PhotoRaw App Reviews

I broke down and bought this app, $9.99 and everything was fine. I just did the IOS8 upgrade and now my pictures wont load into it. Hope things are sorted soon....at which time a much higher rating will be coming. :(

Im using PhotoRaw on an iPad Air and while it downloads and runs fine, the quality of the Raw conversions and output are sub-standard. Im converting Canon CR2 files from older Canon cameras, so the conversion should be good to great. They arent. Using any of the Recovery sliders (Shadow and/or Highlight) results in posterization. The skies are really bad to the point of being unusable. The software lacks tools found in other iOS Raw Convertors, most notably noise reduction and sharpening. The price is less than most convertors, but it lack the ability to do a few basic functions and does others poorly. Your money is best spent on other convertors, such as PhotoGene, my go to iOS app for Raw conversions and editing on an iPad.

Really wasnt happy with this app and not happy that I paid for an app that doesnt do what I need it to do.

New features include exporting to TIFF which preserves 16-bit image color information. Then I edit result in a full featured editor like Adobe Touch. Imports TIFF renamed raw files from EyeFi Mobi Pro. This has turned out to be a very nice and useful app indeed! Also very good and responsive customer support! Goodbye PiR*****, hello PhotoRAW!

It will not open raw nef files from dropbox. I dont need it for files from photos.

Really needs a noise reduction feature at high ISOs. Also, a batch adjustment mode would be nice, where it applies the same adjustment to several RAW files. In its favor, it seems to be the only app out there that can process the RAW file from a RAW+JPEG pair imported through the camera connection kit.

This app is amazing!! Please add more functions!!!

added select all, which makes batch work really useful. hopefully the highlight/shadow problem is improved, or maybe an export dng option (more universal) so we can use another app to tweak the highlights/shadows?

This app is very nice. It has a lot of technical ability, extensive raw support. I just wish it could edit exif data.

This app works great on my iPad Pro, and is one of the very few to work directly with RAW files. Simple and easy to use, and the results look professional and beautiful. Im using it with Canon RAW files, and files from my fantastic new X-Pro2 from Fujifilm. This is one of the first apps to support the new Fujifilm camera for RAW files that Ive found. Two things I would love to see added: A white-balance touch tool (where you touch a neutral color to white balance the image (maybe the app already has one that I havent found); the ability to export the original RAW files (I have yet to find an easy way to get RAW files off of my iPad to conserve storage space once I am done with them). As it is, it is a great a very useful app, so five stars!
