Yes, RAW Power fully understands the ProRAW format. That’s because it uses Apple’s RAW engine for these files. You have access to Apple’s Tone Map control which is the thing that is usually missing from other apps.
The forum doesn’t have the ability to host screenshots. Probably the best thing is just to continue this over email (support@gentlemencoders.com) and we can figure it out.
I do not know if it’s compatible with Nikon Studio, but the app exports standard file formats. What type of file did you export to Nikon Studio?
I’m glad you are seeing what I’m seeing. As I mentioned, policy about how to handle embedded JPEGs changes from time to time – there isn’t a single “right” answer. Yes, I can guess which piece of software was broken 🙂
Hi Heather,
If you set up your camera to shoot black and white, you will get a black and white JPEG, but a color RAW. RAWs are always in color (not counting monochrome cameras like some Leicas). What you are seeing in Aperture, Photos, and RAW Power is the embedded JPEG, which is also rendered in black and white. Aperture will replace that embedded JPEG with a color one (depending on how you have set up the preferences). Photos will also replace the embedded with its own rendering, though it may not do it right away (What to do about embedded JPEGs is a constantly evolving / changing thing.).
I just imported a Sony RAW that was set up that way and Photos first showed it as black and white and then replaced it with the color version. I’m not sure what you are seeing, but that behavior is what I would expect.
RAW Power does have a setting to control some of that behavior, but it doesn’t apply if you are using Photos because Photos is already replacing the embedded JPEG.

–NikI was unable to find any K-50 DNGs that are shot in portrait orientation to test this. If you want to send me some, you can upload them here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/URZ12srbCokrdYn4I0gE
I tried importing some A6400 RAWs into Photos on iOS. Then I went to RAW Power.
What I see is the megapixels reported as 24, but sometimes not all the metadata is appearing.
These (portrait) images loaded without any rotation issues, both outside of Edit and inside Edit.
Perhaps your images are set in a way that is causing the app to be confused.Here are two links to files on PhotographyBlog:

Thanks.–Nik
You don’t need to delete the app. Sometimes the App Store gets stuck and the only solution is to restart your computer.
It’s not a problem with the app. It’s a problem with the App Store. Your best bet is just to restart your computer, but you can certainly wait to see if it’s a temporary App Store outage.
RAW Power does restore the data but only for drives that maintain stable “inode” values (this is a file identifier that each file on a disk gets). It is supposed to remain unchanged as long as the file is present on the drive (it will change if the file goes to another drive). It’s not a unique identifier or fingerprint. It’s just a simple number. However, some drives do not keep the inode stable (perhaps they use a different file system – not sure) and that breaks the link between the original file and the RAW Power editing data.
