RapidRAW 1.3.4

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 1.3.4 changelog:

Seamless Panorama Stitcher

• Unlike most Rust-based image stitchers that depend on OpenCV—a powerful yet often problematic library for cross-platform compilation—this project takes a different approach. It forgoes OpenCV entirely in favor of a custom-built stitching and warping algorithm designed to produce seamless panoramas without the need for blending. The result is a tool that preserves perspective effectively and delivers image quality comparable to other leading solutions, all while maintaining strong performance.

Grow / Shrink & Feather AI Masks

• You can now grow, shrink, and feather AI generated masks (such as subject or foreground) to refine their effect even further.

Improvements

• This release includes a bunch of bug fixes and animation improvements.
• Worth noting: the HSL panel now lets you not only shift a color to another, but also cascade it through multiple colors along the way.
