Digital Camera Raw Editor, Converter And Corrector

Most digital cameras can save photos in different image formats including jpg and the raw format. Raw image files that are created have the name because they are not yet processed. This processing is usually done in a raw converter. It should also be noted that there is not a single raw format but dozens if not hundreds of raw image formats.

Able Raw is a software program for editing, converting and correcting raw images in the Windows operating system. The program can read many different raw image formats including rw, cr2, nef, raw, pef, raf, x3f, bay, orf, srf, mrw, dcr, dng and arw. It is therefor compatible with many digital camera models from Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Fuji, Kodak, Olympus, Casio and others.

The software program offers the following core functionality:

• Image processing (Color Adjust, Effects, Crop);
• Auto Adjust Colors;
• Blue and Red scales;
• Brightness value;
• Interpolating RGBG as four colors;
• Gamma;
• High-quality or low-quality color interpolation;
• Automatic white balance;
• Camera white balance;

Raw images that are opened in the application are displayed as a preview on the right side. Controls to edit and correct the raw photo are provided in the footer area of the program as well as from the Image menu at the top.

One interesting aspect is that Able Raw displays the original image and the resulting image to fine tune the results before accepting them.

The file menu can be used to save the modified raw image in a different file format including the most popular ones like jpg, png and tif.

Able Raw is available for free for most Windows operating systems. It can be downloaded at the developer’s website Graphic Region.
