    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.

    Wow. That is quite a mess. Thanks for sharing your experience – terrible though it was.

    Not sure. Might be a permissions issue. I suggest adding the folder that has the images to Nitro first. Then send them to Nitro from PM.

    Yes, but I have been busy with the new Eraser algorithm (replacement for retouch).

    If you are on a Nitro subscription or trial and want to buy the lifetime, do this:

    1. Open Nitro, go to app Settings and pick View Prices.
    2. Purchase the Lifetime (the price you see is the discounted price).
    3. If you have a subscription, go back to app settings and pick Manage Subscription and then cancel your subscription.

    Unfortunately, the App Store does not have the concept of a “sale” (just a price change). As a result, when I change the price, Nitro get a new price, but it doesn’t know what the old price was (and each country has its own price that is specified by Apple). Anyway, I will figure out a way to put better messaging into the pricing screen for Nitro so it’s easier to understand the sale prices. Sorry for the confusing experience.

    The regular price is $99.99 US. The sale price is $49.99 US.
    In Canada, the regular (non RP) price is $129.99. The sale price is $69.99. Apple sets the price outside of the US using exchange rates and aims for “9.99” at the end when possible, that’s why it’s not 64.99. Apple does not update prices frequently due to exchange rates.

    Sorry, I did not understand what you mean by ‘is Fuji’s lossless compress also compress on EXIF?’
    Fujifilm compression’s exif should be basically the same vs. uncompressed RAW.
    are you saying that GPS is not included, but other fields are (like ISO and Aperture)? Or is all exif stripped?

    For reasons that only Apple understands, profiled lens correction is not provided for their cameras. In other words, Apple does not write the lens correction metadata to the RAW files that can be used to correct for distortion and vignetting. That said, lens correction metadata never accounts for keystone, as that is a function of the image / composition, not of the lens itself.

    Sorry to hear about that issue. Is it possible that you have turned off Location export in the export dialog? There is a metadata popup in the export dialog that controls what metadata is written out.

    Yes, that could be done, though I think the “real” solution is to implement stacking. I’ll have to think about. Thanks for the suggestion.

    That should be doable. I’ll put it on the to do list.

    I haven’t committed to JPEG XL because Apple has not the ability to export into that format yet. I rely on macOS / iOS for export because they handle metadata insertion and the rest of my system uses those same services. I was surprised they didn’t add it in Tahoe / iOS 26. Maybe next year.

    Setting the dpi value in export only has value in a few situations. Some printers (and printer companies) look at the DPI value when rendering the image. So, I wouldn’t bother setting it unless the printer / print house wants it.

    Yes, using file system folders and the Photo Library is a powerful workflow. Quite a few people do that. In fact, Nitro has a specific feature that lets you export originals + ratings + edits between the two systems. So you can edit in a Finder folder and then add the original + all the edits to the Photo Library (or vice-versa) – meaning that you can continue editing non-destructively if you like. Of course, you can also just export a finished image to the Photo Library as well.
