The record

Product: RapidRAW is a non-destructive, GPU-accelerated RAW image editor.
Editing workflow: Edits are stored in sidecar files, leaving original images untouched.
GPU processing: The product page says image adjustments are processed on the GPU for real-time feedback.
Features: The editor includes an image library, presets, batch operations, tone curves, an HSL color mixer, detail enhancement, and effects.
AI tools: Built-in AI features include subject, sky, and foreground masking, automatic image tagging, and simple object removal.
ComfyUI integration: RapidRAW can connect to a user’s local ComfyUI server for self-hosted generative edits using their own hardware and models.
Cloud processing: RapidRAW Cloud sends only a crop around the masked area for processing; the full RAW file is not uploaded.
Privacy: The privacy policy says desktop editing and local AI features run on the user’s computer and that the company does not receive photos or usage statistics from the desktop app.
Cloud data handling: The privacy policy says Cloud crops are processed in memory, discarded after the result is returned, and not stored in the company’s database or logs.
Export formats: Batch export supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, JPEG XL, AVIF, and CUBE LUT.
Supported platforms: The installation guide lists Windows, macOS, Linux, and an experimental Android build distributed as an APK.
Notable limitation: AI masks currently run on the CPU and may take a few seconds on a modern CPU.
Support: The documentation directs users to GitHub Discussions, Discord, and GitHub bug reports for help.
Maker: The maker’s site identifies Timon Käch as developer and photographer in Lucerne, Switzerland.
