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

Update,
I think I already figured it out Nik. Discovered how the “saturation” is increased or decreased. Simple by dragging towards the edge of the color wheel, right ?

[BenB]

Yep, they still don’t quite understand how to work with extensions for Apple 😁.

Hi Nik,
Thanks fort your swift response. I can understand you are quite busy, no problem.
I have some specific question, perhaps you can elaborate a bit -;), as there is no description in the manual yet.
1. You mention Highlights Shadows and Midtones. The UI mentions Highlights, Shadows and “Overall”. I assume overall is then the “Midtones” ?
2. I see the color-wheel to pick colours for Highlights, Shadows and “Overall” separately, that’s fine. However I do not see a saturation/intensity slider (as there are in Lightroom and other products), so how can I manipulate the intensity (or saturation) of the chosen colour’s for shadows and Highlights separately ? The luminance slider has som effect but not much (logically).

Thanks for your time

Ben

Thanks Nik.
By the way, it appears to me that there is one exception to the “rule” that other app’s will use the jpeg (or tiff) after editing with RawPower ?. Affinity Photo will always pick-up the un-edited raw-file in Apple Photo’s, using their extension “edit in Affinity Photo” , at least that is my experience. (but then: Affinity always does, so it doesn’t even remember its own edits made earlier 😞).

[BenB]

Yes it can,
The procedure is different though how you opened the RAW file.
1. when opening from within Apple Photo’s by using the extension, after your edits just click at the “save edits” at the top right of the window.
2. When opening the RAWPower browser and choose “New Photo Library window” you can perform your edits and then click “Done” (it’s at the same place as the “edit” button top right)
3. When you open the raw directly in Raw Power. after editing you can use “File-> export to library”. The photo will be sent to your photo system-library.

Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks Nik,
So there is no “A.I- Denoise” variant.
If you mention “There are no noise reduction tools for JPEG” do you mean in general or for RawPower ?

Thanks Nik, for the quick response, and to put this on your “to do” list.
And thanks for pointing out the workaround, but it’s indeed not the way I would prefer to work -;).
