Every edit, deconstructed.
RawCut reads the .xmp behind a photograph and replays the edit as a scrubbable six-stage timeline. Red overlays reveal exactly where masks shaped the frame. You stop guessing how looks are made — you watch them happen.
Live in your browser — drag to reveal the unedited RAW.

Recipe timeline
Non-destructive parameter history
One .xmp becomes six cumulative render states — light, curves, color, masks, finish. Each stage is re-rendered live by the same WebGL pipeline that draws the final image, so the history you scrub is the real math, not screenshots.
Masking
Red overlays, feathered to the pixel
Radial, linear and brush masks render as rgba(239,68,68,.55) coverage with their exact feather falloff — you see precisely where the editor touched the frame.
Color science
WebGL LUT engine
.cube files parse into a tiled 2D atlas and sample with trilinear interpolation in the fragment shader — 2³ to 65³, applied after the full grade, exportable back out.
Metadata
EXIF, deep-parsed
Body, glass and the exposure triangle read in-browser; RAW files surrender their embedded previews; GPS plus timestamp reconstruct the sun's path at the moment of capture.

Every post carries its complete recipe and LUT. One click deconstructs anyone's look on your own screen — that is the entire point of RawCut.
Stop guessing. Start deconstructing.
