Emulsions

Emulsions.

Emulsions are the stocks that define how OhMyRAW interprets the RAW data from your camera’s sensor. Like choosing a film stock for the way it captures light, each gives your photographs its own colour and tonal character.

Choose from neutral colour, black & white and film-inspired stocks as the starting point for your edits.

OMR Cine 800T

Cold mids, blue shadows, stronger reds. Tungsten cinema.

Select a stock. Drag across the image to compare with OMR Color.

Actual OhMyRAW renders. Same RAW file, same adjustments; only the emulsion changes.

Save your own presets and sync them with your library between Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Develop

Control over the whole photograph.

Light, colour, detail and finishing, on Mac, iPad and iPhone alike. Mac-only features are marked.

Light

Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks, plus tone curves for the individual colour channels.

Colour

White balance with an eyedropper, an eight-band colour mixer with hue, saturation and luminance, three-way colour grading with blending, and camera calibration for the primaries.

Detail

Texture and clarity, sharpening and noise reduction that take the ISO into account, film grain. AI denoise runs on the device itself, on Mac, iPad and iPhone; nothing is uploaded.

Masks

Brush, linear and radial masks, up to eight at once, each carrying its own light, colour, detail and effects. On the Mac, a sky mask, an AI selection from a click and a skin mask seeded from a face, all refinable with the brush.Mac

Heal & clone

Spots with a feathered edge and a source you can move; clone when the repair should copy the source exactly.

Geometry & lens

Crop, straighten, orient, and a guided upright: draw a line or two on what should be vertical. Lens distortion and vignetting are corrected from the profile your camera wrote into the file, or from lens profiles you download in the Mac app.

Diffusion & defocus

Black Mist, Cross Screen, Streak and Soft Focus. Masks also offer Gaussian defocus and aperture-shaped bokeh.

Export

On the Mac: JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF, WebP and EXR, including 16-bit PNG and TIFF. On iPhone and iPad: JPEG, HEIC and PNG, to Photos or Files. Export individual photographs or a batch, with HDR options in supported formats.

HDR

HDR development and export

Develop RAW photographs with brighter highlights on supported HDR displays, and switch to an SDR preview to check the result. Export HDR JPEG and HEIC with an SDR fallback, or HDR PNG. Mac HDR preview requires macOS 14 or later; HDR JPEG and HEIC export requires macOS 15 or later. HDR is also available on supported iPhone and iPad displays.

Workflow

Keyboard and custom controls

Use keyboard shortcuts on Mac and iPad, with an in-app shortcut reference. My Go-To brings your most-used adjustments into one panel.

Diffusion filters

Diffusion & defocus.

Shape bright highlights with diffusion filters, or soften selected areas with masked defocus.

Black Mist

Glow around highlights

Adjust the bloom and glow around bright areas. Within a mask, you can also choose the glow colour or use the colour of the light source.

Cross Screen

Four-point stars on the lights

Adjust the length, width and angle of four-point streaks around light sources.

Streak

Directional highlight streaks

Extend bright light sources along a single axis, with control over the streak length, width and angle.

Soft Focus

Softness with underlying detail

Blend a softened image with the sharp original for a diffused finish that retains detail.

Masked defocus

Gaussian blur and bokeh

Soften a selected background or another area with a mask. Choose smooth Gaussian blur or bokeh with round, six-bladed or eight-bladed highlights, with adjustable aperture roundness and rotation.

Working with the photograph

Shape existing highlights

Bokeh uses the light sources already in the image. It does not generate a replacement background or infer scene depth.

Workflow

Library, Review, Develop.

Import and organise a shoot, review your selections, then develop and export. Copy adjustments between photographs to work through a series.

Library

Import from a folder or a card. Tag as you go, then filter by flag, rating, tag, camera, lens or date. Last import keeps today's shoot in view.

Review

Review photographs at a larger size. Pick, reject and rate with keyboard shortcuts or optional auto-advance. On the iPhone the same verdicts are in Rate & pick.

Z pick X reject 1–5 rate ←→ step

Develop

Looks, Adjust, Crop, Masks, Heal and Skin. Step to the next photograph and back without losing your place; the filmstrip follows the filter you set.

OhMyRAW Library with photo grid, filters and metadata
Library — organise photographs with tags, ratings and metadata.
Mac, iPad, iPhone

One library, three devices.

Keep a library in iCloud Drive to share photographs, edits, ratings and flags between Mac, iPad and iPhone. Changes appear on the other devices after iCloud syncs them. OhMyRAW does not require a separate account or storage subscription.

iPhone
Import from Photos

Import photographs from Photos and create a library directly on your iPhone. A Mac is not required.

On demand
Originals are downloaded when needed.

Libraries processed on the Mac include compact editing previews. On iPhone and iPad, originals are downloaded as needed for full-resolution work. Libraries created only on mobile use the originals for editing. Set a storage budget for downloaded originals.

iPad
Apple Pencil support

Masks, healing and cropping take the Pencil, with pressure shaping the brush's flow. The desktop's keyboard shortcuts work with a keyboard, and the whole frame stays in view while you work.

Mac
Choose where to keep your library

Store the library locally, on an external drive or in a synced folder. Select its location in the app.

What a library is
Library storage

The library folder contains your originals, editing metadata and any generated previews. You can back up the folder or move it, then open it from its new location.

The story

Why I built it.

I'm a photographer, and I've spent 40 years developing graphics software. I wanted an alternative to expensive subscriptions and software lock-in, without sacrificing my workflow or image quality.

That's why I built OhMyRAW: the image quality and editing tools I need for my photography, a library stored in a folder I choose, and a one-time purchase.

— FredrikGothenburg, Sweden
