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.

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.

BenHi Nik,
I did another test, still a bit confused:
When I create a smart Album, using Nitro with the Photo’s-library, It will create also a smart album in Photo’s, showing up in the Nitro folder (with series of letters and the name). However the photo’s selected and visible in Nitro don’t show up in Apple Photo’s. The smart-album stays empty in Apple Photo’s
Actually I think this is fine to me, as it enables me to delete the smart album in Nitro, without loosing the photo’s in the photo’s-library. Not sure whether it is intended though.Thanks Nik for the explanation.
I was aware of the smart album behavior in Apple Photo’s (deleting), but then again removing photo’s in Nitro smart album did not remove them in Apple Photo’s (which is great)
I will give it another try with the insights you gave me.
BenBut in RawPower, when using a non-system library, you can in edit mode via extension start editing in RP. So I assume it will work the same way ?
Hello Nik,
Thanks for responding. You must be very busy right now.
Preferabele on (batch) saving or (batch) export. So I guess in the regular (browse) view. But would be fine in the Exiftool if that is more simple to achieve.
(You probably know Affinity photo, I like te way the managed this, chose the tab mtd make the changes and save. You can import a save xml-files to apply depending for the applicable purposes).Thanks NIK, I just sent you some pictures.
Still possible I don’t quite understand the algoritme 🙃, But curious and willing to learn.(By the way the notification of this forum doesn’t seem to work)
Thanks Nik for the quick follow-up.
Based on your video tutorial “Auto Enhance in Raw Power 3 for Mac”, I had the impression that this was “always” the case. Nevertheless it seemed a bit strange to me that Raw-files wit CR2 and DNG files triggered the RAW-processing several times and my RW2-files never, even when parts of the image was severely under or over exposed. At the same time it triggers the relevant Tone, Curves, Enhance etc. so it’s ok with me. I just got curious.Best Regards
Ben
