RAW Power
What RAW Power is
RAW Power is a photo editor that provides controls for Apple’s RAW decoder. It includes RAW adjustments, lens correction, split toning, HSL, curves, presets, and LUTs, with batch editing. It supports compressed Fujifilm and GoPro files, as well as newer Sony, Canon, and Nikon cameras. For organizing images, users can rate and flag them, filter by criteria such as rating and file type, and sync ratings and flags through iCloud Photos. The app can browse files in Finder or work with the Photos library, and includes a Photos editing extension. The Mac trial has no time limit, but exports are size-limited, custom watermarks are disabled, and exported images have the RAW Power logo. The trial requires macOS 10.14 or later; some extended RAW formats require Big Sur or later, and certain Nikon formats require Ventura or later. The macOS version costs $49.99, paid once as a lifetime purchase; the iOS version is a separate purchase at $9.99 a month as a lifetime purchase. The maker’s comparison lists Smart Albums, brushes, gradients, XMP sidecars, AI and depth masks, and cloning as unavailable.
