Apple ProRAW Format Support Arrives With Pixelmator Photo 15 Update

The popular photo editing app, Pixelmator Photo, recently announced its 1.5 update which adds support for Apple ProRAW and as a result, will make fine adjustments using Apple’s new photo format quick and easy when using an iPad . When the ProRAW format becomes available in a rapidly approaching iOS 14.3 update, iPhone 12 Pro owners will be able to take advantage of advanced computational photography while retaining the high degree of control possible with RAW photos.

Pixelmator has a long history of making great apps for Apple devices, starting with its first version for the Mac computer in 2007. Pixelmator allows the use of both pixel and vector-based tools and sports many of the same abilities as the much more expensive Photoshop at a fraction of the cost. With regular updates, the list of features continues to grow and become more refined. The recent Pixelmator Pro 2.0 release is optimized for M1 Mac computers and boasts big speed improvements for machine language tools, such as super-resolution which is fifteen times faster. Of course, Pixelmator also makes iPhone and iPad apps.

Pixelmator Photo 1.5 is an iPad-only app that adds support for Apple’s ProRAW format. This is a variation of RAW images that allows the use of Apple’s computational photography and multi-frame image processing, while still providing low-level creative control of dynamic range, color and detail settings that are not available when editing the more common JPEG or HEIC format images. The difference is that RAW and ProRAW files don’t use compression that loses details and, in fact, keep data that is discarded when saving in formats that have a focus on saving space. Pixelmator Photo 1.5 allows editing ProRAW on the large iPad screen where the fine details are easier to see.

ProRAW & Pixelmator Photo Combined

Pixelmator Photo is already a powerful iPad photo editor, enabling the user to tweak color balance, sharpness and exposure as any good image tool will. It adds many machine language (ML) enhanced features that give a quick start and, in some cases, a quick finish to photo refinement. Its non-destructive editing tools take the stress out of corrections and even retouching. The repair tool eliminates stray hairs, dust and blemishes with a quick stroke and even foreground obstructions can be removed and the background filled in using ML power. ML super-resolution scales up images, seemingly creating detail that was missing from the lower detail original photo.

With Apple ProRAW editing capability, Pixelmator Photo becomes even more powerful. Of course, there are other apps that support ProRaw, including Adobe Lightroom on a Mac and Halide Mark II on an iPhone. Pixelmator Photo offers ProRAW support on an iPad, where the large screen combined with easy portability can make a big difference for photographers. Since the iPhone can AirDrop photos to an iPad quickly and easily, this can provide a convenient and powerful workflow.
