Rawsie is a desktop software working locally on your machine, your data will not be uploaded anywhere online. You can use Rawsie on two machines, e.g. your office desktop and a travel Macbook.
Rawsie is a pro photography outlet of Dotphoton, a Swiss deeptech startup reimagining imagery for biomedical labs, Earth Observation and automotive.
DNG Converter offers its own compression – either lossy or lossless. Lossy compression albeit helps to reduce the file to the size of JPEG, doesn't preserve image quality and introduces some artefacts. Lossless compression, on the other hand, keeps the image quality, but can only reduce the file size by a factor of 2. Rawsie offers the best of the both worlds: preserves the image quality as in lossless compression, but offers an unparalleled up 5:1 file size reduction close to that of JPEG format. Please see our Youtube for more information.
