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.

Astonishing value and capability

I'm blown away by Raw Power, to the extent that I now use it as a matter if course, when a couple of weeks ago I was completely addicted to Lightroom.
It didn't help the Adobe messed me around with synchronising to the point where I could no longer edit any of my photos(!), but it at least gave me a chance to try Raw Power.
Easy to get used to, powerful, and quite intuitive, the only thing I really miss is masks, though I can even live without those!
Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant, a bargain with just one (resolvable) issue

First off as a former Aperture/Lightroom user this is a superb well integrated app allowing me to stay in the wonderful world of Apple Photos! I now have many of the missing elements from Aperture and the ability to lens correct and finely edit my Sony ARW files. However, after installation on my Intel mac the app would constantly crash. After much diigging around the issue was resolved by changing GPU compatibility in preferences. As a pop-up help screen appears when the app is first opened it would have been helpful to have had this issue explained for us non-silicon users.

Superb for Fuji and I haven't tried it for others yet

I bought this a few months ago without using it much, and pay the monthly tariff for Photoshop/Lightroom as well. I have tended to use the Adobe products more, but came back to Raw Power and processed a Fuji RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw and trials of Iridient Developer and Capture One as well. To my surprise, Raw Power produced the best results. I've just worked on another Fuji file and again compared it to ACR and there is no comparison. RAW power does a much, much better job, and I don't have to pay a monthly fee. Exceptional value.
