What RAW Power is
RAW Power is a photo editor that provides controls for Apple’s RAW decoder across macOS, iOS, and Android listings. It offers RAW adjustments, lens correction, split toning, HSL, curves, presets, LUTs, and batch editing. Support includes compressed Fujifilm files and newer GoPro, Sony, Canon, and Nikon cameras. You can rate and flag images, filter by rating or file type, and synchronize ratings and flags through iCloud Photos. The app browses files in Finder or works with the Photos library, with a Photos editing extension. The Mac trial has no time limit, but exports are size-limited, custom watermarks are disabled, and exported images carry the RAW Power logo. The trial requires macOS 10.14 or later; some formats require newer macOS releases. Smart Albums, brushes, gradients, XMP sidecars, AI and depth masks, and cloning are listed as unavailable.
