any recomendations for a free photo editing app for a mac mainly for raw files a bit of sharpening cropping etc, i am using canons dpp at the moment and was wondering if there is anything better
GIMP works - but takes time to learn and is a bit clunky.
Just pay for Lightroom, it's not that expensive.
iPhoto does the basics and is free on a mac?
capture one. image quality is usually better than the manufacturers own and much better than the adobe colour engine used in lightroom/photoshop. has a fair few lens profiles too.
iPhoto is not long for this Earth, having been replaced by Photos. I believe Photos does support RAW format though.
Rawtherapee is free, and can do a lot of stuff for RAW files, though maybe takes time to learn. http://www.rawtherapee.com/
Also Lightzone looks interesting, though not used it much myself. http://www.lightzoneproject.org/
Acorn is another you could try
thanks a few to have a look at
Darktable (Linux light room basically) is also worth a look and is fully Mac compatible.
