About

RawMask Studio

Read full description

Edit only the part of the photo you choose. RawMask Studio is a RAW photo editor built around masks: pick a detected subject or draw your own mask, then change the light, color, detail and focus of just that area while the rest of the image stays untouched. It opens RAW and ProRAW files as well as everyday JPEG and HEIC photos, and every edit happens right on your iPhone. MASKS FOR SELECTIVE EDITS - Automatic masks: on-device detection finds subjects such as people, cars and animals and turns them into ready-to-edit masks - Manual masks: radial, linear (gradient), brush and rectangle - Refine any mask with the Add and Subtract brushes - Soften the edge with Feather for smooth, natural transitions - Give every mask its own light, color, detail and focus adjustments RAW, PRORAW, JPEG AND HEIC - Pick photos straight from your Photos library with the system picker - Edit RAW and ProRAW captures with the same tools as regular photos A CLEAR, STEP-BY-STEP WORKFLOW - Frame: crop, straighten, rotate, aspect ratios and zoom - Light: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks - Color: temperature, tint, vibrance and saturation - Detail: texture, clarity, dehaze, sharpness and noise reduction - Focus: background blur with strength, range, feather and bokeh - Effects: vignette, grain and fade - Reorder or hide steps in Editor options to match the way you work COMPARE AND REUSE - Hold to Compare to check before and after at any moment - Save whole-photo adjustments as a Preset and apply it to another photo SAVE WITHOUT LOSING THE ORIGINAL - Save edit to Photos is non-destructive: the original stays intact and you can revert the edit in Photos anytime - Save a copy to Photos to keep the edited version as a new photo - Export as JPEG, HEIF or TIFF through the share sheet PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no sign-in and no ads - Editing and subject detection run entirely on device, so your photos are never uploaded - Free, with no in-app purchases Open a photo, pick a mask and make one part of it shine.

Merge bracketed exposures into one natural-looking photo โ€” with detail in both the bright window and the dark corner. Pick 3, 5 or 7 photos of the same scene shot at different exposures (camera RAW, DNG, JPEG, HEIC or TIFF). Bracketfuse finds the brackets for you, lines the frames up and blends the best-exposed parts of each one into a single image. Everything happens on your device. โ€ข AUTO-GROUPING โ€” select a whole shoot at once. Brackets are grouped from each photo's exposure data and capture time, and back-to-back sets are split where the exposures repeat. Tick or untick frames to fix a set. โ€ข HAND-HELD ALIGNMENT โ€” frames are registered to the middle exposure before merging, so hand-held brackets stay sharp. โ€ข EXPOSURE FUSION โ€” a multi-scale blend that takes contrast, colour and good exposure from every frame. Natural by default, with no halo-heavy "HDR look". โ€ข REDUCE GHOSTING โ€” people, leaves or water that moved between shots come from one frame instead of appearing see-through. โ€ข LOOK โ€” Natural โ†” Vivid strength, Highlights and Shadows sliders, and white balance matched to the middle exposure. โ€ข CAMERA RAW โ€” raw files are developed with identical neutral settings, so only the exposure differs between frames. โ€ข SEE IT FIRST โ€” the full merged preview with every option, plus a compare view against the middle exposure. โ€ข EXPORT โ€” HEIC, JPEG or 16-bit TIFF at full resolution, keeping the reference frame's EXIF (camera, lens, date, location). Bracketfuse merges brackets you have already shot, with your camera's auto-exposure bracketing (AEB) or a bracketing camera app โ€” it doesn't take photos. On devices with less memory, very large files are saved at the largest size the device can handle, and the result screen tells you when that happens. Merging and the full preview are included; a one-time purchase unlocks exporting the full-resolution photo. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
