Don’t see it on the roadmap, but hoping Nitro adds support for printing directly from the app at some point in the future.
Especially being able to print contact sheets.
I’m forever getting my photos looking amazing in Nitro, but when I go to print find its either a little over or under exposed or colors aren’t quite right. Being able to print a contact sheet would be a blessing so I can see all of my prints at once and quickly make some adjustments.
I understand, but printing is a black hole. Even something “simple” like a contact sheet is full of various landmines with color proofing and the like. I won’t say ‘no’ for sure, but it’s not a high priority.
Robert, one workaround is to export your image, then open it in Apple Preview. Preview allows you to view an image with different profiles. So, you can download the paper and/or printer profiles, and use Preview to view how the image would look when printed. It’s similar to the profile view in Lightroom Classic, just not as integrated as you’ll need to go back to Nitro, make adjustments, re-export, and re-view in Preview with the profile.
I too would like printing as a feature, but what Nik says I believe. Printers are cursed — I have exported for printing and have opened the photos in Affinity Photo with pretty good results. However, I must admit to not understanding Nitro Manual on the topic of dpi. Should I select 300dpi or not? It almost sounds like it is pointless. This undoubtedly reveals my ignorance about printing, dpi, ppi, aRGB vs. sRGB. I’ve always “learned” to export to aRGB for printing purposes, but sRGB for posting on various photo sites including instagram or sharing with friends and family.
If smarter people than me can add a comment or 2 to help me out, I’m curious as to the best setting for a standard 8×10 print or even a 12×16 or 16×23 (for example).
Cheers. David H
