    Both are good suggestions. I’ll put them on the list for consideration in a future release.

    It sounds a bit weird. When you enter edit, if the image is color, then that is correct behavior (and matches Preview). If the images are black and white outside of edit, then that also makes sense, if Photos is just using the embedded JPEG. Starting in color and going to BW and then going to color again is weird. That’s harder to explain unless the camera is being inconsistent about what thumbnails it’s writing (there are usually two or three thumbnails in the RAW).

    This sounds reversed from the behavior I would expect. If you set the camera to Monochrome, the thumbnail should be monochrome. Then when you open it in Nitro or Photos (or Preview), the image should revert to color. That’s because, in general, Apple does not attempt to apply picture styles / picture controls to raw images.

    I suggest this test:
    Shoot an image with monochrome
    Connect the camera or the card to the Mac, but don’t import into Photos
    Instead, copy the image(s) to the desktop.
    Look at the thumbnails – they should be monochrome, and if you open them in Preview they should be color.

    You can zoom the viewer whenever you want to more precisely place the dots. On an iPad, you can just two-finger pinch – there is no special mode. There doesn’t need to be.

    1. I am able to reproduce the problem with perspective and masks. But not in every case. What works is: apply guided perspective and then add a mask. Adding a mask first and then perspective (which is a bit unusual IMO) will shift. Also, the vertical / horizontal sliders appear to mess up the mask too. Thanks for reporting the bug.
    2. I don’t know about #2 – it could be a situation when the app is simply confused.
    3. Rotating can be slow if the window is large. You can use the straighten tool to avoid this problem.
    4. Guided Perspective already allows you to zoom in. While I can imagine transparent or thinner lines might help, they may be invisible in certain images. When I have made the lines thinner in the past, people ask for thicker ones. When they are thicker, people want them thinner. /shrug

    Yes, I will put both of your requests on my list for consideration in a future release.

    Hi Erin,

    Crop should definitely not stick like you are describing. Does it happen if you quit and reopen the app? Does it happen if try cropping an image that has no other adjustments on it (make sure it doesn’t have straighten when you run the test)?

    Also, you are running an old version of Nitro – the current version is 2026.5.

    The site doesn’t allow uploading images or videos. Both to manage storage and avoid hacks.

    As Jerry says, there is no “import” in Nitro. So if you drag 30 images, you are telling it you want to open 30 individual editor windows.

    If you force quit the app, and reopen it, it should not try to reopen those.

    Tahoe has more supported cameras than Sequoia, but that’s about it right now.

    Ed, perhaps you have assigned a “camera preset” in Nitro. Those automatically get applied when you open an image in Edit.

    To find out, you can go to the Preset interface, and click the little camera icon at the bottom.

    Yes. I plan to sync the ratings.

    It’s hard to tell from your description, but it seems most likely that you don’t have a RAW image. Is it possible that you changed the camera setting to shoot JPEG? If not, when you look at Info in Nitro, what is the file extension and is there a RAW badge?

    Thanks! I posted some additional information on the Nitro Mac forum if you are interested.

    Thanks!

    First bis : in case of non supported cameras do you have any possibility to extend the comptatibility with RawBridge ?

    I don’t know yet – I’m sure I can add new cameras, and I think we will get some of the improvements. Still needs investigation, but I’m hopeful.

    Second : any possibilities of fine tuning on your side ? If yes what are the types of control ?

    Most of the tuning controls are still available.

    Third : any thoughts concerning the monochrom raws ?

    No idea at all.

    Last one : is it good ? ( comparing to Dxo’s )

    No idea how it compares to DxO. I do see noticeable improvements in noise reduction with some high ISO Canon RAWs that I have.
