You shot 2,000 frames.
Let's find the 50 that matter.

• FIX — Windows launch on machines without WebView2. The app's window is drawn by Microsoft's WebView2 runtime, which Windows 11 ships but many Windows 10 PCs don't — and without it the app failed to start with cryptic errors. It now checks on launch and, if the runtime is missing, shows one clear message pointing you to Microsoft's free ~2 MB one-time install, instead of failing. Windows 11 is unaffected.
• Install reminder — extract the whole ZIP first (right-click → Extract All…), then run RAWKeepers.exe. Running it from inside the zip window leaves the app's files behind and produces "missing file" errors.
• Quieter under the hood — silenced a background log flood that could pile up during a session (harmless, but it buried real error messages from testers).
• Includes everything from v1.30.6: LUT color grading with seven built-in film & cinema looks, applied live in the eyepiece.

• NEW — LUT color grading. Pick a look and every exported photo gets it as the final grade — and you watch it happen live in the eyepiece. Add any .cube LUT exported from Lightroom, Premiere or Resolve to your personal library, or use the built-ins.
• Seven built-in looks — film styles and cinema grades, ready in the Edit panel: Warm Film, Portrait Film, Vivid Slide, Classic B&W, Teal & Orange, Cinema Roll-off and Matte Fade.
• Bug fixes — the camera interface now scales as one unit and always fits the window at its true aspect ratio (controls can no longer be cut off), and browser-style zoom can't distort the layout.
• Mac (v1.30.9) additionally: harsh-daylight photos — hard overhead sun with people under tents or awnings — are now detected and their shadows opened automatically, halo-free. Normal photos are untouched.

• Windows catches up to the Mac — everything from the last two Mac releases, now on PC.
• One honest progress bar — with Split sessions on, the bar now runs forward across the whole job instead of restarting per session; plus a roomier layout (higher cull knob, slightly taller window).
• Properly introduced — the app now identifies itself as "RAW Keepers" in Windows dialogs (SmartScreen, Task Manager, file properties) instead of an internal build name.
• The beta is the full app — every Pro feature unlocked for your personal 30-day window, which starts the first time you launch. No more 🔒 locks for testers.
• Split sessions — several shoots on one card? A Cull-panel toggle writes each shoot to its own Session_1, Session_2… folder by capture time.
• Blink culling actually works now — its AI model was never shipping inside the Windows bundle; eyes-shut frames are properly demoted at last.
• Honest to the end — conversions count the files actually written (a dead converter says Error, never "Done"), cancel reports Cancelled everywhere, filename collisions can't silently cost you a keeper, and the progress bar moves during RAW→DNG conversion.
• Easier setup — a one-time prompt offers Adobe's free DNG Converter if it's missing.

Split sessions. Shoot several different sessions on one card? Turn on Split sessions and RAW Keepers sorts the photos into separate shoots by their capture time and saves each into its own Session_1, Session_2, Session_3… folder — culled and converted, ready to hand off. Also new: the Mac now shows live hardware stats (Apple CPU/GPU and unified-memory usage), and a BETA badge under the Cull/Edit dials. Still the full app running natively on Apple Silicon, every feature unlocked, your photos never leaving your computer. Grab it from the download section; first launch needs a one-time approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security (the beta isn't notarized yet).

Bug fixes — no new features. The progress bar can no longer get stuck on "Starting…" during a long batch, the cull now rejects occluded/empty frames (a mostly-blocked shot can't sneak in as a keeper), and the About panel links to the new online Manual.

• Bird / wildlife mode — culls on focus only (keeps every sharp bird, even dark or off-center), cleans high-ISO grain while keeping feathers sharp, brightens the bird, and re-crops automatically — always at the photo's original aspect ratio.
• AI Denoise slider — a learned deep denoiser for heavy high-ISO grain that reconstructs real texture instead of smoothing it away.
• Sports mode crops into the action — the ball is the focal point, the crowd is trimmed in favor of the play, the dead foreground is excluded, and frames are leveled by the camera's own gyro.
• Concert / Stage preserves the light show — gel colors are never white-balanced away, blacks stay black, beams keep full impact; the artist is lifted locally so their detail reads clearly.
• A far better progress bar — stage, current photo, count, %, live time-remaining, and a green flash each time the cull finds a keeper — plus a live before/after in the eyepiece.
• 26 fixes from a full-program review — honest error reporting, hardened disk-space checks, crash-proof culling.

The first public beta: AI culling and editing, hand-held HDR merging, gyro auto-leveling, Sports and Concert modes, Product Photos — reading Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Leica/DNG and Nikon RAW with nothing else to install. All on-device.
