The advancement in digital photography has effectively changed and fastened the process of shooting and editing raw photos. You will have noticed that now many photographers are looking for software that is capable of editing raw files without altering or compromising their unique quality.

A raw editor is an advanced piece of software that reduces to the lowest minimal complexity and rendering processes. With everything made easier, you can now work on RAW files using the necessary software.

There are so many considerations that need to be checked before choosing the best software for editing RAW and some of them are the:

  • User’s experience level
  • Rendering
  • Batch processing
  • Processing
  • Assest management
  • Usability
  • Interface friendly

Below are the six RAW editing software

  • Best Free RAW Photo Editing Program Overall: GIMP

The GIMP meaning GNU Image Manipulation Software is created with Layers, masks, curves, brushes, clone stamps, perspective changes, etc. The software provides you access to community of fellow editors that are creating tutorials for easy learning, developing plugins, and also boosting the functionality of the software.

  • Best Free Lightroom Alternative for RAW Photo Editing: darktable

Darktable has same functionality as that of lightroom however, with the addition of new functionality makes it appealing to work with. Unlike the Therapee loading of images is faster, navigating the features is fun, etc.

  • Best Free Browser-Based RAW Photo Editing Program: Photopea
