Color for video and photography, together on iPhone and iPad. BlackRAW Studio brings RAW development, color grading and delivery to your original footage and photos. MOTIONCAM RAW VIDEO Open supported MotionCam .mcraw Bayer recordings, adjust exposure and white balance, play embedded audio, trim shots and export graded video. Work alongside Blackmagic RAW, Apple ProRes RAW and other supported video formats. RAW AND EVERYDAY PHOTOS Edit supported camera RAW and Apple ProRAW/DNG, plus JPEG, HEIF, PNG and TIFF. Use the RAW controls available for each image, crop, straighten, rotate, compare with the original and undo edits. Inspect native detail when the source and available memory allow it. ONE COLOR WORKSPACE Shape your image with primary adjustments, color wheels, curves, HSL, ColorSlice and imported LUTs. Apply a look per item or across a Studio session. Export compatible static color adjustments as a .cube LUT; RAW development and geometry are not included in a LUT. ORIGINALS STAY YOURS Open Files, iCloud Drive and USB-C storage in place. Photos may provide a temporary original for the session. Edits do not change the source. Save Studio projects that reference your media and relink missing files. CHOOSE YOUR DELIVERY Export photos as JPEG 8-bit, HEIF 10-bit SDR or TIFF 16-bit, with size options, progress and cancellation. Deliver photos separately from video. Export trimmed, graded clips or a continuous movie using the formats available for your device, including H.264, HEVC and ProRes 422. Original RAW trimming without re-encoding is available only for BRAW. COMPATIBILITY AND PRO Exporting your own media and advanced features requires Pro. Support depends on the camera, recording mode, file, operating system and device memory. Not every RAW variant is supported; very large photos may have preview, detail or export limits. MCRAW remosaic recordings are not supported. The Studio deliveries described here are SDR. BlackRAW Studio is independent and is not affiliated with the companies behind the supported formats. Try all Pro features for 7 days with your own clips, including RAW, color, LUTs, projects and export. Available with monthly or annual subscriptions for eligible Apple Accounts after confirming in the App Store. Renews at the displayed price unless canceled. Included sample clips also let you try color and export without subscribing. Terms of Use: https://blackrawvisor.com/terms Import compatible camera Log → Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 LUTs explicitly from the conversion section, keeping technical conversion separate from creative grading.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LogGrade at none against BlackRAW Studio's 3. LogGrade also leads on ads (none vs shown). BlackRAW Studio's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
