What it does

Raw development
Tone, a colour mixer and colour grading on raw files.
Camera profiles and lenses
Camera colour profiles, lens distortion and colour-fringe correction.
Burst picks
Flags closed eyes and picks the best frame in a burst.
Masks
Masks by brightness, colour or depth, combined by adding, subtracting or intersecting.
Object removal
Removes an object and fills the gap from the rest of the picture.
Relighting
Changes the light after capture, and matches light when compositing, with contact shadows.
HDR output
Exports gain-map HDR JPEG for HDR screens.
Export presets
JPEG, PNG, 16-bit TIFF, WebP, AVIF and HEIC, with colour space, sharpening and metadata.

What you receive

Finished files
JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, AVIF, HEIC or HDR files, sized and sharpened for where they are published.
Layered master
A layered 16-bit TIFF.
Settings
XMP sidecars that keep each development.

Questions

Do you change my original raw files?
No. A development is kept as settings beside the file, and every export is a new file.
Is anything in my photograph generated?
No. Object removal fills the gap from the rest of your picture; nothing is generated from outside it.
Can you work in my photographer's style?
Yes. Developments and masks follow the look you point us to, and the settings stay with the file.
