ILO RAW · 1.0
The photo editor
Illustrator never had.
A full Camera Raw developer that opens in its own window inside Adobe Illustrator. It works on placed and embedded photos, straight RAW files — and on your vector artwork, with the same controls.

WORKFLOW
Select. Develop. Done.
- 01
Select anything
A placed photo, an embedded image, a RAW file you open from disk, vector artwork — or all of them at once.
- 02
Develop in a real editor
Big preview, live histogram, before/after, zoom to 100% — every slider responds instantly on the GPU.
- 03
Press Done
The image goes back exactly where it was — same size, rotation and clipping. Select it again next week and continue.
EVERYTHING INSIDE
Twelve panels.
Nothing left out.
Tone Curve
Parametric curve you drag directly on the graph, plus point curves for RGB, Red, Green and Blue — with the histogram behind it.
Color Mixer
Hue, Saturation and Luminance for eight color bands, a targeted-adjustment tool you drag right on the photo, and Point Color for precise shifts of any sampled color.
Color Grading
Shadows, Midtones, Highlights and Global wheels with luminance, Blending and Balance — in a perceptual color space, so grades stay clean.
Masks
Linear, Radial, Brush, Luminance range, Color range, AI Subject, AI Sky — and Shape: any Illustrator path becomes a mask. Up to four per image, each with its own 15 adjustments.
Cut Out
Remove the background using Photoshop’s own engine when it’s installed, or the built-in quick AI. Refine, shift and feather the edge; export a transparent PNG.
Detail
Sharpening with radius and edge masking, plus luminance and color noise reduction that keeps real detail.
Optics & Geometry
Lens distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration and defringe. Vertical and horizontal perspective, rotate, aspect, scale and offset with a grid.
Effects & Calibration
Post-crop vignette, film grain with size and roughness, and red / green / blue primary calibration with shadow tint.
Harmonize
Pull the photo toward your document swatches or the colors of selected artwork — so photos live inside the illustration’s palette.
Spot duotones as two grayscale plates colored with your real spot swatches, set to overprint — ready for screen print and offset.
Presets & LUTs
19 built-in looks previewed on your own photo, your own presets, .cube LUT import, and export of any look as a .cube for Photoshop, Premiere or Resolve.
ONLY IN ILLUSTRATOR
Your artwork is part of the edit.
Select photos and vector art together and they take the same grade. Fills, strokes, gradients — even each letter of multi-colored text — follow the look, and can always go back to their original colors.
- Gradients keep their exact angle and position
- Shared gradients outside the selection stay untouched
- Spot colors are protected by default

Illustrator can’t place RAW files. Ilo Raw can. It shows the camera preview instantly, decodes the full sensor data in the background, and places the developed photo on your artboard — linked to the RAW, re-editable any time. Also opens JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, PDF, WebP, AVIF and HEIC.
