RapidRAW

RapidRAW is a non-destructive RAW photo editor and digital asset manager designed for decoding manufacturer RAW formats and applying tonal and color adjustments. It functions as a professional image processor that ensures original source data remains unmodified by saving all edits, masks, and crops to sidecar files.

The software features a specialized color grading suite using 3D LUTs, color wheels, and HSL mixers, alongside AI-powered utilities for subject isolation, automatic masking, and generative inpainting for object removal. It distinguishes itself with AI-assisted photo retouching and a non-destructive asset management system that organizes libraries via metadata tags and star ratings without requiring database imports.

Broad capabilities include high dynamic range merging, panorama stitching, and comprehensive batch processing for adjustments and exports. The system provides a wide range of image manipulation tools covering geometric corrections, film emulation, lens profile calibration, and multi-format export pipelines.

Performance is supported by GPU acceleration for real-time rendering of image adjustments.
