RAW Power® has the best Finder, Photos and iCloud integration of any non-Apple photo app, plus advanced RAW editing, ratings and more.

RAW Power is three tools in one:

1) A fast, non-destructive image editor app. No need to import - RAW Power can quickly browse any folder on your disk.
2) An Apple Photos library app. It is also compatible with iCloud Photos, so any Photos library changes you make sync to your other Macs and iOS devices.
3) A Photos editing extension.

Any way you use it, you get the same impressive editing features. With either app mode, you can rate, flag, and filter too.

RAW Power is great with JPEGs, with powerful adjustments absent from Apple's Photos (such as LUTs, Depth Effect and Chromatic Aberration)

If you loved Aperture's advanced RAW processing, you'll feel at home with RAW Power. Adjustments like Boost, previously only available in Aperture, help you improve your images in ways that simply can't be done in any other application.

Photo Asset Management System with Lightroom Workflows

Amazing application that costs about 2-3 months of a Lightroom Subscription. If you're looking for an alternative to Lightroom, than this application is it.

Photo library organisation? Check. Integrated with Apple Photos
Lightroom 'Develop' workflow? Check
Custom Photo profiles? Check (Uses Lutify)
Able to export easily? Check
Able to rate / flag photos? Check (Creates a smart folder / album in Apple Photos
Able to bulk-apply Edits? Check

This application is one of the better applications I've used from the App Store and is fast and works on the M1 MBP Max with no problems (Affinity Photo lags when trying to edit from Photos > Affinity?), this RAW Power app does with ease.

I'm a casual photographer (Previously did it as a profession) and blown away with the feature set in general. I just hope that there are minor UI tweaks to get the application a little more 'clear' (E.g., the scroll bar should have a slight tweak on the alpha transparency to indicate you can click and drag), the notifications to apply an edit when using 'Photos App' is annoying at times but it meets my needs as a RAW Photo Library organisation tool.

Outstanding

The image quality Raw Power produces is surprisingly good. I say surprising because it is so inexpensive you dont expect it to compete with the top end apps like Lightroom and Capture One. Image quality wise I think its better.

It isnt as fully featured as the big boys but it has the benefit of being tightly integrated with the Mac OS and is lightening fast. Rethink your workflow using the Mac's finder capability and you might not go back.

A true made for mac application, well done !!!

Really coming of age

Great work on the new look with the file browser. That is sooo fast. I was a bit taken back the first couple of files I opened. :-)

Still hoping for ratings and other dam tools, but this does such a good job I’m swinging all my raw work over. The tweaking of the files is very impressive.

keep up the good work, each step is worthwhile.

Edit 25 Jan 2019.
I’ve just updated to 2.1 Now with a decent file browser and such great fine tuning controls. More importantly to me as I am not using Photos app, is a simple efficient plugin for Lightroom. It offers such a great feel for getting the right harmony or feel for my images.
If they add keywording and comments I’d be out of Lr so fast.
Keep up the good work.
