File formats and editor handoff

File formats and editor handoff

RAW editing support depends on your camera and file format.

Preview and editing

A file may have a viewable preview even when full editing is unavailable. Different editors may render the same RAW file differently.

Choose the operation

Lightroom Classic catalog import, Edit In, Collection handoff, linked projects and portable XMP metadata have different requirements. Editor-specific adjustments do not always translate.

Design files

PSD/PSB, AI, EPS, SVG, INDD/INDT/IDML, Affinity (Designer, Photo, Publisher), Sketch, Figma (.fig), XD, GIMP (XCF), Freehand, SmartAlbums, fonts (OTF/TTF/WOFF). Previews appear where the format provides one.

Formats, requirements and mapped settings

RAW development

Support depends on camera, compression/file variant and available decoder. Where offered and explicitly enabled, an installed Adobe DNG Converter can provide optional local compatibility; originals stay unchanged.

Lightroom handoff

Sending collections to Lightroom uses Mantle Bridge, the plug-in included with Mantle (Lightroom Classic 11.4 or later). Supported XMP export maps selected exposure, black-and-white and eligible crop/straighten settings and reports unmapped settings.

Platforms and processing

macOS 14 or later, on a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer).

For Macs with Apple silicon. Intel and Windows versions are planned.

Large RAW output and optional denoise depend on available memory and processing limits.
