iRAW is a camera app that supports manual and automatic modes and uses the RAW photo capability of your newer-model iPhone.  All photos are stored in DNG (digital negative) RAW format, which if correctly processed can result in very nice photographs. RAW photos require about 15 MB per photo, as they are stored in DNG format. iRAW lets you use Airdrop to copy photos to your Mac and you can email photos as email attachments. In manual mode, iRAW provides sliders to control shutter speed and ISO. There is an optional 2-second delay before taking a photo. There is a live histogram to help you take better photos and optional grid lines.

Get more likes for your outdoor shots! A special filter gives your photos deeper colors and more definition, simply and immediately. City skies become a deep, radiant blue, and ordinary grass and and trees are transformed into verdant idylls. Your social media friends will wish they were out with you. Why does this app exist? I started retouching all my landscape photos with photo editors, but got tired of going through the same laborious process every time. So now I have an app that does those steps automatically, and I decided to share it with you, too! Note that the app is tuned to produce great outdoor photos only - it's not recommended for indoor use. • Real-time viewfinder means instantly seeing the final result, without breaking your flow. No extra steps, retakes, or messing about in editors. • Only one click will save the photo to your camera roll - it works exactly like the in-built camera app! • Saves image at full camera resolution and quality. • Simple slider to increase the effect. • No glitter and unicorn stickers: just a stylish, minimal app that takes great photos, quickly. • Unlock an extra contrast slider for extra control. Supported by ads, so I can keep making free apps, but you can also buy extra image tuning functionality, which will remove the ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iRAW at none against Outdoor Camera's 1. Outdoor Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
