I do photography as a hobby. The last 7 years, I have been using DXO on my Surface Pro to edit my RAW files. Recently I have simplified my gear and want to do something similar on the iPad. I know it cannot replace DXO 100%, but I am looking for an app to edit my RAW files on the iPad. My workflow involves very basic things

  1. Geotagging RAW images
  2. Perspective correction/cropping/rotating
  3. Image adjustment (Temperature, exposure, saturation, hue, contrast)
  4. Noise reduction
  5. Dust Removal
Lightroom can do all this very well, but I don't do this often enough to justify the subscription fee of Lightroom.
Affinity seems to be too powerful for my needs, more as a substitute of Photoshop CS than Lightroom.

Can anyone suggest a RAW editor for the iPad? I am willing to pay a 1 time fee.

PS: I thought Apple's Photos could do everything I wanted, but it doesn't recognize .raf files from my camera, although it does recognize Nikon .nef files

Thanks. I found Affinity a bit complicated and RawPower had a dated UI. Pixelmator seems to suit my requirements just fine.
