For other people watching this thread, Marius sent me a crash log. It appears that iOS is stuck trying to trash the item, and because Nitro calls iOS on the user interface thread, eventually iOS kills the app for have a stuck user interface. I have made a note of this issue – I cannot fix the fact that iOS is getting stuck, but I can move the trash operation off the user interface thread to avoid a hang.
The reason you are seeing that is because the RAW converter is not trying to match the JPEG. It is trying to provide a faithful rendition of the scene. Also, camera companies do not provide information about their in-camera settings, so RAW decoders generally don’t have the information necessary to match them. A simple example is to shoot a picture as Monochrome in the camera. The RAW will be in color. Some companies do try to match the JPEG more closely but they also may be getting information from the camera companies, that I do not. If it’s always darker, then you might consider making a camera preset (the user manual discusses how to do that).
Probably nothing. I have received a few reports of time zone issues – cameras often do not put time zones into the file, so setting the time is not straightforward. Photos also has its own notion of time, which can conflict with the time in the file. Please email support@gentlemencoders.com and I can help you directly. I will need a sample file or two, but we need to do that over email not here (and I will send instructions over email as well for what I need).
Hi, sorry to hear you are having this problem. I have not run into it myself. I created an EXFAT partition on an SSD (I did it on the Mac, fwiw). Then, I put some images into the root of the volume and inside a folder in the volume. I added both to Nitro. Then I selected images in each of the root and the folder and then used the trash icon to delete them. Both worked fine and the app continued to run without freezing.
Can you find a crash log or something that I can look at? You can find those in Settings > Privacy > Analytics > Analytics Data and search for the app.
Also, do you have problems deleting files if they reside in a folder on your iPad, rather than the external disk?
Nitro does not support HDR data in JPEG / HEIF images. It’s on the list to do.
As you suspect / experienced with Photomator, it’s a hard problem to solve in general (and it’s not wise to solve it only partially).
Any edit operation in Nitro will not retain the HDR data (though Revert will restore the data).
Star ratings / flag / keywords are fine to use.
Nitro does not modify original images, so it uses sidecars in all cases. However, Adobe never provided a naming strategy for XMP except for proprietary RAWs, so I had to make one up. So, if you are tagging JPEGs, DNGs, TIFFs, etc. the Nitro sidecar is probably not detected by other apps. If you export to a HEIC, then Nitro will write the ratings into the file.
I plan in the future to let people just use “.xmp” for those sidecars, but that will cause problems if you shoot RAW+JPEG because both R and J will want to write to the same XMP file.
I just tried an X-T5 and I can see the impact of RAW Contrast. I have to zoom into 100%, but I can see it. It will enhance edges, so look at those parts of the image (in my case, it was a cat’s fur).
Press Return to enter a keyword.
They will be added to the file automatically when you export unless you turn off metadata.Nitro doesn’t offer a file name sort because the Photo Library does not provide that as a sort order. Nitro *could* sort in whatever way it wants, but I found that offering non-standard sorts causes severe performance issues with larger libraries.
Yes, this is a bug in the extension – when you zoom in, the mask overlay is not being shown. It’s on the list to fix. Sorry for the bug.
I’m glad it’s working. But: please, always tell me if you are on a beta OS. That adds an very important variable to the equation. In general, the version of the app and the version of the OS are good things to include.
