It seems to me that Photomator itself does better if you apply the high resolution option (don't know if this option is available in Pixelmator). Either it looses less data due no noise reduction.. or just the upscaling itself plus the automatic noise reduction yields better results than just the auto noise reduction alone. Not the best long term solution, but better than the blotchy mess we currently get. It's kind of unfortunate because otherwise the software is my favourite. Lightroom cc is damn nearly unusable on laptop, kills battery like nothing, etc etc.
Yeah, usability wise it's truly lovely for everyday quick adjustments but the more I dig in, the more I feel like I miss lots of definition out of photos when trying to extract best out of RAW. In less demanding shots, Pixelmator/Photomator is fine but I simply get more organic, consistent results in Lr/PS.
Pixelmator Pro gave a sneak peek that the raw formats will be updated soon. Done by Apple themselves and Pix Pro will adopt it. A lot of camera formats will be supported. Lets see how good at is after the Update
Hi, it is just a small update on supporting new cameras, nothing was changed in terms of file handling. It's still doing the same "corrections" before user starts editing the Raw image.

Is Photomator having the same problem?
Yep, since both softwares are using Apple Raw engine, you get same results
Hi Martinas ! We've really liked your channel. We'd like to collaborate with you. How can we get in touch?
Whoa, thanks for noticing my channel! Please write me an email to skids.robotic-0z@icloud.com and I will comeback with answer!
Could you do an update after pix Pro updated the raw engine?
Hi, just checked the update - it's only for new camera support, nothing else has been done in terms of performance of handling raw file differently.
@@martynas1 Thank you, I have posted your video on the Pix Pro forum for Improvements
@@MrOliver1444 Thank you! I wish Apple would improve their RAW engine
