Stand Alone App or macOS Photos Extension?

The macOS Photos Extension provides an easy way to edit your photos with macOS photos! Just select a photo and click “Edit”, followed by clicking on the circular action / extensions button to start Photo Pixel Filter. A very convenient method and probably the most efficient for most users.

For more advanced users, the stand alone version offers a few extra’s such as batch processing and the ability to save the photo in a different file format (HEIC for example). However this version does require to copy photo’s to a separate directory for editing or drag and drop them onto the App.
