Nitro 2027: RAW Editor is Better, Faster & Still Playing Catch-Up

Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AndyHutchinson

Nitro Photo has spent a few years growing from “not shite-tro” into a properly capable Mac RAW editor, and this review looks at what has changed: RAW 9 support (macOS 27 only), the rebuilt masking, generative removal, Apple Photos compatibility and the new perspective tool. I also check how its highlight recovery, AI tools and asset management hold up against Lightroom and the free RapidRAW.
