    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.

    No. That’s not what will happen. Apple has made RAW 9 an “opt-in” feature. That’s because it is much slower than the existing decoder, and because images can change appearance. They know what they are doing!

    I haven’t decided on the details of how RAW 9 will work with Nitro (or RAW Power – I hope both apps will get that feature), but I will not change the decode of existing images without people agreeing to it.

    I suppose it’s possible that other apps would just switch their customers to RAW 9, but I won’t.

    First, RAW 9 only runs on OS 27, so Intel Macs are out of luck.

    Overall, RAW 9 looks great and I will definitely enable it. But, it has higher resource requirements, including memory. That means that some iOS / iPadOS devices may not be good candidates to use RAW 9. Since RAW 9 changes the appearance of images, that complicates matters further, especially when using iCloud or other synching between devices that can run RAW 9, and those that cannot (e.g., Intel Macs). You don’t want to be in a position where you edit an image on one device and it looks different when you open it on another device.

    Like other (proper) Mac apps, you can double click the title bar to zoom the window.

    The app doesn’t have an import module. Since an SD card is just a file system volume, people can use the Finder or Image Capture.

    People have requested it, so it’s on the feature list for the future. Generally, that kind of import feature is less about copying, and more about dealing with metadata or copying them into specific folders, so it’s can be complex to implement.

    Photomator has the same problems that Nitro has – it can open a file, but when it tries to access the folder, it sees no other images. Nitro treats the network share like any other directory – I wrote a test app that I gave to UGreen to show how my code works fine for local storage on iOS/macOS, on the Mac when talking to their NAS, but fails with iOS/NAS.

    Noise reduction is always in the Detail adjustment in all versions, but only for RAW images.

    He wrote earlier that the rating was seen, so the XMP file was readable by his other app.
