Imaging Edge Desktop
Imaging Edge Desktop is Sony camera software for Mac that enables tethered shooting, RAW photo development, and image browsing on a computer.
What is Imaging Edge Desktop?
Imaging Edge Desktop is a native desktop photo workflow app for Sony camera users on Mac. It helps photographers control compatible cameras from a computer, review captured images, and process RAW files in one workflow. The app combines three main tools: Remote for tethered shooting with live view, Viewer for browsing and rating images, and Edit for adjusting and developing RAW photos. It is commonly used in studio, product, portrait, and careful review workflows where shooting from a Mac and checking results on a larger screen is helpful. Imaging Edge Desktop also supports batch-oriented image review and camera-connected work that fits alongside memory card import and post-processing. For people who shoot with supported Sony cameras, it serves as a focused companion app for capture and RAW editing rather than a general-purpose photo library manager.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Imaging Edge Desktop is legitimate Sony camera software. Access to connected cameras, image files, and removable storage is normal for its purpose, and those permissions are expected when you use tethered shooting or RAW processing features. If you no longer use a supported Sony camera on this Mac, removing the app will mainly affect those workflows and any saved app settings.
Recommendation: Keep Imaging Edge Desktop if you use a compatible Sony camera for remote shooting, image review, or RAW editing on your Mac. If you do not use those features anymore, you can remove it to free space and simplify your Applications folder without affecting macOS itself.
