Leave a Review RAW Power
No Direct Editing in iCloud Files Locations (other than with Apple Photos), No Healing Tools
I was about to dump LR in favor of using a completely mobile, iOS process with RawPower, and just discovered that all edits need to happen in your local Files storage on your device. Seems RawPower has to download the files locally to effect edits. Of course, if you use the Apple Photos app to manage your assets within RawPower, then RawPower edits can happen “in the cloud”. But that’s not what I’m looking for. Also, as many others have mentioned, the lack of healing tools is a huge letdown. I really like this app, but without those two features (direct cloud editing w/o Apple photos, and healing), its just not ready to be a serious replacement for LR. Its a shame.Show lessarg245
Love the app
I have been a Lightroom user for so many years, and recently I have been trying to move my workflow to use iPad without any luck until I found this wonderful app. I love how I can import my images to either photos or files app and flag, rate my pictures. I just have a couple suggestions to make, would be wonderful if we could have a folder system on the files part of the app, that way we can organize by events. As of right now the only bad thing about the app is a weird bug where the sorting option is not working, on the settings there’s an option to force sort by creation date but when I deselect that it still do the same. Would be very cool if we can sort by name.
Edit: woohoo we just got HSL color edit feature plus other good stuff on an update, I love how this app gets better and betterShow lessfrost-kaxt
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. I would like to add more features to the Files part of the app including folders. The sorting option has some limitations on the Files-side. It sorts by creation date rather than by EXIF date for performance reasons. The preference that you are referring to only applies to the Photos side.Raw files not supported
I have used this app for years and have been using it to edit photos from my Canon eos M6 II. Now I get the message that my raw files are not being supported. Why. I am extremely disappointed.L'Bug
No Support for Sony
This software works ok with my Nikon NEF (raw) files, but there is no support for Sony ARW (raw) files. I have the Sony Zv1 which is basically an Rx100viii, but features more for vlogging. I am a hybrid shooter and need support for Sony ARW as that camera is with me all the time. You can see the image when importing, but try to edit and it will say unsupported.
Sad I paid $10 for an app that does not support my main camera, only my backup camera. This app came highly recommended.Show lessrevsjh
Batch presets not working, can’t use
I want to like this app, but I bought it specifically to do batches on presets and it doesn’t work. The presets I apply via batch don’t “stick”. No update on the image or thumbnail, and the changes aren’t visible after the image is exported.
The support site won’t send me a confirmation email to get help, so I consider it a total loss until something changes.Show lessibrunner
Great app, just gets better
RAW Power is a highly capable, lightweight app that leverages macOS’s image pipeline and file management while giving you the power of Aperture or Lightroom.
It’s not a toy preset filter collection but a real image processing tool from the original lead developer of Aperture.Passepartout
Good editor but has a few issues
Love the editor and what it can do. I do notice when I am zoomed in and try to drag the adjustment bars it lags to where I have to zoom out to have any fluidity. I also noticed an issue today where when I finish editing a raw photo and try to copy the option, the screen darkens to where I can’t see much if anything but the bar at the top and IPad itself is at the brightness I set. Would love for the devs to look at thisShow lessskeptical tiger
Right from the beginning, this has been a superb product
I started using this when it was first introduced and have it both on Ios and Mac. The overall development of the app has been steady and highly functional and rivals some of the best processing apps and programs in the market at a more than fair price for what it helps anyone accomplish.
I find the sliders are highly precise and accurate unlike other apps and programs that either do virtually nothing or in too many cases too much. These controls are just right.
It is worth more than the five star rating I have given it.
What I would like to see is more presets that are more closely related to what the Lightroom app offers. It is not that important but they are nice to have. The app does have quite a few presets but they are more for base adjustments while Lightroom’s are more for altering a style.
However, this is my go to program for almost everything I do either on my Fuji X camera, Osmo Pocket, or Iphone.Show lessBlueridgeworkshops
Excellent
Love this app. Very good at some points. Room for improvements too. Problem I would like to mention for now is that a white line shows on the left of an exported to photos image from a developed RAW (Sony) to jpeg 1024px longest side. The original was also cropped. Can you please have a look at this?Show lessHorserious
Excellent app!
This app on iOS and on Mac does an excellent job of letting you process raw images captured on the iPhone! As the name implies, there is a lot of power and flexibility in the app. The developer consistently refined and upgrades the app and is very responsive to any support questions. Highly recommended!Show lessPilgrimITW
