What unraw is
unraw is a macOS app for reviewing RAW photo shoots and choosing selects. Open a folder or card and begin culling without importing photos or creating a catalog; the site says 10,000+ photos are ready in seconds. You can navigate images and apply ratings, labels, and flags, including with keyboard shortcuts. Supported RAW formats include Canon CR3 and CR2, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, Leica DNG, and others; listed image formats also include JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, and PSD/PSB. Ratings, labels, flags, and metadata travel with selected images into editing tools, with Lightroom given as an example. Photos and related file information are processed on your computer rather than uploaded to unraw’s servers. The app requires macOS 13 or later. Its full seven-day trial begins after email verification in the app and needs no payment card. Monthly costs €12 a month; Yearly costs €99 a year.
