Nitro 2026.08

Posted on by Nik Bhatt

I released Nitro Photo 2026.08 today. You can get it on the App Store.

  • RAW v9 support. I made a detailed video on YouTube.
  • Edit Captions in the File System (all OS versions) and in the Photo Library (OS 27 only)
  • Edit Keywords in the Photo Library (OS 27 only). Keywords already worked in the File System.
  • Apple finally added ratings to Photos in OS 27! Nitro can now read and store ratings into the Photo Library. Because you may have added ratings in Nitro and in OS 27 Photos, there is a synchronization interface to make them consistent.
  • Add Unrated to the list of Quick Filters.

  • More powerful RAW Sharpen and RAW Contrast filters.

  • Preferences for hiding tool overlays and when tapping on the image.

  • Fixed long standing issue with masking RAW images where the masked area was sometimes drawn incorrectly.
  • Fix bugs with keywords, key repeat, and XMP files.

And a lot more, which you can find in the release notes.

Nitro 2026.07.02

I just released a bug fix update to Nitro. You can get it on the App Store via the Updates tab or by going to this link. If you have problems with the link, then search for Nitro Photo in the App Store.

If you are going to be installing macOS 27, you definitely want to get this update, as it addresses compatibility issues with macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

These are the changes:
* Support for Sony RX10 V.
* Fix bug with Recover Highlights where the slider values would not be remembered
* Fix bug when scrolling the grid where the image was sometimes also selected.
* Work around bug in macOS 27 when reordering keywords.
* Work around crash in macOS 27 when exporting.
* Work around bug in macOS 27 when reordering adjustments.

I’m working hard on another update that adds support for Apple’s RAW v9 decoder, and other features added by Apple in the “OS 27” versions.
