After twenty years with a market-leading tool, I had opinions about how a RAW editor should work
After twenty years with a market-leading tool, I had opinions about how a RAW editor should work. So I built one. No catalog, no import step, no subscription. Open a file, develop it, export it. Your edits live in XMP sidecars that travel with the file. DEVELOP, DON'T JUST FILTER Every slider maps to a real photographic operation — the kind you'd recognize from a darkroom or a color grading suite. No mystery algorithms, no black-box processing. You stay in control. COMPLETE CONTROL - Light: Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks - Color: Temperature, Tint, Vibrance, Saturation - Tone Equalizer: 5-zone luminance-targeted exposure with live zone preview - Curves: Parametric (4-zone) + per-channel RGB + freeform Point Curves - HSL Color Mixer: 8-channel Hue, Saturation, Luminance control - Color Grading: 3-way split toning for shadows, midtones, highlights - Presence: Texture, Clarity, Dehaze - Detail: Sharpening with edge-aware masking, Luminance and Color noise reduction - Lens: Distortion correction, chromatic aberration, vignette, moiré LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS WITH APPLE VISION MASKS Paint adjustments exactly where you need them. Linear gradient, radial gradient, and adjustment brush — plus Apple Vision-powered Person and Subject masks. Luminosity and Color range masks for precision tonal and color selections. Each mask gets its own exposure, contrast, color, clarity, dehaze, and selective blur controls. Stack as many as you need. FINE ART FIGURE TOOLS Purpose-built for figure and portrait photography — each one a custom Metal shader designed for how skin and light interact: - Sculpt — frequency-separation contouring that reshapes form without smearing texture - Skin Luster — warm specular glow that responds to actual highlight positions - Skin Uniformity — evens color variation while preserving pore-level detail - Subject Spotlight — soft vignette that centers on the detected subject, not the frame CREATIVE EFFECTS - Film Grain with 21 stock-specific profiles (Portra 400, Tri-X, HP5+, and more) - Bloom with anamorphic streaks and color tint - Diffuse Glow for soft highlight diffusion - 27 built-in presets across Color Film, B&W, and Fine Art categories SMART AUTO TOOLS - Smart Develop: Analyzes your photo and suggests a balanced starting point - Auto White Balance: Intelligent color correction across diverse scenes - Auto B&W: Scene-aware conversion with film-inspired channel mixing - WB Picker: Click any neutral point with magnified preview and Kelvin readout NON-DESTRUCTIVE & PORTABLE All edits saved as XMP sidecar files — Adobe Camera Raw compatible. Your files are never modified. No catalog, no database, no lock-in. Works with the DigTek photo suite: Photo Culler writes picks and ratings, Photo Developer reads them. All apps preserve each other's metadata. Set a default copyright in Settings — it's embedded as IPTC metadata in every export automatically. RAW formats supported via Apple's camera engine. GPU-accelerated with real-time editing even on 60MP+ files. No subscription. No cloud. No account required.
