@siracusa, Have you looked into Photomator from Pixelmator? its a great photo tool that retains the Apple Photos non-destructive edits. I've used it on the iPhone for years and they launched their Mac app earlier this year.
@siracusa It also calls to your Photos Library so no need to import into Photomator, exporting, then importing into Photos.app
@Kalebmotter I already use Pixelmator Pro from within Photos to do some edits.
