Edit raw photos in ipad

RAW is a generic term that refers to unprocessed image data captured directly from the Camera image sensor. Different Camera manufacturers RAW formats differ. It follows that the camera that took the photograph will be able to display the image - but other devices must have explicit support for the explicit image format.

This support page details the RAW formats natively supported by iPadOS 17:

Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma and visionOS – Apple Support

If native photo editing tools don't meet your needs, you may find that some Apps support a wider range of RAW formats. Perhaps consider Stratopherix FileBrowser - Document Manager, or its “pro version” FileBrowser Professional:
