Edit RAW and ProRAW on iPhone, with real controls
Last updated 2 June 2026
RAW and Apple ProRAW hold far more tonal information than a finished JPEG, which is exactly what you want when you push an edit. EditMe is a film-negative inverter and film-look editor that also decodes RAW and ProRAW source files. With inversion turned off it edits them as positives with real controls, HSL, and color grading, on the device, instead of flattening everything into a one-tap filter.
What RAW gives you to work with
A RAW or ProRAW file keeps the sensor's full range, so highlights and shadows survive heavy adjustment that would band or clip a JPEG. EditMe decodes it in a high-precision working space, which is what lets curves and grading move tones smoothly rather than tearing them.
Real tools, not filters
EditMe gives you exposure, contrast, shadows and highlights, HSL by color band, color grading with lift, gamma, and gain, plus grain and toning in the free core. The full tone curve, per-channel RGB curves, and 16-bit export are part of EditMe Pro. Everything runs on the device, and your photos never leave the iPhone.
