RapidRAW
cybertimon/rapidraw
A beautiful, non-destructive, and GPU-accelerated RAW image editor built with performance in mind.
Open-source alternative to Capture One
What it replaces
Capture OneDevelop local RAW photographs non-destructively with .rrdata sidecar adjustments and export processed image files
Edits live in .rrdata sidecars; keep them with the photographs when moving or backing up a library, or the photographs reopen without those edits. RapidRAW is in active development and the project says it is less polished than mature RAW editors. This comparison covers Capture One Pro local RAW editing and image export only; Capture One catalog and adjustment migration, camera-specific rendering, styles, plugins and tethering equivalence are not established.
