?

Yes, since version 3.9 the software can convert 8-bit SDR images to 10-bit HDR. Since version 3.10, HDR results can also be exported as TIFF or DNG files.

Can several faces in one photo be restored individually?

Yes, since version 3.13 face restoration can be switched on or off for each detected face, and its strength is adjustable. An autopilot option can also select suitable faces automatically, which saves time with group photos.
