Full Spectrum
RAW development for infrared and full-spectrum photography.
SpectRAW is the RAW-development stage of an infrared and full-spectrum workflow. It develops RAW files from infrared-converted and full-spectrum cameras into controlled, full-resolution 16-bit images, ready for final creative work in an image editor such as Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo.

Development tools
- Extended White Balance
- White-balance controls designed for the extreme color temperatures encountered in infrared photography.
- IR Channel Mapping
- Quick channel swaps and detailed channel mixing for false-color infrared development.
- LUTs
- Apply LUTs directly within the RAW-development workflow and save preferred treatments as presets.
- Tone & Color
- Focused tonal, presence and color controls for shaping the developed image without leaving SpectRAW.
- Monochrome
- Dedicated black-and-white development for infrared files rather than generic desaturation.
- RAW Detail
- Control sharpening and fine-detail rendering as part of RAW development.
- Presets
- Save and reapply development settings for repeatable infrared workflows.
- 16-bit TIFF Export
- Export a full-resolution 16-bit TIFF for continued editing in Photoshop or another finishing application.
A two-stage workflow
SpectRAW develops the RAW file. Your image editor finishes the photograph.
Use SpectRAW for infrared-specific RAW development — white balance, channel relationships, tone, monochrome and color interpretation, and related adjustments. Then continue in Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, or the editor of your choice for masking, retouching, compositing, and other pixel-level work.
