🗣️
Natural Language Edits

Describe what you want in plain English. The AI translates your intent into precise Lightroom adjustments.

🔗
Agentic AI Experience

Your AI agent directly controls Lightroom — works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Kiro, and more via MCP.

🛡️
Non-Destructive

All edits are applied as standard Lightroom develop settings. Undo anything, anytime.

💻
Runs Locally

Photos are only shared with the AI model you already use — never with our servers. RAW Compiler runs entirely on your Mac.

How It Works

1
Connect

Launch RAW Compiler on your Mac to link Lightroom Classic and your AI agent.

2
Prompt

Select a photo and describe the edit you want in natural language.

3
Done

The AI applies develop settings directly in Lightroom. Review and refine.

Struggling with Lightroom?

You describe it. AI moves the sliders.

If you usually browse presets to find a style you like, RAW Compiler gives you a faster next step: apply a preset, ask for refinements in plain English, compare variations, and keep only the version you want.

Use presets as a starting point

Browse, inspect, and apply Lightroom presets before you begin refining the image.

Ask for changes in plain English

Try prompts like "make this warmer and softer" or "less orange skin, more natural contrast."

Compare alternatives quickly

Explore several creative directions instead of committing to one preset recipe too early.

Advanced workflows

Let AI iterate while you direct.

RAW Compiler is built for photographers who already understand Lightroom and want a faster path to ideation, review, style matching, and panel-level refinement — without leaving the Lightroom Classic workflow.
