Photomator - RAW Engine 9 with macOS27

Hi,


so with macOS27 there will also be the release of the latest Apple RAW engine, which I'm quite excited about.


Is there any information about Photomator being updated to utilise the new engine, or will it be stuck with RAW Engine 8?


I hope the question is not unnecessary and sorry for my bad English.


Cheers!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.6

Photomator relies largely on macOS for RAW processing, so I wouldn’t expect it to remain permanently tied to RAW Engine 8.


That said, I haven’t seen any information from Apple confirming exactly when or how Photomator will make use of the RAW-related changes in macOS 27. At present, Apple simply states that Photomator supports the RAW formats available through macOS RAW support.


So, where Photomator relies on Apple’s system-level RAW processing, I would expect macOS 27 to bring the newer RAW support to the app as well. However, we’ll probably have to wait for the final releases of macOS 27 and Photomator to know exactly how this will be implemented.
