PhotoFlow

Unlike the standard image formats, the advantage of shooting photos in RAW stems from the fact that you are able to capture all the data recorded by the sensor. In other words, since the information is not compressed, you can produce higher quality pictures as well as fix possible problems that are uncorrectable in other file formats.

PhotoFlow is a tool designed to help you edit RAW images in a non-destructive manner using the plethora of tools and effects available.

It is necessary to mention that you should run the setup as administrator, as otherwise there is a chance that the application cannot be installed properly. On a side note, while you can also get some errors when you run the installer as admin, you can overcome this step by closing and restarting the installer.

The interface is not quite what you would expect from a photo editor, meaning that you might have to spend some time to find the tools and options available. Moreover, the program runs the command line functions simultaneously, a feature that can be bothersome.

You should know that the editing tools do not feature a description yet. Consequentially, you can test out various tools and effects via the classic trial and error method.

The strong point of the program is that it works well with RAW files, a feature that can be very important for professional photographers. Not only does an RAW file get better details and records greater levels of brightness, but you can also be sure that any editing performed on the picture does not destroy the original data.

On the other hand, you should know that the program only works with JPEG and TIFF files, meaning that once you complete your project, these are the only 2 formats you can save or export your tweaked photo to.

In case you commonly work with RAW photos, then PhotoFlow is an app that can help you make the necessary adjustments and process your pictures faster.
