piRAWnha – iPad Photography App Updated
piRAWnha supports raw images transferred to the iPad with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, with iTunes or other transfer programs and works with all raw files supported by Apple (a complete list of cameras is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3825). Because of the considerable memory requirements for raw development, piRAWnha works best when no other iPad apps are running in the background.
