RapidRAW
RapidRAW is a free, open-source RAW photo editor for photographers who want to organize, develop, and export images on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android. Its library supports browsing, culling, ratings, flags, tags, albums, and batch operations. A non-destructive editing workflow stores adjustments separately from original files and offers exposure, color, tone-curve, detail, effects, crop, lens-correction, and masking controls. GPU-accelerated processing supports RAW development, while built-in AI tools provide denoising, subject and scene masks, depth maps, and automatic tagging. Users can also connect a self-hosted ComfyUI server for generative editing or link an Immich server to browse a photo library, synchronize edits, and export images. Additional tools include presets, panorama and HDR merging, focus stacking, tethered capture on supported systems, and batch export to common image formats.
