## Description

RawDroid Demo is Android's pioneering app designed for photographers to decode and view camera RAW files directly on their devices. Supporting over 500 camera models and multiple RAW formats like .cr2, .nef, .arw, and more, it offers a comprehensive workflow management tool for field use. Key features include fullscreen image viewing, pan and zoom, metadata display (EXIF & XMP), batch operations, histogram, and a camera tether import functionality. The demo version features watermarks, allowing users to test compatibility before purchasing the Pro version, which unlocks advanced features such as custom watermarks and improved speed.

Please note that due to Android operating system changes, development is shifting towards a new version supporting Android 5.0+. Users can join the beta to try the latest iteration. RawDroid's support spans major camera brands including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Fujifilm, and many others. Ideal for photographers seeking portable RAW workflow management on Android tablets and smartphones, RawDroid enhances on-the-go image handling, preview, and backup.
