CLUSTER DESTRUCTIVE-EDITOR-NON · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-01-05

Non-destructive RAW photo editors

This cluster consists of non-destructive RAW photo editors that allow adjustable edits, with one featuring layers and AI selection. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction is led by iphoto with 2 stars, while the other two members show no activity.

ENTRY TIMELINE

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 11 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
