Support for the Fovelio viewer and the Fovelio Studio editor.
Fovelio is designed to make folder-based viewing feel immediate. Start with the checks below if something interrupts that flow.
Opening a folder
Choose the folder that contains the media you want to browse. Fovelio asks macOS for access only to folders you explicitly select and remembers the most recently authorized location.
Browsing a ZIP archive
Open a supported standard ZIP archive from the folder tree to browse its images without extracting them. ZIP browsing is read-only. Encrypted and ZIP64 archives are not supported.
360° and Immersive View
For a compatible equirectangular image, select the 360° control, then drag the scene and scroll or pinch to change the field of view. For an ordinary image, select Immersive View and drag to explore its spatial presentation.
Playing a slideshow
Select the slideshow control to set timing, transitions, presentation mode, and optional local background music. Music accompanies live playback and is not embedded in exported video. Press Escape to leave full-screen playback.
RAW and HDR availability
Camera RAW support depends on the RAW formats supported by your version of macOS. HDR presentation also depends on the image, macOS display path, and the capabilities of the connected display. Fovelio uses a color-correct fallback when an HDR path is unavailable.
Background removal and clarity
These tools process eligible static SDR images locally and export new files without changing the originals. Background removal exports transparent PNG files when Apple Vision can identify a foreground subject. Clarity optimization uses traditional local image processing and does not invent missing detail.
Folder access changed
If a folder was renamed, moved to another volume, or disconnected, reconnect the volume and choose the folder again when macOS requests access.
Availability
Fovelio is available on the Mac App Store.
Fovelio Studio support
Studio is our separate offline image editor, currently in preparation for its first release. For questions about the preview or release, email nzlife.nz@gmail.com.
Opening and editing
Open a common image or PSD/PSB, or create a blank canvas. Work locally with layers, masks, selections, editable text, and basic image adjustments. RAW support depends on macOS decoders and imports raster pixels; Studio does not provide parameterized RAW development.
PSD compatibility and safe saving
Keep your original PSD unchanged. Read the PSD open result and affected-content details: some groups, smart objects, effects, blending, or other structures may be approximated, rasterized, or omitted. Not every PSD/PSB can make a lossless round trip. Save a Fovelio Studio project to preserve supported editing state; PSD export creates a separate copy after compatibility checks, and unsupported write-back may be blocked.
Reporting an issue
Include the Studio version, macOS version, file format, dimensions, layer count, exact error message, and the steps that led to it. For PSD issues, include the compatibility report only after checking it for confidential document or layer names. Share an original file only when needed and safe; a small synthetic example is preferable.
Optional services
The More page can fetch the developer catalog and icons. Cloud tools open in your browser only after confirmation; media you submit there is handled by that website. Studio does not automatically upload your editing files. Read the Studio privacy information.
