  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of PhotoActive, we have some specific ideas about photographing with constraints.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gentlemen Coders&lt;/strong&gt; RAW Power 2 lets you process raw files on your Mac with full control over Apple’s raw engine, offering features previously available only in Aperture. It has exceptional highlight recovery, as well as noise reduction, capture sharpening, gamut mapping, and more. RAW Power also works with JPEGs, TIFFs, and other standard image formats. RAW Power 2 runs as an extension in Apple Photos or as a standalone app. RAW Power 2 for iOS is a full photo library app that offers the same features, and works with your existing Photos library.
