Hi John,
Sorry to hear about this problem. I ran a quick test but was not able to reproduce the problem. This is what I did.
1. Put a CR2 on a flash drive
2. Edit that image in Nitro (on the flash drive). I turned it black and white.
3. Ejected the drive and inserted it into an iPad
4. Add the drive itself to Nitro.
5. Set the rating
6. Entered Edit – image was black and white.Based on your description, the only thing I can think of is that the app was not able to read the XMP file (or couldn’t find it), so it made a new one.
I suggest re-running your test by editing on the Mac, and then going to iOS, but go into Edit first to see if the image’s edits appear. If they do, set the rating or flag. Does that work?
If you unlock the sidebar, then it stays visible (but covers part of the grid). It’s basically waiting for you to pick a container or click in the grid. Then it will stay hidden until you press the sidebar button. When you press the sidebar button, it will appear again as before (covering part of the grid). When you click on a new container (or in the grid) it will hide itself again.
You can unlock the sidebar using the toolbar. Then you only bring it up when you need it. It can’t be invisible ALL the time, otherwise you would have no way to choose other folders / albums.
Thanks – this is really interesting. So, when you adjusted the login by prepending “WORKGROUP\” are you saying literally the word “WORKGROUP” or whatever the workgroup is in the SMB setup? I am unfamiliar with how SMB works or is setup.
If you do this (and potentially these other configuration changes) are you able to view files on a NAS with Nitro?
The app has a preset for this in the Presets > Tone. It’s called Negative <-> Positive.
The app also has two features for retouching. One is Spot/Wire which is very basic and there is an AI Eraser now as well. Both are in the Quick Fixes section of Edit (where auto enhance is)A Grain adjustment is on the list to do. I had a version but I wasn’t happy with it, so it needs more work. That said, it won’t be a true film simulator – I don’t have the resources for that.
I haven’t looked into it yet. I first have to implement iCloud Drive support. While iCloud Photo Library is supported, but Photos handles the iCloud stuff itself. For regular iCloud Drive, I have to implement Apple’s APIs. For OneDrive, I have to implement Microsoft’s APIs. For Dropbox, I have to implement Dropbox’s APIs, etc. So unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to either of your questions.
People have suggested putting Auto Enhance into the slider section, but I am trying to build out the Quick Fixes so that people can accomplish most or all of their editing in that section and only go to sliders for fine-tuning or special purposes. That’s why AE is in Quick Fixes.
Also, if I implemented an “AI” or non-slider-based auto enhance, it would not make sense to put it with the sliders.
You are right that the app does not auto-open the sliders from auto enhance. People are at least as likely to use different sliders or features to continue editing as they are to adjust the sliders moved by AE.
The app doesn’t sort by EXIF date – only by the file’s creation date. It uses creation date that because reading the EXIF date takes a long time which would slow down display and sorting a lot. Typically for original images, creation date and EXIF date are the same thing, but not always.
Apple Lens Correction reads lens metadata stored in the original file. If present, then it will correct distortion and lens shading (only).
When is it present? No simple answer. It requires the lens to send the correction metadata to the camera body and for the body to write it to the file. When the lens and body can communicate the data is stored. However, a lens might not have the data, but the body can write it, or the lens has the data, but the body doesn’t know how to write it. Sometimes a lens will provide it for some focal lengths, but not others (for example, a 24-150 might provide it at wide angle, but not telephoto because there isn’t meaningful distortion or shading)
There is nothing per se that DSLRs cannot be corrected, but for the most part, they aren’t.
Yes, Disable Lens Profile turns off Apple Lens Correction.
“Switch to Automatic Lens Correction When Possible” is a setting that is for people with older versions of Nitro. Those versions could not correct as many lens / camera / format combinations, so people may have manually corrected them. This setting replaces manual correction with the metadata-based correction.
“Improved Lens Correction” should bring up a dialog with help. It does on my machine. I do not know why it is not working for you. Sorry.
Well, it depends on what you are trying to achieve. You can export the originals + the ratings and edits to Photos, which allows you to continue editing and maintain full resolution. Or you can have Nitro generate a new file as you describe. But that will “burn in” the edits.
If your goal is to make a rendered image for Photos, then HEIF-10 is fine. If your original is RAW (as you state), then I would recommend a wide gamut color space, like Display P3 because 10-bit HEIF is fine for that (8-bit is not).
Because Show Original is a “state” – which means that you enter Show Original and then have to exit Show Original. You have to release the M key or release the button. So, it’s possible for the app to “miss” the exit and then be confused. So, my guess is that at some point, the app got confused and was not properly handling the Show Original state. Quit / reopen will fix that because it clears out the incorrect state in the app. Sorry.
The radial mask can already be turned into an elliptical and rotated. You can resize the radial by grabbing on the circle controls and rotate it by grabbing between the circles (on the line that defines the mask.
Can you reproduce this problem, or did it only happen once? Also, what happens if you press “M” or press and hold on the image (these are also ways to do Show Original)?
