So close, so frustrating

Ok, first, this app is fantastic at what it does but so miserably integrated into Photos that it may as well be useless. Supposedly this is useable as an extension in Photos but it does not support RAW. I paid the 60$ to upgrade to pro and guess what, that does not support extensions! So at the moment there is no way to use this application for editing RAW files in Photos without manually exporting the RAW file, manually loading that into the program, exporting the file to disk and then importing that file back into photos. So now I have two versions in Photos and no edit history on the modified file. This is just irritating. Aurora, Photos is designed from the ground up around RAW processing. Disabling RAW in your products just breaks Photos altogether and honestly I wish Apple would disallow this kind of rediculous policies to get approved in the App store.

However, the app itself is so very good.

PS. As a workaround I found that if I edit something useless like bumping exposure by 1% I can load the image into this program without hitting the RAW restriction. By modifying _anything_ the file gets loaded as a TIFF instead of a RAW file and this gets around the restrictions on RAW using Photos. Seems like a very silly workaround to a problem that should not exist in the first place.
