I am using Photos Revive on a MacBook and I am launching directly from Apple Photos > Edit (as an extension). The automatic colorisation works fine, but I can’t find a way to access the Photos Revive menu from within the Apple Photos app (as you can with other extensions). I want to be able to save a manually colorised photo directly back into my Photos.Photoslibrary, and I can’t. It doesn’t seem to work the same way as my other Photos App Extensions.
Thank you for your message and for using PhotosRevive!
You’re absolutely right. While the automatic colorization works directly within the Photos app extension, the manual colorization feature is only available in the PhotosRevive Mac app.
This limitation exists because macOS runs Photos extensions in a restricted environment with limited memory and functionality. Manual colorization is done offline and requires significantly more resources and direct file access, which is not possible within the Photos extension.
Best regards,
