Apple’s Dramatic is the Blue Steel of photo filters, in my opinion, and I use it on nearly everything. Pixelmator Photo has a ton of great filters, but none of them do justice to Apple’s Dramatic. What’s the closest thing to it?

Hi Rick. It's difficult to say what adjustments have been used for that particular filter but you could try and recreate something similar in Pixelmator Photo. For starters, you can match the colors of the original and the edited image using ML Match Colors. This will give you a rough base for further edits. Once you have it, you can continue tweaking the adjustments until you get the look you're after. You can then save the adjustments as a custom preset for the future.
