July 2019 – Gentlemen Coders

In case you missed it, I wrote this article for the TidBITS website. The article covers non-destructive editing in general, but focuses on how Photos works, especially with extensions and external apps.

Feel free to comment here, or on their site.

Improvement to the Blog July 28, 2026

The blog has had some issues for a while and I finally addressed them today. Comments were broken for a long time and the posts themselves were squeezed into the middle of the page. I also fixed some issues with the forum and the support header looks better too.

Nitro 2026.07 and more July 27, 2026

There are new updates to Nitro and RAW Power available now. Make sure you get 2026.07, rather than version 2026.06, which had a bad bug. The big news for Nitro is a completely rebuilt masking interface. The old one was powerful but hard to use. Now, it’s more powerful and much easier to use. Here […]

Nitro 2025.10 (Mac Only) October 21, 2025

I released a new update to Nitro (2025.10) just for macOS. Fixes the annoying horizontal line that shows up on macOS Sequoia (it’s a macOS bug) Enables tagging on macOS Tahoe (it was working then it broke, and now it’s working again) Addresses an issue with Tahoe again when editing images and then quitting right […]

RawBridge has shipped and what’s next September 12, 2025

RP 3.5 and Nitro 2025.7 have shipped with RawBridge, which greatly improves RAW decoding and lens correction for compressed Fujifilm and Nikon HE cameras. RawBridge also enables even faster new camera support. I’m about to ship updates to both apps soon – mostly bug fixes, but Nitro for Mac adds a feature that lets you […]

Exciting Camera Support Improvements Coming June 25, 2025

As you know RAW Power and Nitro have exceptional camera support. Far better than other apps that use Apple’s RAW, including (and especially) Apple Photos. It’s about to get even better. The main downside of the additional camera support is the lack of automatic lens correction, which requires you to use the apps’ manual lens […]

Nitro Localized Keywords Update June 4, 2025

The new Nitro keywords feature provides over 1000 localized keywords in six languages. Now that people have the app in their hands, they have found some incorrect translations (some >very< incorrect :-). Some customers have volunteered to correct the keywords and those changes will go into the next update. If you are reasonably fluent in […]

Nitro 2025.4 Has Been Released (+ RAW Power Updates) June 2, 2025

I just released version 2025.4 of Nitro along with matching updates for RAW Power on macOS and iOS. You can get the updates on the App Store along with the release notes. Nitro has a bunch of new stuff, including the hierarchical keyword feature.

Hierarchical Keywords Are Coming to Nitro April 17, 2025

I am putting the finishing touches on a hierarchical keyword feature for Nitro. I am also going to make a video since it’s a pretty deep feature. After that, I am going to fix some bugs and send out a beta.

Nitro and RAW Power Updates Have Been Released March 13, 2025

Download them on the App Store (go to the Updates area on the Store). Both apps add support for Fujifilm X-M5, Nikon Z50 II, OM Digital OM-3, Panasonic DC-GX880 and Panasonic DC-S5D. Nitro adds a bunch of features including borders, more zoom options, and better performance.

What’s coming in 2025.3 March 6, 2025

I released 2025.2 with some important fixes and am now on 2025.3. That is in beta testing right now. I have started working on keywords, but that is a larger effort, and there is so much in this release already that it makes sense to get it to you sooner rather than later. Features: Borders […]
