Hi Imme,
The edits are not preserved because of the way that the images are being imported. Apple Photos does not read in RAW Power adjustments.
There are other ways to do this that will preserve your edits.
If you are using macOS Catalina, you can edit images in the Photos library using the RAW Power app (instead of the extension).
To do that:
1) Import your images from the SD card straight into Photos
2) Using the RAW Power app, pick Files > New Photo Library Window
3) Edit the images – the changes will be saved into the photo library and sync over iCloud.If you are using Mojave, then you have to use the RAW Power Photos extension. In that case, I would do this:
1) Import from SD Card to your local disk (no need to use iCloud here)
2) Select images with RAW Power using ratings or flags, or whatever
3) Import the selected images into Photos
4) Edit with RAW Power Photos extension.Does that help?

RAW Processing should always appear on any RAW image. If it doesn’t, then it’s a bug. Can you email me at support@gentlemencoders.com so we can work through this problem?
Not yet – I plan to add the ability to import and export between the file browser and Photo library with all adjustments etc. Definitely on the list.
Hi Erik,
iPhone RAWs are inherently noisier than iPhone JPEGs. That’s because they don’t benefit from multiple image fusion and the various computational photography algorithms that Apple can apply when making a JPEG.
As far as removing the setting, it’s possible, but that would leave a hole in the interface. There isn’t a second camera app that RAW Power integrates with.
Right now, the answer is “no” (well, the answer is “yes, but not easily”). However, I have two features I’d like to add. One is iCloud Drive functionality for the file browser & Files app.. The other is some kind of export / import of adjustments and rating data. Both would serve that purpose.
Hi Tim,
I can see that the way presets work may be confusing, especially if they work differently in each app. This is how they work in RAW Power:
1) the order doesn’t matter
2) it doesn’t matter if you apply them multiple times.That’s because presets are not much more than an automated way of setting up adjustments. The order that adjustments are applied is fixed (unlike Photoshop with its layers), so whether you apply A+B or B+A, you get the same result (there are some edge cases around automatic adjustments, but in general the order you apply presets is irrelevant).
All that really matters is the Add vs. Replace. Add will combine the preset with the existing adjustments, while Replace removes the existing adjustments in favor of the preset.
A history would provide insight into what operations were performed, that’s true. It’s something I have considered. History usually ends up containing an overwhelming amount of data, so it’s never been something I have found very useful in general (though it is useful on occasion).
However, history would not eliminate add vs. replace because those are different ways of applying presets.
RAW processing is available for any unadjusted RAW image. However, if the image was adjusted by Photos or Photos extension, then you will be editing the JPEG that was provided by that other editor. If it was edited with RAW Power, then you also will have access to RAW Processing. One way to tell the situation is to see if the app offers “Revert to Original” when you first open it. If so, then the image was previously edited (by some app, including RAW Power).
Catas: I know that the LUTs had that behavior before, where it would close the folder if you tapped on it again, but I think I fixed it in 3.0.3. Are you still seeing that issue with 3.0.3?
Yes, I have some ideas for adding that data to the edit interface. However, I dislike covering the picture with anything; I’ll probably put it above or atop the histogram.
Testing completed faster than I expected, so the 3.0.3 trial is now available on the downloads page
