RAW Power for MacFeatures the best Finder, Photos, and iCloud integration of any non-Apple photo app, plus advanced RAW editing, grading, and more.
RAW Power is three tools in one:
A fast, non-destructive image editor application. No importing required – RAW Power can quickly browse any folder on disk.
Apple Photo Library app. It's also compatible with iCloud Photos, so any changes you make to your photo library are synced to your other Macs and iOS devices.
Photo editing extension.
Whichever way you use it, you get the same impressive editing features. In either app mode, you can also rate, tag, and filter.
RAW Power is great for JPEGs, and Apple's photos don't have powerful adjustments (such as LUTs, depth effects, and chromatic aberration)
If you love Aperture's advanced RAW processing, you'll feel right at home with RAW Power. Adjustments like Boost, previously available only in Aperture, help you improve your images in ways not possible in any other application.
Overview
ADVANCED RAW: Unlock the power of Apple's RAW engine (previously only available in Aperture). Unique adjustments improve photos in ways not possible with any other application.
ORGANIZE: RAW Power organizes and manages your photo library (Catalina required). Fully compatible with iCloud Photo Library, so changes to your library are synced.
FINDER SUPPORT: RAW Power is a fast, standalone image editor with the same great non-destructive RAW processing capabilities.
RATE & FILTER: Filter by file type, rating, flags, and editing status. Ratings and flags sync via iCloud Photos!
Edit cross-platform: Start on one device and continue on another with RAW Power 3 for iOS (purchased separately). RAW Power is also a photo editing extension with all the same adjustments.
Batch Processing: Apply presets, paste adjustments, and export images. Apply Auto Enhance or Auto White Balance to multiple images at once.
