About Rawmakase

RAWmakase is a fast, non-destructive RAW photo developer for Linux, macOS and Windows, written in Rust. It develops RAW, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, AVIF and JPEG XL files with a Lightroom-style set of controls and exports JPEG, 16-bit TIFF or PNG (exporting to WebP, AVIF and JPEG XL is not available yet). It can also import a Lightroom Classic catalog with its ratings, flags, labels, keywords and compatible develop settings, without ever writing to the original catalog or your photos.
