Photomator would be a more level Lightroom alternative, odd it's not included in the new Creator Studio package.
That's probably a clue that maintaining Photomator is not on Apple's long-term roadmap. I imagine they'll merge some features into Photos and eventually discontinue it.
The only apps from Apple I give a sizeable fraction of a dam about are Pages and Numbers, and hopefully they’ll emerge from the scourge of AI largely unscathed.
It's in the announcement and look at what Microslop and Google have done to their versions.
It's $12.99/mo or $129/yr for a subscription that includes Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, MainStage, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers Educational discount with verification required drops the price to $2.99/mo / $29.99/yr. The regular-price subscription includes family sharing, education price does not. One-time purchase versions remain available: Final Cut Pro ($299.99), Logic Pro ($199.99)…
>Comes out January 28th I wonder why? Why not today but 28th of Jan? Part of me thinks M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro MacBook Pro will also be released on January 28th.
I could see a press release refresh on that day to M5 chips.

Oh interesting re: Linux. My understanding was it was rougher but maybe I should try myself!
Runs like a dream for me, albeit on workstation-hardware so YMMV. It runs better under X than Wayland, at least the version I'm still stuck on, but otherwise the performance is top notch and easily worth a try :)
Photos isn't even close to the genuine Lightroom competitor that Aperture was
So can i use this to purge the liquid metal from MacOS 26 ?
After Apple suddenly discontinued Aperture, which left users like me with huge complex photo archives hanging, I will never trust any professional software tool from Apple again. It is a disaster that I still haven't fully recovered from. I've learned my lesson — all my archives will now be maintained by me, in file structures, with metadata in text files.
I also bought Final Cut Express. Not sure I'll buy Apple software again either.

If they're essentially shutting down Photomator development, after doing similar with Aperture many years ago, they do seem very determined to drive people to Lightroom....
Looks like some new "premium content" features will be only available to those with a subscription

Please don’t take this as me saying you were wrong to ever trust Apple, however the best way to organise any data is usually just files on a disk. That’s becoming a recurring theme for me and even some of my corporate clients now. Confluence, for example, is out the window for secure documentation around sensitive environments and Word Docs in One Drive are back in. It’s surprisingly refreshing and gets the job done…
Power tip: replace the Word docs with Markdown.
