App summary
RAW Power is a premium RAW photo editor for macOS that taps into the Mac RAW Engine to give photographers fine control over their images. It can be used as a standalone application or directly inside the macOS Photos viewer, and it supports GPU-accelerated, real-time adjustments for a responsive editing experience.
Notable capabilities

- Crop and resize options to refine composition and output dimensions
- White balance controls for correcting temperature and tint automatically or manually
How it works with your workflow
You can operate RAW Power either as an independent program or as an extension within the native Photos app on macOS. Edits are non-destructive, so your original files remain unchanged and you can revert or tweak adjustments at any time.
Performance and user experience
GPU acceleration helps maintain smooth, real-time previews while you make edits. The interface is straightforward, though some users may wish for a customizable color theme for the UI.
Compatibility and trial
RAW Power requires macOS 10.12.2 or later. A free trial is offered so you can evaluate the app before purchasing.
