Hai Nik,
You are quite right, that’s why I wrote “I need to rethink my workflow” -;)
Valuable extra info about the xmp-data, I already wondered (by trial and error)…. So I have found a work around with sending at least an edited Image to Affinity photo including the Nitro edits as jpeg or .tiff and perform some extra actions (like changing/adding some and iptc-data and object removal en some other things. After editing I can have this image saved back (preference setting in Affinity) to the “original” Nitro-folder. So that is fine. After all I don’t need those actions all the time luckily.
Thanks for your feed back.Thanks for the explanation.
I think it’s mostly the extra step to take. I am so used to “sent to” or “open in” that I almost forgot the possibility for an extra step. (I can also assign a folder which automatically sends new pictures to another app). However I mostly use the other apps for object-removal, dehaze- and noise-reduction and add meta-and ipct-data. So would prefer to do that directly, and have the same picture available in the same folder as it was. So that I don’t have to allow another folder for Nitro to see that picture easily in browse-mode with the extra info and avoiding 2 Versions of that picture, needing to rename or tag them to know the difference.
Need to rethink my workflow -;).And here is a second happy user.
I already used a external usb-c ssd for storage of my photo’s as well at home and when I am on route. So I, like John, edit my photo’s when I am on a trip and use my iMac when I am back home. I don’t use iCloud photo’s so this is really a blessing. So now I am able to carry over all my Nitro edits back and forward between my iPad air m1 and my iMac. This is really fantastic. Love the new iPad version and it’s interface. It’s so look alike and with almost the same functionality as far as I can tell right now. Great job Nik !Though my eyes aren’t in their best condition anymore, I have no problem at all with the outlining of the thumbnails. I have set the Appearance to Dark-mode and the Viewer background to 0.20. This gives me plenty of contrast and a crisp blue line around the thumbnails. When I change the Appearance and viewer background to pure white, it gets a bit more difficult to see where you are in the thumbnails (But I don’t like that setting at all anyway). However when setting the Appearance to Dark-mode and the viewer background to pure white to 1 It is still very convenient to follow were you are with the thumbnails
Also moving forward and backward through the thumbnails, using the arrow keys, serves me very well. If I want to keep an overview I use to swipe through the thumbnails in stead of using the arrow keys, or in practice use both (arrow and swiping).
In N-up mode it works very convenient as it is now.So as the wildrover writes. “It is not easy to please everyone”. Playing a bit with the settings did it for me. I have and use different apps, and they all have their specifics when it comes to the UI-view and sizes of text for instance.
Nitro serves me very well in this regard. (ha, and in lot of other things too -;)

Bump:
Is it ment to be that a Smart album with pictures in Nitro doesn’t show up with the pictures involved in Photo’s? As mentioned above the smart album shows in Photo’s (with a bit of an “encrypted” but recognisable name) in the “Nitro” section but the pictures are not shown. So the album stays empty in Photo’s
Actually I found “recovery” as a slider even for a Jpeg.
Yes but that is not the “Recover Highlights” Nik is talking about. That is only available for RAW pictures in the AI section (first icon beneath the histogram)
The recovery as you mentioned works as follows (Quote from the RawPower help function) this slider works like a “selective exposure”. Only the brightest pixels are affected, but unlike highlights, it adjust the brightness just like exposure. Sometimes you will get better results with Recovery and other times Highlights will work better.
This might be of use to you

Hello Pito,
First of all I am not an expert on this subject, but might be able to help you get it sorted out. On the other hand you might already know what I am writing here, in that case I am not much of help -;)
The approach you took is a possibility but it needs some understanding of the RGB colour model and how to create different colours in mixing RGB-colours will help a lot. If you search the internet you probably will find some information that will help you about mixing. Look for RGB colour wheel/model. Very often it will lead you to Photoshop explanations, but the principal is the same.I was able to create a blue colour in one blown-out sky (but still a bit “artificial”), using the method of masking the sky. This all done on a jpeg-file,
However I don’t know if you are shooting I RAW or jpeg.
I shoot mostly in RAW, and I discovered that using Nitro, was able to retrieve blue sky with clouds (from blown-out sky) very efficiently and beyond expectations. I hardly managed that in other software.
If you are shooting RAW, I will gladly make some suggestions how I was able to do that (It’s a bit beyond the standard “retrieve highlights”). It was really a surprise to me by choosing the right workflow in Nitro.
Hth
