RapidRAW 1.5.4

RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU.

Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste.

A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows.

RapidRAW v1.5.4 release notes:

• This update delivers faster rendering performance, a redesigned preset system, and the project’s first steps toward Android support.
• A new direct WGPU renderer now bypasses traditional webview overhead, resulting in a noticeably more responsive experience.
• The presets system has been completely reworked, enabling the creation of “Tool” presets that stack on top of existing edits, with full support for saving masks and crops.
• The update also introduces a mask-intersect mode, new flow masks, and several long-requested workflow improvements, including batch denoising and preservation of EXIF data for stitched and denoised files.. [full changelog]
