Your AI works in the catalog you already have. Lightroom renders every pixel and stays the single source of truth. RawLogic adds no second RAW engine.
Your catalog, your rules: RawLogic only touches folders you grant, saves the before-state ahead of every edit, and never deletes your files.
On a RAW original, your AI can create Lightroom's AI Sky, Subject and Background masks and set sixteen local adjustments on the selected one, such as exposure, highlights and texture. Brushes, gradients and other mask types are still made by hand.
100+ develop settings your AI can read and set directly, from exposure and tone to the B&W mix and lens profile.
Your AI lists the develop presets in your Lightroom and applies the one you name. For profiles it switches between Adobe Color, Adobe Monochrome and Adobe Standard. Pick any other profile yourself, including camera-matching and third-party film profiles, and your AI tunes tone, colour and contrast on top of it.
Your AI asks Lightroom for a preview and measures it, whole frame or a region you point at, so its next move is based on the picture.
Capture the settings from a frame you like as a recipe, then apply it to one photo or a whole selection, with a batch undo if you change your mind.
Ask for verticals corrected or the horizon levelled, and your AI applies Lightroom's Upright, straightening and crop settings. Guided Upright is still done by hand.
The state of the photo is saved before every write. Your AI keeps a history of its edits and can undo any of them that Lightroom still matches. A preset is the exception: you take that back from Lightroom's History panel.
In plain language, in the AI client you already use.
Before anything changes, RawLogic makes sure the edit is safe and aimed at the right photo.
The edit happens in your own catalog, and your AI sees the new picture.
Handing an AI the keys to years of work is a real decision. These are the rules RawLogic is built on.
RawLogic touches only folders you have granted, one by one. Anything else is refused.
The before-state is written down ahead of every edit, and your existing XMP sidecar is backed up before a save.
RawLogic removes only its own temporary files. Clearing an old backup takes a button you press yourself; no agent can do it.
If an edit times out, RawLogic stops and tells you. It never fires the same change again on its own.
With no action from you or your AI, RawLogic makes no network calls. Close the window and it quits.
Your preferences and what RawLogic has learned about how you edit live in the app on your Mac, not inside one AI provider.
AI plans change every few months. The part that knows you should not have to start over each time.
Other editing apps, and the storage and delivery links around a shoot, are places a plug-in alone cannot reach.
Straight answers to what photographers ask us first.
Your licence never expires. All RawLogic 1.x updates are included, including fixes for new Lightroom Classic releases. RawLogic 2.0 will be a reduced-price upgrade for founders.
Yes. If RawLogic isn't right for you, ask within 14 days for a full refund.
Your own Macs, for personal use, with one RawLogic sign-in.
Any camera RAW format Lightroom Classic supports, including Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Leica, Panasonic Lumix, OM System and Olympus, Pentax and Ricoh, Hasselblad, Sigma and DJI, plus Lightroom's HDR and panorama merges. On a DNG, your AI edits settings, recipes and masks behind a verified backup copy of the file; profiles are switched only on a camera-native RAW.
Claude Desktop for Mac, from Anthropic. Any Claude plan works, including Free; paid plans include more usage. Support for more AI clients is planned.
Your RAW files never leave your Mac. Lightroom does the editing in your own catalog, and RawLogic sends nothing on its own. When your AI asks to look at a photo, RawLogic sends it a small JPEG preview, and that preview goes to your AI provider under its terms.
RawLogic only touches folders you grant, saves the before-state ahead of every edit, backs up your XMP sidecar before a save, and never deletes your files.
Yes, for 7 days at a time. RawLogic checks your sign-in when it can reach the internet and keeps working without one for a week after each check.
RawLogic works wherever Claude is available. Check Anthropic's list of supported countries and regions before buying.
No. RawLogic runs only on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later, with Lightroom Classic on that Mac. It doesn't run on iPad or iPhone, and it doesn't work with the Lightroom app for mobile or the web.
